A Village in the City

Tucked away on a quiet soi just a few minutes walk from the moat and Chiang Mai Gate lies a hotel resort by the name of Tadkham Village. The name village is not inappropriate given that this is a place with a cozy, elegant feel that suggests you've come to a secluded, peaceful and homely little hamlet.

How does Tadkham manage to pull this off when it's so close to the center of Chiang Mai city? Well, it's all about two simple, all-important factors - location and style. The village is perfectly located in an area just off Nantaram Road which remains blissfully peaceful: and then there is its elegant yet comforting dark wood decor and the village's courtyard feel.

Starting at 900 baht a night, rooms at Tadkham Village come reasonably priced with the top rooms priced at just 1500 baht a night. All rooms offer a private bathroom, a high-speed internet connection and that sylish, homely feel. The Tadkham tropical garden in the courtyard just outside the rooms offers a little slice of Lanna solitude that makes the perfect setting to sit and read if you've decided not to venture into the city for the rest of the day. The outdoor area also features a restaurant serving meals throughout the day, including breakfast.

To reserve a room or get more information about Tadkham Village, call the lobby directly on 053-203799 or 0835172301. Email on info@tadkham-village.com or take a look at the hotel's website, which has information on room rates and facilities, at www.tadkham-village.com.
