“Welcome to my home.”

"Welcome to my home.", is how we were greated when we arrived at this absolute paradise and that is also the feeling that you get staying here, that you are most welcome guest in a home.
My Wife and I stayed at Fern Paradise in April this year so we could enjoy Song Kran in Chiang Mai, something not to be missed, while celebrating our honeymoon. We'd stayed at quite a few different places on our journey around Thailand and had told each before we arrived that we were honeymooners.
On coming home after our first foray in Chiang Mai we found a beautiful bouqet of roses with a touching note whishing us well in our marriage. This was the ONLY place that actually made an effort to help us celebrate our honeymoon. It is after all the small things that we remember isn't it?
We highly recommend Fern Paradise to ANYONE who is looking for a wonderfully relaxing, enjoyable stay whilst in Chiang-Mai.
Don't miss the Fern Paradise tour as your host will take you through the grounds and share with you his love for his country and his beautiful ferns. It truely is a Paradise.
Thank-you, thank-you, Thank-you Fern Paradise.

“Nice but distant”

We booked the place throught the internet, having read the reviews here.

Fern Paradise is a small paradise indeed, full of exotic ferns and palmtrees. The little cottages are very nice and comfortable, although the bathrooms are very small.

Although we booked for a week, we decided to change after one night due to the large distance to Chiang Mai (about 10km) and poor communication (except for taxi (about 200 - 300 Bht one way)).

It you are looking for a getaway in a little jungle this is t he place for you, but if, like us, you want to explore Chiang Mai with the possibility of going to your room every now and then...we wouldn't recommend it.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Fern Paradise for two nights whilst in Chiang mia this month. I can honestly say that this is the nicest place I've ever stayed. The surroundings are so beautiful and the chalets are amazing.... I only wish we could have stayed longer. Om and his wife are fantastic hosts and they certainly make you feel welcome. It is only a 10 minute taxi drive out of town which makes it convenient too. We look forward to coming back again and have already recommended it to family and friends.

“Lovely Family-Run Oasis”

Just a short trip outside Chiang Mai, it's well worth the cab-fare. This jungle paradise feels so removed from the surrounding city- it's a little escape allowing you to unwind and relax before or after a busy day exploring. The family takes such good care of their guests, and they are a wealth of information. The rice-barn "huts" are so unique and romantic. Excellent breakfasts and great tour of the grounds with the owner. He even provided us with our own fern spores to start at home-
Free internet. We rented a scooter for our 5 day stay and enjoyed the freedom to cruise around the countryside.

Stopped for a few nights at the start of our Thailand trip and felt instantly relaxed from the very start. We stoppped in the middle price range room and found it very comfortable and spacious. Getting into town is easy, Om will call a cab for you and it only costs a few quid.

It's a good idea to stop on the way to the hotel for a bottle of wine or 2 as I'm not sure thay sell any. Breakfast in the mornings is a beautiful affair, the foods Ok but it's the location. Food on the evening is very cheap and very tasty.

Basically you'll love it.
