A 45-minute drive outside of Chiang Mai, the two-and-a-half pearl Mai Siam Resort is a small family resort with only three bungalows. There isn't much in the area in terms of restaurants, bars, or shops, but it's a great place to unwind, and is near a hot spring and mountains. The bungalows are furnished in contemporary Thai decor, with desks, tables and chairs, king-size beds, and outdoor seating. The resort has a small dining area where they make scrumptious home-cooked meals, with many ingredients sourced from the owner's garden. There are hammocks to relax on and some other small sitting areas throughout the pleasant grounds, but little else.
