Bura Resort, Chiang Rai

度假村風景特別曲徑通幽，私密清靜。老闆太能幹了，還周到的來接我們，晚餐做的菜也好吃。早餐在大自然的環境中享受，讓你忘記了生活的煩惱。

mieux que bien mieux que très bien…. les gens , le mieux , la situation frôlent la perfection quant on aime la nature et l’aménagement original et luxueux d’un lieu.

住在原始森林的體驗，老闆會説英文，很熱心

Had such high hopes due to the reviews. The lady at the counter was amazing, she did everything, actually too much and not sure how she handled it all on her own. From check ins, to pick up and drop offs to the airport, organise food, and general managing of the complex, she was brilliant and never hesitated to help. The rooms are big and very nice inside, and the grounds are nice. Unfortunately that's were the good ends. Its run down, feels like a ghost town, restaurant was not good with hardly any choice, breakfast was worse (probably the worse at of our 2 month thailand trip). Its way out, so need a car, its like a ghost town and abanded. It would have been such a good place a while back, but felt like there was no life, it was dead, it was run down, not looked after which is a shame - as it has so much potential.

I picked a place to stay for a couple days, my wife and I needed to get out of the city and get some rest – to many days playing tourist. I found Bura Resort just a short ride out of Chiang Rai, read some of the reviews and took a chance. What we got is a beautiful cottage surrounded by waterfalls and nature. Hannah, the young lady in charge is totally awesome, she is so helpful and she speaks very good English (communication is important). Bura Resort is a great “quiet” place for couples to get some alone time or just escape to. Sitting on my front deck, listening to the waterfall, watching the fish swim around the pond in front of my large cottage we could not ask for more. Short menus in the restaurant, but that is to be expected for an eight-cottage resort – but what they do they do very well! The only issue I have is that when I leave Bura Resort I think I will remember Hannah’s great friendly customer service more than Bura itself. Hannah is the “plus” to our stay. Overall, a perfect place to relax, unwind and just take a few days to enjoy life. Thank You Hannah and Bura Resort! Also – If you like HOT water, they have plenty here!

I booked the waterview room and was so pleased with the size and peacefulness of the room. Upon arriving I was greeted by the very friendly receptionist who guided me and my car to the room. This resort is different than a hotel in that you have separate houses throughout the property. Each house has two rooms, upper and lower. My room was an upper one with an expansive deck on a multi tiered water feature. Upon arrival you could hear the sound of frogs, crickets, and water flowing with the smell of flowers fragrant. From the outside the houses were whimsical in design, a lot of thought went into the design inside and out. The woodwork was beautiful mahogany in intricate designs. Upon entering through the double glass sliding doors the entire corner of the room was windows that provided the most beautiful sunrises over the hills and jungles. The bathroom had a two person sunken tub by the window, and an oversized shower. There was a desk, a large counter, and closet. All lights could be controlled from your bedside at night. Each morning I was there I worked and the staff brought me coffee and breakfast at no charge to my room. Upon arrival I also ordered room service for dinner and ate at the restaurant one evening. Every meal was amazing, and very affordable, not like getting room service in the states. A few areas for improvement would be that the internet was shut off each night and not turned on until 6:30am, making it hard to work as well as using a lot of data on my phone when the internet would turn off. A second area of concern was the lack of ease in connecting with the front desk unless you contacted them through Whats App or Instagram. Multiple times I went to the front desk and would not be able to find help, as well as the restaurant. I do understand that due to covid they are very short staffed and the hotel is not full to have everything fully operational. The grounds are wonderful but showing lots of age. I can imagine how beautiful if was when new and how with some work it can be brought back to it’s original glory. The staff were all very accommodating and friendly. I appreciated so much the attention to bringing food, and even coming back to wine chilled in the evening. Upon going back to Chiang Rai I would for sure recommend this place as a sanctuary to relax. If you are wanting a place to be able to walk around the city this place is not for you as it is out of town about 15 minutes. It is an easy car drive most places.
