Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
In Phu Phiang amid teak groves and rice paddies, fifteen minutes east of Nan town.
The rooms
Rice Terrace suites look across the paddies from deep soaking tubs, and select villas have private plunge pools.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
At the table
Pasaa Nan serves Northern Thai dishes seasoned in the subtle local style. By night, the cafe turns to cocktails.
How it began
Studio Miti laid out the compound across an old teak plantation, working with arborists to preserve the original grove.
