MY 'HOME' IN CHIANG MAI

The venue for two of the three night while I was in Chiang Mai was the splendid Taraburi Resort and Spa complex. It's located about 10 minutes from the airport and is part of a larger development that will eventually included a gated community and high class shopping village.
The resort has around 24 lanna (northern Thai) style suites and a couple of villas. I had one of the twin suites to myself and it was lovely. The seven people from my company (three photographers, me, my fellow executive manager, her sister and the senior reporter were the only ones staying here because it's not fully up-and-running yet. They are launching it in early October but invited us so their staff can get some experience with real guests.
There was only one criticism and that was the number of insect bites I received despite a liberal dosing of mozzie repellant. I guess the Chiang Mai mozzies are already accustomed to the Boots brand.
I can really reccommend this resort as a base for any trip to Chiang Mai. If you want to see more then check out their website at www.taraburi.com.
