MeganTravelled as a couple · Aug 11While it is an older resort, Suan Bua has vast grounds with lots of gardens, many good options for breakfast, the room was ready on arrival. The staff are beautiful 😊It is only a 30-40 min drive from the airport. We would stay here again.
Towels were a little ‘worn’ but the overall room/ bathroom was good.

BloggadocioTravelled with family · Jan 7The room was clean, the bathroom was good, staff were pleasant and the breakfast was good.
The shower water was barely luke warm. They swopped my room but there little to no difference in the water temperature. They could also provide an ashtray for the room's balcony. The location is remote and it took me 2 hours and a ridiculous number of taxi cancellations to get a driver willing to do the trip. I eventually had to haggle with a Grab Taxi to take me at double the price initially quoted. I refused to make use of the hotel transfer at the ridiculous price of 800Bht.
CraigBusiness trip · Aug 27The Staff were excellent, grounds and location were amazing and Breakfast was quite good...
As an Architect I understand that this hotel is run by a very good Group, however this particular hotel is starting to show a tired outdated Pebbledash... Needs a spruce up, time to renew and refresh!!! The pavilion accommodations in the adjoining International school owned by the same group looked enchanting...
We recently had our conference at this place, all the guests we're attendees, so we're like renting the whole place. Friendly and accommodating staff, we borrowed multiple small stuff from the hotel, and some staff are even willing to go an extra mile to help :) Awesome place to have your conferences at Suan Bua!
I attended a conference in October 2018. Our conference attendees were the only guests. The garden and surroundings are stunningly beautiful. At night the frogs and insects serenade. The morning wake up call is done by the birds. The food was excellent as well as the service. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. Please be aware that the location is some distance from Chiang Mai city. Suan Bua is good for conferences and retreats away from it all. If you want to enjoy the night markets, tours or other activities in Chiang Mai, know you are some distance away. I have been to Suan Bua for a number of conferences. This was the most pleasant visit. There is a laundry option, coffee shop and other amenities just outside the main gate if you want something different.
jg1wayAug 10Many other reviews also give ample feedback as to the food quality issue. Years ago at a conference where the vast majority of people attending, it was discovered the staff use unclean water for ice and for washing dishes. I just spent 2 days with my school, and I had diarrhea for the whole time. It would be nice is the General Manager, Khun Pichet would actually take action and do something. His comments are empty rhetoric.
This is a wonderful Thai-style resort in the mountains behind Chiang Mai. Set in beautiful gardens with streams of water running through them, it is the perfect spot for a get-away for couples, families or even singles who want a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. My room was large, clean and comfortable with linen and bath towels changed every day. The bathroom had both tub and shower and was light, airy and well-appointed. Food was good and overall the facilities were very good indeed. I would recommend this resort to anyone travelling to Thailand and wanting a quiet get-away for a couple of days.
EZinnTravelled with family · Feb 14We were here as a family for a conference. The rooms were nice, and the food was good, they always had a good selection of food for adults and kids, spicy and not spicy. the grounds are always nice and green and many flower. The coffee is not too good but that is minor. There is a swimming pool and many places for the kids to play and explore. would go back again.
