Tamarind Village is a charming hotel in the heart of Chiang Mai’s old city that’s good value for money.
Constructed around a 200-year-old Tamarind Tree, the boutique hotel has a lot of character and is remarkably peaceful for such a central property.
A turquoise pool links the two main wings of Tamarind Village together. Surrounded by loungers and parasols, it’s a great place to cool off after exploring the city.
The Ruen Tamarind Restaurant and bar is split into two levels with both indoor and outdoor seating and serves a variety of food and cocktails. A range of traditional northern Thai dishes complement a selection of international choices. The spa offers a range of massages and treatments.
The Rooms
Rooms are split into four categories Lanna, Lanna Deluxe, Tamarind Suite and Spa Suite. Space is the main difference between the different types, and all are comfortably furnished. The hotel is decorated in a traditional Lanna (northern Thai) style throughout, using fabrics and patterns drawn from the various tribes of the region.
Tamarind Village Chiang Mai is a 15-minute transfer from the Chiang Mai airport and train station. Just a short stroll from your doorstep, you’ll find some of the city’s best attractions including ancient temples, restaurants and the ever-popular night bazaar.

- Central turquoise swimming pool in a shaded garden setting
- Village Spa offering wellness treatments and massage
