Luxury stays in Chiang Rai

CHIANG RAI Direct flights fromHong Kong on Hong Kong Express make it possible for busy executives and their families to take long weekend breaks, and the luxury Pa Sak Tong estate says it is capitalising on the new service offering special stay and tour packages.

Chiang Rai is best known for its hill-tribe cultures, walking streets that attract tourists and locals at the weekend,  traditional markets and elegant Lanna style temples.

Pa Sak Tong Estate, offering luxury villa full-board accommodation, is located 12 km from the town centre on the old Chiang Mai road, roughly 2 Km beyond the popular Singha Park.

The estate covers nearly 30 acres of wooded parkland and gardens dotted with lotus ponds. Residences include two villas, each with its own pool and spa, and three spacious guesthouses built entirely from golden teak. The entire estate can host up to 18 people in  comfort and privacy, making it an ideal retreat for a board meeting, or an incentive holiday for top corporate executives and families.

The management offers a selection of thought-provoking private excursions that will deepen a visitor’s understanding of the local culture. It can include tours by a mountain bike, or limousine, early morning visits to a temple  offering food to the monks, or the resort’s signature excursion to nearby Doi Chang Mountain, famed for its coffee plantations and home to the Doi Chaang coffee factory.  Guests are treated to a picnic on the summit close to 1,800 metres above sea level.
