We spent 5 nights at Baan Orapin. My husband, myself and our adult daughter shared a one bedroom suite. It was ample space and one of the most comfortable hotels we have ever been to. It was perfect in every way. It is close by the old town, a good 20 min walk or quick tuk-tuk ride. It is across the road from the Mae Ping (river) and several riverfront restaurants that make for delightful dining. We liked Gallery Riverside the best. The street also houses many shops with gorgeous silks, weavings (don't miss Sop Moei in front of the hotel, and you get 10% off goods there if you staying at Baan Orapin), and interesting clothing. The hotel is set in a large beautifully landscaped family compound. The original family home is in the center of the property and is beautiful. there is a lovely salt water pool to lounge beside. The breakfast which is included is incredible. Many, many choices all beautifully prepared. The room all have coffee and tea makers and a small well stocked fridge with no mark up on beer,etc. Free bottled water is provided daily. Bathroom is really pretty and large with a great shower. There is wonderful balcony for sitting which overlooks the luscious grounds. The beds are wonderful. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else in Chiang Mai!! I concur with all the travelers who can't wait to return to Baan Orapin.

Baan Orapin is a wonderful, beautiful, oasis in Chiang Mai. The estate is lovely. The accommodations are exceptionally attractive and comfortable. Breakfast is excellent. Excellent restaurants are within walking distance. Independent travelers will be delighted. The only caution is that staff speak minimal English.

Great spacious rooms. Tranquil pool. Excellent breakfast. Freindley staff. Just out of the main town but not too far or tuk tuk if you are tired for 50 baht. Reccomended. Rooms also have free wifi.

We stayed here with our adult son for five nights and it wasn't enough! If we ever get the chance to come back it will be for at least eight or nine days. We had a family suite in the front but I never was bothered by the traffic noise (maybe we were just too tired). Our suite was absolutely beautiful and our son had his own room and bathroom. It is what I imagine 'authentic Thai' to look like. And the frenchtoast was so yummy. My husband ordered the number 6 for breakfast a few times and really liked it. All I can say is you will want to come back!
