While not in Bangkok, Kanchanaburi is just a short two-hour drive from the city itself, and is great for day trips, with plenty of gorgeous properties if you choose to rest your weary feet for a night or two. We love inchantreedoopool for its proximity to River Kwai and other iconic sights, as well as for its infinity pool overlooking a picturesque landscape of the river and its surroundings. This industrial-chic boutique hotel has just 18 rooms — perfect if you’re looking for that quiet getaway.

Sometimes, it’s okay to live in the past. Case in point? The esteemed Bangkok Publishing Residence. Book a stay at the former printing house of the iconic Bangkok Weekly and the residence of a publishing family, and immerse yourself in its storied past. With its vintage yet tasteful interior decor dating back to the mid-1900s, and a museum catered to its history, this not-so-humble abode is definitely a tourist destination in itself. Do remember to book early, though — this boutique hotel only has eight rooms!

5. Ming Shou Boutique Hotel

If you’re wondering why this hotel reminds you of the heritage shophouses we have here in the Katong enclave, that’s because Old Town Phuket is steeped in Thai-Peranakan culture. Located in the thick of the action, Ming Shou is just a short walk to the night market and is flanked by a variety of popular Phuket restaurants, cafes, and bars. Culture vultures will enjoy a thoughtfully designed interior, which elegantly reflects the intricacies of the Peranakan architectural design.

6. Anona Beachfront Phuket Resort

There are two types of Phuket tourists — those who love exploring arts and heritage, and those who’d love to get themselves some vitamin sea. Situated in the heart of Patong Beach with stellar views of the Andaman Sea and gorgeous mountain ranges, Anona Beachfront somehow manages to capture the best of both worlds. Designed to incorporate a touch of heritage in an otherwise modern design, the space is luxury at its finest. Anona also comes with a shopping centre so that you can get all your holiday essentials and souvenirs, and it even features work by local artists for free at its premises!

For those with adventure and nature coursing through their veins, Kiree Thara answers the call.

The resort is perfect for families, thanks to its lush variety of amenities too.

8. Nine Hotel Chiang Mai

At one glance, Nine Hotel’s facade is reminiscent of the buildings you’d find in a place like Europe, where traditional brickwork remains a mainstay. However, take a step inside and you’d come to see a gorgeous blend of Thai tradition and modernity. Inspired by the old town walls of Chiang Mai, Thai musical instruments, and the city’s tranquil environment, Nine Hotel is located within the historic walled quarters of the city, with the ancient Wat Phra Singh temple just outside — and all kinds of street food and night markets within arm’s reach. The boutique hotel also comes with a unique Play Room which functions as a communal space for hotel guests to come together to mingle and recharge. Oh, did we mention that it has an absolutely gorgeous poolside?

9. K Maison Lanna Boutique Hotel

Chiang Mai is known for its rich Thai history, and yet every so often, we chance upon a unique juxtaposition between traditional intricate architecture and modern Japandi-style design that gives the city a wondrous touch. At K Maison Lanna, you get to experience this unique combination and more, with its touch of nature — what the locals call Lanna. This 19-room boutique hotel is situated in the popular Way Ket neighbourhood, which is known for its array of shops selling vintage goods. It’s also located along the Mae Ping River, which means tranquillity at its finest. If you love what K Maison stands for, you’d be pleased to note that they have a branch in Bangkok too.

What was once a hidden gem is now slowly turning into a thriving tourist destination that’s very similar to Ubud in Bali. Known for its unbeatable panoramic views, Pai is the perfect place for those seeking a quiet respite, simply due to accessibility. So if you find yourself craving more adventure when in Chiang Mai, make that trip up to Pai, and stay at Pai Village Boutique Resort & Farm. It’s one of the town’s most well-loved resorts — and for good reason. This award-winning eco-resort is a short stroll from Pai’s main city square, with its unique nightlife and variety of shops. Take your pick from a gorgeous selection of villas that come with scenic views surrounded by lush nature. You even get to access their sister property, The Village Farm, where you’re invited to bask in the stillness of nature and reconnect with what Earth has to offer.
