if you want a hotel that's a complete contrast to the centre of Chiang Mai then this is it.

Set 10 minutes out of the city centre the name of the resort lives up to it's name - it is a lush green group of rice barns set next to a small river surrounded by ferns!

the owner and his family made our stay fantastic - the service is excellent.

“Beautiful and Unique in Chiang Mai”

I was so curious to see what Fern Paradise was going to be like after reading such amazing reviews on tripadvisor. We were not disappointed! The rice barns are amazing and you are certainly not roughing it. they are so luxurious inside! beautiful platform style bed! they even have a TV inside the rice barn which i was not expecting. the best part was that they were so helpful during our stay. we booked the thai cooking school which was the best!! we had such a great time. the breakfast in the morning was such a nice experience as well because you sit out along the water in nature having your coffee etc. just such a wonderful experience that we will never forget. we loved chiang mai and fern paradise was a big part of that.

“Paradise perfection”

We only stayed here for one night, but wished we could have stayed for longer.

The staff were all so lovely, the rooms were fantastic and the setting was beautiful.

All of the food we had was excellent, and we were even able to relax whilst watching a film in our bedroom courtesy of the film collection available in the library.

Overall an unforgettable stay, but probably not the best location for anyone wishing to explore Chiang Mai - stay in the centre of Chiang Mai first, then stay here for a few days to chill out - you will not regret it!

“GREAT STAY”

Fern Paradise

Mar 18, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

Spent 4 days at the Fern Paradise and it was a great base for exploring Chiang Mai. It's a small family run hotel with rooms built in beautiful gardens.The staff are very helpful and the owner, Om , was always around to help out if required.
The highlight of our trip was meeting a fantastic local taxi driver named Patrick who acted as our guide for 3 days and took us everywhere including the Golden Triangle.His English was perfect and his knowledge of the area was fantastic.
If you need a local guide ask Om to contact Patrick for you, he really is a gem.

My wife and I stayed at Fern Paradise for seven days in February. The family were incredibly attentive and made us welcome from the very start of our visit when we were met at the airport.

On our second day we were involved in a road accident and I suffered a broken leg. Niwat took us to and from the hospital where I was treated. For the next 6 days the family tended to our needs and helped us with our arrangements for repatriation to UK. Although we were disappointed to have to curtail our holiday the week at Fern Paradise was wonderfully relaxed.

We hope to visit Chain Mai again to see some of the sights we had missed. We will certainly be returning to Fern Paradise.

Thank you again Niwat and family.
