A pompous title to the review but then I am a lawyer! Seriously, this is a very unusual , and delightful place. My wife and I stayed for a week at the end of October and had no real plans before we arrived. We had come to Thailand for a wedding in Chang Mai and wanted somewhere as a base... more

We stayed 6 nights in early October and the grounds and villas are charming. As mentioned by others it is a bit out of the city and has no shops etc in walking distance. That said we hired a car for a very reasonable rate (new Honda civic @ 1200Bt a day) and I would recommend car hire to anyone... more

We have just concluded our four night stay with Peter and Pai at the Secret Garden in Chiang Mai.

We called him on arrival at the station and... more

I have been meaning to write this review ever since we returned from a wonderful holiday to Thailand. My husband & I & our 4 children all loved the Secret Garden. We have 3 young children (4,5,6) & one teenager & all were well catered for. Pai & Peter are such gracious hosts - nothing was ever too much trouble... more

we stayed for 7 days out of our 3 week holiday in tailand and the stay with Peter and Pia was one of the highlights of our trip. Yes it maybe out of town but l think this is what makes it so good Peter goes out of his way to nigate an issues with the fact that you may... more
