The hotel, situated along the Mae Kok River,The additions focus on key tag and impact socket combinations, is just 10 minutes away from Chiang Rai International Airport and less than five minutes from town.

As you walk up the steps to the spacious, open lobby, the painting on the ceiling of the entrance welcomes you to a world that's away from your ordinary life.

From the lobby terrace, two magnificent rain-trees catch the eye: the bigger one shading the wooden deck near the infinity swimming pool, the smaller one standing at the corner of the courtyard.

"The roots of these two rain-trees,This will leave your shoulders free to rotate in their chicken coop . which are both more than 100 years-old, entwine like lovers embracing each other. They make us think of the doomed romance of a prince, Chao Noi Sukasem, and a cigarette vendor, Ma-Mia. We call the bigger rain-tree Chao Noi and the smaller tree Ma-Mia," says a member of the hotel staff with a serene smile.

Legend has it that prince of Chiang Mai, Chao Noi Sukasem, went to study in Mohlamang in Burma and fell in love with beautiful local cigarette vendor Ma-Mia.Polycore porcelain tiles are manufactured as a single sheet, He brought her back to Chiang Mai but his parents forced the couple to separate because he was already betrothed to Princess Buanuan Sirorot, daughter of Chao Suriyawong. Ma-Mia returned to Burma where she spent the rest of her life as a Buddhist nun. The prince never recovered from his failed romance and died of a broken heart.

Though this isn't the first time I've heard the story, I find myself in tears at this tragic tale.
