Khum Lanna

 (Français)
Lanna was the name of a prosperous self-ruling kingdom that occupied the whole
of Northern Thailand and parts of present day Myanmar and Laos. Founded in the
13th century, the name means 'Land of a million rice fields'.
The rich culture and history owe much to the influence of Burma and, to a
certain extent Laos. As a result, Lanna is quite different from other regions
of Thailand, particularly in cuisine, culture and custom. It is generally
agreed throughout Thailand, that the Northern women are the most beautiful and
people the friendliest and most polite in the country. The charm and gentleness
of the Northerners seldom fail to impress even the most demanding of visitors.
At Khum Lanna, discover the rural charms of traditional Northern Thai life and
bathe your senses in this enchanting Lanna experience. Set in a small valley
surrounded by mountains, the property is located in the serene village of
Phrao, an hour and a half drive from Chiang Mai. With emerald-green rice fields
and lush orchards, Khum Lanna gives you a luxury home-stay experience - a
celebration of heritage, food and lifestyle.
Take a leisurely bike ride around the village and visit the quiet temple and
huge reclining Buddha in a part set amidst the forest. Gain an experiential
understanding of Thai 'country' cuisine, through a special cooking class,
beginning in the market, followed by a class on the essentials of 'iconic' Thai
dishes and the art of fruit and vegetable carving.
