This intimate retreat in Chiang Mai, Thailand’s far north, is in a quiet area known by the name of the local temple, Wat Gate. Located on the east bank of Chiang Mai’s Ping River, Puripunn Baby Grand Boutique Hotel is only minutes away from the city’s most famous attractions. These include the Night Bazaar, bars and restaurants, century-old Chinese ‘shophouses’, China Town, Warorot Market, Flower Market and the Old City Wall where the Sunday Market takes place.

A number of accommodation options are available including superior, deluxe and family rooms and baby suites. Puripunn Grand Suite, the top room category, features a sizable swimming pool, living areas, Jacuzzi and his and her washbasins.

Cuisine at the hotel offers various authentic and flavoursome Thai-Lanna dishes as well as popular Western choices and Puripunn Traditional High Tea is a must when visiting. Back in history, the art of taking tea in Thai culture was uncommon. However, taking tea and having a light meal during the afternoon gradually became fashionable among Thai Royal Court and throughout nobility. In order to create the perfect atmosphere, the hotel serves its high tea on Thai hand-painted porcelain with traditional silverware and clear crystal glass plates and servers for a truly memorable experience.
