About Rayavadee
Setting on the edge of Krabi's National Marine Park at the heart of the stunning Phranang Peninsula perfectly blends lush foliage, limestone cliffs, white sand beaches and the emerald waters of the Andaman Sea. The resort's award-winning architecture and tropical landscapes were inspired by the atmosphere of a southern Thai village.

About Raya Heritage
Inspired by the spirit of Lanna life in former times, the resort concept stems from northern Thai culture’s elegant approach to life and art, and the social value placed on living in balance with nature and the surrounding community. Immersed in tranquil natural surroundings on the banks of the Ping River, Raya Heritage's serene atmosphere makes it the perfect base for discovering the unique charms of the area at an unhurried pace.

About Tamarind Village
A unique and charming Lanna-style boutique property that nestles in the heart of historic Chiang Mai, making it the ideal base for exploring the city’s ancient temples and quaint shopping streets. An oasis of calm and tranquility, the hotel takes its name from a 200-year-old Tamarind tree that shelters it in a shady embrace.
