At Wanlamun Rim Nam, you’ll dine right by the Ping River; think modern Thai flavours, classic international dishes and fresh, healthy options served in a chic setting with indoor and al fresco seating. It’s the perfect spot for lazy breakfast, long lunches and romantic dinners. And when the sun dips low, head up to the Rooftop Bar, where cocktails meet panoramic river views. Sip locally inspired drinks, nibble on light bites and soak up the golden hour glow.

What's Included

Breakfast at Wanlamun Rim Nam Restaurant

The spa is where ancient Lanna traditions meet modern relaxation. Inspired by centuries-old techniques from Northern Thailand, treatments* here are designed to melt away stress, soothe tired muscles and leave your skin glowing. The ambiance? Calm, cozy and infused with natural aromas that transport you to a world of pure bliss.

Take a dip in not one, but two sparkling swimming pools; perfect for cooling off after a day of temple hopping or for sipping cocktails with a view of the ping river.
