Rice Barn and Rooms

Rice Barn used to be the wooden house in Thailand for keeping rice in a dry, clean place without insects. On arrival, Rice barn and Rooms presents a lovely garden residence where Al and Nk have lived 23 years, welcomed and guests from around the world . With a plain and natural doorway, one needs to go deeper to savor its beauty and richness.Waking up in one of its rooms, I would go through an arch surrounded by bamboo leaves with morning dew, where a water lily is waiting for sunlight touch to open her smile. Ducks are swimming at ease in the pool near the wooden house, above there is a wind bell with Chinese characters "Good Luck and Happiness" jingling, in the breeze passing through pink Bauhinia and white Pulmeria flowers.In this tranquil atmosphere, perhaps starting a day with meditation at a cottage in the corner, or enjoy a full day sun bath on lawn chairs, occasionally dipping into the swimming pool to cool down in the midday heat. This garden and houses are already a heaven, regardless of numerous places to be explored around this area.With the landlord couple Al and Nk come from Scotland and locally, the house decorations combine both Thai and Scotish style, featuring birds shape in doors and even the pendant lamp, as Nk's Thai name means "bird". But surely you can order an authentic English breakfast or feel the highland warm heart from Al, as this resort is a perfect blend of Chiangmai's natural beauty and international flavor.The Barn and Room Hotel is an unexpected garden residence. There are two wooden houses that were converted from the original "barns" in Thailand. Go up the wooden ladder to the second floor and there are dry, clean and mosquito-free rooms. There is also a swimming pool in the garden, as well as pools and fountains for ducks to play in. When the wind blows, it passes through the surrounding redbud trees and frangipani bushes, and the wind chimes with the words "good luck and good luck" written on them hanging from the trees jingle.I woke up to the sound of birdsong in the morning, faced the sun and walked through the bamboo leaf arch with crystal dewdrops. The water lilies in the pond next to the Buddha statue were still waiting for the first ray of sunlight to touch and smile. On this day, whether you are sitting and meditating in the cabin in the corner of the garden, sunbathing in a deck chair on the lawn, or jumping into the swimming pool to enjoy a moment of coolness in the hot midday, this place is already paradise, not to mention there are many places to go around. Worth exploring.The landlords Al and Nk are from Scotland and Chiang Mai respectively, so the decoration and taste here are a mixture of different styles: Nk means "bird" in Thai, so bird patterns can be seen everywhere from doors and fences to hanging lights. ; And from Al, of course you can order an authentic English breakfast and feel the simplicity and warmth from the highlands... The barn and room hotel embody the two characteristics of Chiang Mai: the beautiful local scenery and the international atmosphere cultural atmosphere.

The owner is very kind. The service is friendly, like family.

Cozy, small and family complex in a quiet location. Ideal for relaxing, but too far away from the action for us. Nok was a very nice host.However, it was already a bit old. Once we locked ourselves out of the bathroom because the doorknob was facing us. The towel holder also fell off when touched. That was a bit annoying. Luckily the host took care of it straight away.Otherwise we would have been happy about a safe.You still can't complain about value for money 👍🏻

Beautiful garden. We had trouble with the room. Unclean bathroom, defective mosquito net, no way to darken the room.There was also an event nearby and the noise pollution was too great for a good night's sleep.Long story short. We didn't find what we were looking for and shortened our stay from two days to one.
