Our story begins with my grandfather, a renowned architect and an expert in cultivating plants, he set out with a vision to build an ideal holiday home for his family. He designed this home by incorporating local architectural heritage, embodying the essence of a Northern Thai traditional house. Expertly crafted by Thai Craftsmen using teak timber, it is designed to withstand our hot and humid climate throughout the year. Situated in a peaceful area of Mae Jo, only 30 minutes from the centre
