The Legend Chiang Rai Resort & Spa
Waterside bolthole with local styling
An authentic hideaway with breathtaking river views in Chiang Rai’s countryside.
The Legend Chiang Rai is nestled on the Mae Kok riverbank, away from the hum of civilisation in Chiang Rai just a mile away. Upon entering The Legend Chiang Rai, the first thing visitors notice is how rustic it feels. Decorated with local Lanna styling and teak wood that is found throughout northern Thailand, the simple beauty of the resort complements the breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. This is the ideal spot for a breath of fresh air and respite in between exploring Thailand’s lively northern cities.
Why we love The Legend Chiang Rai Resort & Spa
-
With its traditional Lanna-style décor, it’s very much in keeping with the culture of this part of northern Thailand
-
You can drink in the river views everywhere from the infinity pool to the waterside terrace of one of the two restaurants
-
It feels miles from anywhere, yet a 10-minute tuk-tuk ride takes you into the heart of Chiang Rai with its temples and markets
-
If you upgrade from a studio to a villa, you’ll enjoy views of the river and the luxury of your own private plunge pool
