The rooms
Four ways to sleep in
an old teak house
Hand-planed teak floors, lacquered doors and cotton woven in San Kamphaeng. Breakfast in the courtyard is always included.
Festival calendar
Twelve moons of
Chiang Mai
Pick a month to see what's on, how busy the old city gets and how our rates move. Then let us hold the dates.
Dates that follow the lunar calendar move each year and are confirmed by the city. Dates shown are estimates.
Lantern wish
Write a wish.
Let it float.
On Yi Peng night, Chiang Mai sends its wishes skyward in paper lanterns. Send yours from here, then keep the card.
Your lantern is rising. Your keepsake card is ready.
Real sky lanterns may only be released at permitted events. At Baan Kaew we hang a paper lantern in the courtyard for every guest's wish instead.
