Scene
Tranquil property meant for relaxing
There isn't much to do at the Lanna Mantra other than relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. The most popular spot at the resort is the infinity pool, which has views of the river and a pleasant mix of shade and sun. Guests can also be found at the riverside Lanna Rimping restaurant, which has parasol-shaded tables right on the banks of the Ping. The resort is frequented by those looking for a quiet escape from the center of Chiang Mai, yet still want access to the city. It draws in a mix of couples and families as it has plenty of rooms suitable for those with little ones or larger numbers, but its priced a bit too high to see a lot of backpackers.
Location
In a quiet and atmospheric spot along the Ping River, but well out of town
The Lanna Mantra Resort is located along the Ping River, a 15- to 20-minute drive on the busy riverside road into the Old City. It's in a residential neighborhood with few restaurants, bars, and shops, although the famous Huan Suntaree restaurant owned by a renowned Thai singer is just up the road. The resort also runs a twice-daily free shuttle into town for those who don't have their own cars.
