Na Nirand is a new luxury boutique hotel, tucked away in the heart of Chiang Mai Thailand. This perfect secluded boutique hotel has redefined the word boutique. In just a short time, it has become popular with celebrities throughout Thailand and abroad. Na Nirand is a perfect place for those looking to impress their loved ones. The setting is so unique, it is a place now so sought after for either wedding engagements, photoshoots, wedding anniversaries or romantic opportunities.
Chiang Mai is a popular city, and after being here a few days, the Na Nirand Romantic Boutique Hotel was a brilliant place to catch up on my work and my rest. The remote and private access to the riverfront overlooking the Ping River was wonderful. It was a quiet and a stunning place to appreciate the flora and fauna of what Thailand is famous for. It is also an opportunity to experience what the locals do and how they live.
Reception & Hotel Grounds
In entering the reception area I was greeted by a beautiful teaser of what was to come. I was taken back by the staff uniform which was refreshing to see. The outfits were inspired by the era of King Rama V. Na Nirand Romantic Boutique Hotel has 6 buildings which are designed in the half wood local Lanna colonial style. The 45 guest rooms are all non-smoking and have a private balcony. I loved this because I could hide away and soak up the classic but warm interior design.
When I walked around the ground I was amazed by to the outdoor setting which was breathtaking, I was greeted by a massive one-hundred-year-old tree at the end of the pool. Throughout my stay, I could not help ponder, reflect and glare at how beautiful this natural iconic symbolic tree was. As for anyone staying here, it is a brilliant place to take shots both day and night. The swimming pool was wonderful to swim in and soak up this romantic resort.
Romantic Lanna Grand Deluxe Room
Me and my family stayed at two Romantic Lanna Grand Deluxe rooms. The interior designs were adorned with local handicrafts such as local Lanna handwoven cloths, murals and unique furnishing. The rooms were warm, simple and boasted ample examples of timeless elegance. I am a big fan of vintage colonial-inspired tiles, so it was lovely to see these being used throughout the resort as well as my bathroom. There was plenty of storage space within the suites and the huge beds were super comfortable and the bed linen was soft and cosy. Just lying in this room was so romantic and relaxing.
The private balcony allowed me to soak up this stunning resort both day and night and with views. It is the very reason, why I never left this romantic boutique hotel.
Huan Kammung
The unique Lanna style teak house is a must-see and is the perfect area to exhibit small meetings, pre-wedding photography sessions or engagement parties. My two children loved this area, especially where they could watch YouTube let alone read a book.
Na Nirand Spa
The Spa had a two treatment room area which provided a warm, peaceful and natural ambience in the outdoor zone. The Spa had products from HARNN, which is a luxury Thai brand. I enjoyed my massage which was brilliant. The dedicated spa area was a wonderful added feature to a memorable stay here at Na Nirand Romantic Boutique Hotel. The staff asked the right questions and served my specific needs. I would recommend getting treatment here with your partner.
TIME Riverfront Cuisine & Bar
The TIME riverfront Cuisine & Bar has to be located in one of the most beautiful settings regarding a riverfront location. The restaurant is right next to the Ping River and the interior design is inspired by an industrial vintage style with a timeless charm and elegance ambience to it.
For to outside guests, the TIME Riverfront Cuisine & Bar offers fusion inspired dishes that cater both for the western clients alongside the locals. I chose to dine here during lunchtime and the food was fresh and the presentation was excellent.
It was lovely to be able to look directly outside of the restaurant and look at all the local herbs grown here which were used within the dishes. Make sure you take the time to understand and learn about the core ingredients used within the Thai cuisine. They do offer cooking lessons, but I didn’t have the time on this occasion, maybe my next visit.
I had a lot of dishes from the menu and I must say they all tasted uniquely brilliant. Even if you’re not staying here, TIME is the perfect location with the perfect food to entertain and dine your business clients let alone your friends and family.

High Tea
I approached the high tea with a child-like mentality and I was excited to experience this. The high tea was my first here in Thailand. High Tea is trending around the globe and in regards to what nation you are visiting, I am loving how the historical luxury concept has made a big comeback. No matter where I am, the definition of high tea was being taken to another level, and here at Na Nirand Romantic Boutique Hotel, I was left gagging for more. With a location such as this, I highly recommend anyone experiencing this. Just take a look at what I ate.
Conclusion
I met the owner Dr. Poti Chao, who explained to me that his mission was to redefine the word boutique. Dr.Poti Chao went onto explain that the concept of boutique hotels over many years has lost its real impact. However thanks to Na Nirand Romantic Boutique Hotel it offered an even greater and more relaxing unique experience.
