Less than an hour's drive from Thailand's northern capital of Chiang Mai, amid thickly-forested hills and misty valleys, lies the Mae-Sa Valley Resort.  Two thousand feet high, in an area of great scenic charm, the landscape has been adapted to provide a new experience in holiday enchantment.  Individual thatched-roof houses and bamboo cottages provide accommodation that blends beautifully with the setting and meets high standards of comfort.  The mountain climate provides bright sunny days for exploring : crisp, cool evenings for fireside gatherings.  And the cultivated terraces provide a riot of tropical and temperate flowers, along with all the vegetables served fresh at our restaurant.  The Mae-Sa Valley is a totally new experience of Thailand.  It's remote but easily accessible, fresh with the joys of a natural environment while providing the pleasures of fine food and warm hospitality.

The charm of a private cottage, with special touches of comfort..

The thatched-roof houses are of local wood and woven matting, each decorated in the colourful northern style.  Beds are thick and softly quilted.  Bathrooms have modern fittings, and hot water.  Our stilted bamboo cottages have been created in the traditional pattern, each with a twin-bed room and spacious balcony.

A restaurant that serves you from the land...
Our menu gives you the choice of Thai or Western food, with all vegetables fresh from the Mae-Sa Valley gardens.

A wealth of unique attractions to explore..
The Mae-Sa Valley provides lazy days of quiet relaxation, plus the chances to explore.  Nearby are tribal villages of the Meo, where the ancient way of custom and costume are little changed today.  There's an elephant camp, with a daily show, a short hike or bus ride away.  You can even return to the resort on an elephant's back, along a mountain trail.  Your touring can include an orchid nursery, and a lobster farm, and take you deeper into the famous mountain scenery of the north.
 
Mae-Sa Valley Craft Village offers a day out with a difference.  Nestling within one of Thailand's most beautiful botanical gardens, with its own stream and tiny waterfall, The Craft Village is home to a group of the region's highly -skilled artisans : potters, weavers, silversmiths, wood-carvers.  But here, visitors can not only enjoy watching them at work, they can join in! Morning and afternoon activities enable participants to learn some of the skills that have made northern Thai craft work famous throughout the world.
 
Mae-Sa Valley Craft Village has three centres of activity : a Thai cookery school, a health centre and the craft village itself.  Each has an English-speaking instructor and each session, morning or afternoon, lasts two and a half hours.  Participants can spend a half or a whole day and can learn two different crafts or practice one in greater depth.  Where appropriate visit that they have made themselves.  This is a day-out that everyone can enjoy - adults and children.  No prior experience is required and everyone is helped to achieve their best results.
