I am a Chiang Rai native. Bambuh grew from a personal decision to slow down and reconnect with the lifestyle I grew up with. What started as empty land has, over the past decade, become a one-acre forest garden that was shaped step by step. Part of this journey was rebuilding traditional Thai stilt houses and combining them with modern architecture. These wooden houses are part of my heritage, but they are slowly disappearing. Bambuh is not designed as a resort, but as a place with meaning behind it. The mix of old and new reflects how I see life here today: rooted in tradition, but adapting to the present. Over time, friends and visitors kept telling me how much they enjoyed the calm, the garden, and the feeling of being slightly outside the city while still close enough. That is how Bambuh gradually became a place I now share with guests. I enjoy meeting people from different cultures and keeping things personal but natural. I am not running a hotel in the traditional sense—this is my home, and I try to offer the kind of stay I would appreciate myself: relaxed, helpful when needed, and with space to experience Chiang Rai in your own way.

Escape the ordinary and discover a different side of Chiang Rai. Bambuh – The Garden Stay is a peaceful collection of seven individually designed rooms across four distinctive buildings, set within a lush one-acre tropical garden. Blending contemporary tropical architecture with traditional northern Thai wooden houses, every stay offers its own character while sharing the same sense of space, privacy and nature. Wake up to birdsong, wander through the forest garden, relax beside the creek or watch the sun set over the surrounding rice fields. Experience the quiet pace of rural Thai life and discover the surrounding countryside by bicycle or on foot, where rice fields, rolling foothills, local coffee shops, hill-tribe villages, small waterfalls and scenic hiking trails offer a glimpse of northern Thailand beyond the city. Whether you spend your days day discovering temples, local markets, the countryside, or simply enjoying the garden at a slower pace, staying at Bambuh gives you the freedom to enjoy Chiang Rai in your own way. Despite its tranquil setting, Bambuh is conveniently located just 10 km from Chiang Rai’s city centre and within easy reach of Chiang Rai’s most popular attractions. Local cafés, restaurants, convenience stores and a market and the renowned Black House Museum are all within 1 km, and can easily be reached on foot or by bicycle. More than a place to stay, Bambuh is thoughtfully designed for travellers who value authentic experiences, inspiring spaces and the freedom to enjoy Chiang Rai at their own pace—whether that means discovering the region or simply slowing down and reconnecting with nature.
