New Place To Stay In Lovely Town Of Chiangmai

New Place To Stay In Lovely Town Of Chiangmai

So i had a chance to visit this beautiful resort a month ago. My friend came over from Bangkok and asked me to escort her around. She stay in this place called Puka Boutique Resort. A very beautiful small Luxury Resort. First it took me about 30mins from Airport to get there. my feeling was like " omg countryside lol... " first thing i was worried is the look of the Resort because i didnt know that there is such a nice pretty Resort in Sunkumpang Area.

We got there about noon and first thing we impress was a very warm welcome from The staff there and a very Unique Welcome drink that got me . no more thirsty lol.

one thing that made me love Puka is the landscape that can take ur breath away. i never see anymore green. one of the reception " khun Nong" telling us about the history of Puka and Puka Boutique resort while taking us to the Villa and about to show us all 6 rooms they've got . ( oh here is what i found on the website www.pukaboutiqueresort.com just so you can read about Pukaboutique Resort)

"Once established for the family's relaxation, Puka is now one of the most fascinating small, private & luxury boutique resorts in Chiang Mai located among villager's way of life. While here, calmness with the various green plants, Longan Garden, rice field and the puka canal will fulfill you to relax. Moreover, we provide you 7 units with different style such as Room, Pongchuk Pissathanporn --designer of The puka who is good knowledge in design field for 10 years and design all the puka boutique resort. The several differences of architectural and interior design have been blended to be Puka Boutique Resort which brings you the memorable vacation. Although closing with villager's life and cannel, here is small, luxury, grand, outstanding plus mostly private also with 7 different types, all made from ancient objects, natural and rustic materials such as the comfortable building developed from the hundred years of a rice barn which the farmer stored the rice before selling in the past to be 6 suite rooms for you resting."
