Secret Garden Chiangmai

I titled my review essentially the same as i did in April, 2023!! Yes, I went back to the same and even greater experience than in April of 2023! Smooth pick up at the airport and greeted by Pai the wife of the owner. I was escorted directly to my room with no one concerned about Payment as that is far down the line in there eyes! YOU matter first and your comfort and needs! It has not changed! Peter, the owner is his usual pleasant self and a great conversationalist! The first Bungalow i had was the same one i had back in April 2023. Such a well organized bungalow just right for me. But i wanted to try a different one so i was moved to one closer to the dining area like one minute away, haha! It was even better than the one i was staying in. Aircon, microwave, fan, TV with MANY international stations, bed was comfortable and well suited for my needs! I am on a particularly odd diet due to health reasons. So Khun Pai and Isabel (daughter of Peter and Pai who is ABSOLUTELY A WONDERFUL LADY) They saw to it I had just the right foods for my meals. Way far and above that you would expect from ANY other resort! They did not have to care that much BUT they DID!! All the staff were very pleasant although many could not speak English. Cleaning staff were great! They saw when i was at breakfast and then go quickly to clean my bungalow! I always tipped then with Bhat and chocolates! I was there during the rainy season. Isabel brought me an evening meal when it was raining. I had no problems with the 2 bungalows i stayed. Someone was always there to assist or answer any questions. WELL YES! It is in a peaceful setting. Lovely scrubs, plants, flowers with you waking up to the birds singing. Its a Marvelous resort for families, with a pool tool OLD or YOUNG it is a GREAT, GO TO RESORT! I will be back, see i have to go back. Time is limited. Make it a mission to experience SECRET GARDEN You, as i said before, will not regret your stay! Thanks Peter, Pai AND OF COURSE "ISABEL'!

The perfect place to enjoy Thai culture, relax, shop if you want, visit markets, or just sit by the pool & read. Nothing is too much trouble for our lovely hosts Peter, Pai & Isabel.. and all the staff/family. Great location, close to downtown Bo Sang, and near rural community. Our 1st visit was 12 years ago.. and will definitely return.

Second time here and we had an amazing stay with our family (8 year old and 11 year old children). The hotel is just outside of Chiang Mai, and we loved seeing the local area including using the free bikes to ride through the Paddy Fields and to the local Umbrella making factory. It was also cooler outside the city centre. Taxis (Grab) were cheap into Chiang Mai (around THB 150). The hotel is in beautiful grounds and the , pool was perfect to relax by. Izzy and Pai were brilliant hosts and gave us suggestions of things to do. Also the home cooked meals were delicious and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend, especially if you are looking for something a bit different outside the busy city centre.

My family consisting of wife and 2 kids (6 and 10) didn't really want to stay downtown and these beautifully built and landscaped bungalows were just perfect for that. A feeling of being more rural but within quick and easy reach of downtown when wanted. The staff were lovely and the family that runs and built the resort are just so approachable, kind and informative. The food was clearly cooked with love. This is hands down one of the best places to stay in the Chiang Mai area and at a very reasonable price too.

What an absolute warm and hospitable stay our big group had at the secret garden. Isabelle and her family were amazing hosts. The food was very good. We had dinner and breakfast with a variety of both Thai and western food items.
