Phu Chaisai Resort and Spa is a delightful creation in the hills of northern Thailand.
The resorts thatched villas are constructed in sustainable and contemporary eco-style, beautifully fusing natural and conventional building materials. The widespread and creative use of bamboo and clay give a charming, romantic edge.
The resort is a great place to unwind and take your foot off the pedal. The central restaurant has indoor and outdoor, rooftop seating. The bar area is sumptuously decorated with artworks, cushioned hammocks and lounge seating. Open fires warm cooler evenings as subtle lamps illuminate the night sky. A cosy library and screening room is ideal for catching a movie or reading. The in-house spa has a variety of treatments, all with views! There is also a pottery workshop where guests can create their works to add to the resorts many unusual statues.
Phu Chaisai is for travellers who crave simplicity, nature and a genuine sense of calm. High in the hills of Chiang Rai, it suits those who want space, fresh air and a stay that feels grounded and restorative.
Perfect for couples, families or solo travellers looking to slow the pace, it’s a place to unplug softly, wander through gardens and trails, and enjoy wide valley views that shift with the light.
Dining has an earthy, homegrown feel. With produce sourced from the resort’s own organic gardens and local farmers, meals spotlight gentle northern Thai flavours. Eating here is peaceful and unhurried, especially as mist rolls through the hills at dawn or dusk.
The Rooms
The villas categories include Superior, Deluxe and Executive Cottages, Honeymoon Suites and Pool Villas. All rooms have large, comfortable living areas, with indoor and outdoor sofas and stunning views across the rolling hills of the north.
Simplicity is the overall approach, with a sprinkling of delightful artistic touches, giving each villa a unique charm and relaxing atmosphere.
