The Chedi Chiang Mai 1




Chiang Mai has many lovely boutique hotels and resorts, and that is why it’s one of my favorite holiday destinations.

Set along the banks of the Mae Ping River, is the superlative The Chedi Chiang Mai. Designed by Kerry Hill Architects, the hotel cleverly fuses modern-day and local architectural elements together. The centerpiece is the former British Consulate built in the 1920s. The colonial building now houses the hotel’s restaurant and bar.

Needless to say, I had a field day photographing this gorgeous property. And staying there for three nights was an unforgettable experience. I missed lounging at the balcony reading my favorite book, The Alchemist.
