Located in Chiang Mai, an ancient city in northern Thailand, also known as the "Rose of the North"Dhara Dhevi Chiang Mai"teeth,
FormerLanna Dynastyof"Urban developmentIt was built with the concept of "[a walled city]", and it brilliantly recreates a walled city (a collection of settlements).
The total area of that vast site is, believe it or not!60 acres (approximately 242,820 square meters)in,
To put it simply,Equivalent to 5 Tokyo DomesIt boasts an incredible amount of space! (Amazing!)
This magnificent luxury resort hotel, inspired by royal temples and shrines, will transport us to a world we have never seen before.
Let's proceed through the entrance where the gatekeeper is, and now we're here!
Even after passing through the entrance, a vast area unfolds before you, and another gate resembling a castle gate appears.
Within the grounds just before the gate, there is a Thai restaurant run by Dhara Devi, a Chinese restaurant,
Furthermore, there is a shopping mall attached to the facility, which is also open to the general public.
We'll share details about that later♪
Previously, this was:Mandarin OrientalIt was operated under the brand name "".
August 15, 2013As an owner's own brand,
NameDhara Dhevi Chiang MaiThey've given it the name " " and restarted it♪
As you pass through the gate, a palace-like structure suddenly appears before your eyes.
You'll be led to a gateway to another world, as if you've traveled back in time to the era of ancient dynasties!
Dhara Devi Chiang Maiteeth,
In this era in which runners' unique traditional arts, customs, and culture are disappearing,
Witnessing the disappearing traditional arts and cultures,
By protecting this precious heritage,
The next generation or visitors should not only inherit the art that their ancestors built, but also...
To learn about and understand the philosophy and wisdom that thrives there,
Furthermore, so that local people can take pride in their culture and pass it on to their children,
The runners have a 700-year history, and they have skillfully combined various architectural styles and cultures that have flourished in different eras.
All of that is the owner's responsibility.SachetsIt is created based on his passionate feelings.
In fact, when you see this magnificent facade up close, you honestly just can't help but enjoy taking pictures.
The scale is far greater than what the pictures suggest, and it's a shame I can't fully convey it!
The changing background as time passes will surely make for a beautiful picture.
The best time to visit would be after sunset, when the sky is blue and the scenery is illuminated.
We'll share more details later!
The architecture and design team for this project is comprised of a young generation who genuinely love the art of running.
Apparently, most of them are from Chiang Mai.
They brought craftsmen to see real runner architecture, art, and design firsthand, and to apply it to their own work.
They apparently traveled around Southeast Asia, visiting not only places within Thailand but also China and India, to see the legacy of the Lanna people! (Amazing!)
Dhara Devi Chiang MaiThe architecture includes wood carving, stucco, stonework, glass decoration, ceramics, etc.
This piece brings together the finest skills from various fields in northern Thailand.
You can drive your vehicle up the ramp next to the facade and proceed directly to the hotel front desk.
If you're arriving on foot, you might want to climb the stairs in the center of the facade and feel like a princess!

And they even provided ice-cold hand towels! (So happy!)
Veil fruit is a fruit with a name that's not very familiar in Japan!
Although it belongs to the citrus family, it has almost no citrusy acidity.
It has a subtle, sweet, relaxing scent reminiscent of caramel, and a slightly savory taste.
In Thailand, the fruit is sliced and dried in the sun.
Immerse it in boiling water, boil it, then add plenty of sugar and let it cool.
It's said to be a sweet, juice-like drink that people consume regularly for health maintenance and to quench their thirst.
I went there earlierWarorot MarketThere were lots of dried bale fruits for sale there.
It has a rich flavor, and the sweetness is quite sweet by Japanese standards,
Because it's thoroughly chilled, it naturally soothes and cools your tired body♪
