Few months after the event but hey. Just want say that The Field Village offered everything we wanted from a quality, professionally run establishment. Ron, Jong - thanks! The room/bungalow was amazing. Attention to detail superb. Location/views - a breath of fresh air from Bangkok. Quick and easy transport to Chang-Mai is essential and a driver was always available. Jong sent us to the best places in town and organised some of the best excursions we went on in Thailand. We really wanted to extend our stay but our flights were non-transferable and to this day I still feel hard done by! Fascinating hotel.

The Field Village is amazing!

Five friends and I traveled to Thailand for two weeks in May and stayed in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Railay and Koh Lanta in various types of hotels/resorts and the Field Village was by far the best. The service from the owner and staff is absolutely incredible!

We were picked up at the airport and taken about 10 minutes to the Field Village, where we were shown to our rooms. The hotel is a cool group of teak wood bungalows with a common pool and restaurant/bar area. The weekend we were there, our group had the hotel to ourself (a benefit of traveling Thailand in the non-peak season), but the hotel staff was still fully available to assist us.

The first night, they opened the bar and we stayed up late chatting with the staff and owner while we drank and swam in the wonderful saltwater, infinity edge pool. The sunsets from this are awesome with mountains in the background.

The restaurant at the hotel provides a great, full-service breakfast and we also ate dinner at the hotel two nights; dinner was even better than breakfast! A great deal and delicious food. One of the nights, the owner, Jong (who is awesome) took us to a bar in downtown Chiang Mai she was familiar with that had great live bands. We were originally going to go to another place, but learned it was very touristy and this place Jong took us was awesome (The Riverside) - thanks Jong!

The rooms at the Field Village consist of teak bungalows with a separate bathroom area. They are tastefully decorated and spacious with a large bedroom, separate dressing area and bathroom. The bathrooms are great with nice, hot showers.

Overall, a great experience!!! I would definitely go back!

We found the Field Village to be a pleasant and relaxing place to stay away from the centre of Chiang Mai. The gardens were full of flowers and overlooked the rice fields and surrounding houses. We had arranged to be collected from the airport on arrival and on our first morning we collected our hire car which we had for the duration of our stay. We had no problems finding our way back to Field Village as there were signs at each junction from the main road. The driving was easy and it enabled us to explore the surrounding areas off the tourist paths and also to get into Chiang Mai in the evening to eat. We arranged to leave it at the airport as we left.

We stayed in 'Orchid' which had a lovely view across the fields and a fine verandah. The bed was very comforable although the room was rather dark and could have done with brighter lights, especially in the dressing area. The bathroom was rather basic and not cleaned to the standard I was expecting after reading other reviews on Trip Advisor.

The pool was a pleasant spot and a meeting place although, at the time we stayed, it looked as though there was a problem with the filter and it was not looking at its best.

Other reviewers have mentioned the 10% service charge but we found this to be the norm at other hotels we stayed at in Thailand. Our only problem was that the taxi we requested to take us to collect our hire car had been added to our bill without our knowledge at a rate set by the hotel and we did not have the option to pay a metered rate.

Yes, there were planes flying low over Field Village but it takes only a few seconds for them to be gone and we did not find them a problem.

The staff at the resort were friendly, kind and helpful and we ate there on our first evening. Jong was very helpful in providing information about places to visit and eat. She showed us round the gardens when she realised our interest. She made us very welcome and nothing was too much trouble.

We were recommended to the Field Village by friends who stayed in the high season. So we were not surprised by the absolute beauty of the place or the incredibly warm welcome we received.
But we knew that there was a high chance of rain travelling in May.
To our surprise it actually improved the stay for us.
Jong was very good at forcasting the daily weather and we hardly missed going anywhere.
But the main surprise came when we realized that
1, We loved tropical rain which is warm and heavy bust usually over within an hour.
2. After the rain the colours and smells are magnificent-so vivid. The mountains in our view sprang out at us
3.There are fewer tourists so no need to book things in advance and everything is cheaper
The Field Village is so well equipped and the catering so good that we often stayed in.
One word of advice we would leave an extra day or two in your programme so that you can see everything and avoid the worst showers
Many thanks to all the wonderful staff who made us feel so welcome that we were sad to leave-we will be back
