A lofty, spacious lobby that also serves as an art gallery sets the tone for this elegant new hotel (opened in 2008) on the banks of the Kok River. Rooms are teak-floored and decorated with a generous use of Thai silk. The resort's own minibuses ferry guests in and out of the town center. Pros: views across the Kok River to Chiang Rai; infinity swimming pool; excellent restaurant. Cons: loud golfers tend to take over the bar.
