Chiang Mai is home to around 1.2 million people. The province is best known for being the capital of the ancient kingdom of northern Thailand, what locals call "Lanna."

The province has its own language, culture, and cuisine that is distinct from those in central, eastern, and southern Thailand. More than 10.8 million tourists visited the province in 2019. 

Chiang Mai is especially popular for its elephant sanctuaries, national park, and budding cannabis industry.

The house has a five-star rating from four reviews on Airbnb. One traveler said the stay was "refreshing," while another said the amenities, like the fireplace, were "spot on."

The house stood out compared to the other properties in the neighborhood, as most other homes were bungalows and cottages.

Vachira said the exterior of the lodge is waterproofed using a Japanese technique called Shou Sugi Ban, where wooden surfaces are charred with a flame.

I had dinner alone in the dining room, which I ordered from the local restaurant via a food-delivery service.

Vachira said the estate was designed to be as dimly lit as possible so that guests can "see the stars at night on a clear day."

I'd recommend that guests bring along a strong flashlight to enjoy the outdoors and star gaze after dark, and to pack a light sweater as Mae Rim can get pretty chilly at night. It's also useful to set up a mosquito coil beside the tub while relaxing to avoid getting mosquito bites.
