Sometimes you find a place that just radiates easy-going vibes, and Chiang Mai is one such location. It lacks the business of Bangkok, and the hardcore party scene of Phuket, instead relying on its natural parks, beautiful landscapes and abundance of relaxed coffee shops and spas. The Pavana Chiang Mai Resort, formerly The Spa Resort Chiang Mai is a holistic oasis just beyond the town centre, geared towards rest, rejuvenation and healthy transformation.
