is also the perfect retreat to experience the rich heritage of Northern
Thailand. Ban Sam Lang, the cultural centre is dedicated to maintaining the many fading traditions
offering a glimpse of life in the past; they offer the Oriental Culinary Academy
and the Lanna Kids Club that will expand the imagination of all young explorers.
And when you stay with them, whether you choose the suites, villas or Residences
you will find architectural tributes to the ancient kingdom of Lanna
There is all the colour and craft of Thailand, vibrant saffron robed monks,
vast stretches of green paddy fields and the artistry of the Northern Hill
tribes.
Chiang Mai spoils travelers with its natural beauty and its range of history
and culture. The mountain scenery can simply be an inspirational backdrop or
offer an adventure, with guided treks to discover indigenous tribes and the rich
flora and fauna. The 14th century wats can simply be admired for their intricate
Lanna architecture or they may inspire a more meditative experience with
exploration of Buddhism, practiced by 90% of Thais. And then the craft that can
be viewed in factories, markets and the famous night bazaar is not only a
cultural display but can become a rather addictive shopping experience. These many
diversions are detailed by our concierge under Things to do and see.
Meanwhile at Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi we are proud to offer an entirely
cultural experience that mirrors the essence of Chiang Mai. Created as a tribute
to Lanna architecture, embracing the natural surroundings and home to a rare
collection of Northern Thai antiquities our guests can enjoy an enriching
experience in luxury fit for kings.
