No rooms, just spacious and comfortable suites

The wooden pavilions surprise with contemporary interiors blending indigenous materials with sliding glass doors. Inside, a king-size bed with goose-down pillows and fine silk sheets dominates the chalet. Comfort amenities include a cable TV with a DVD player, a refrigerator, a kettle, a mirrored wardrobe, and an espresso machine for coffee and tea enthusiasts. Additionally, a 25-square-meter bathroom with a separate shower and dual vanities awaits.

Comfort isn’t merely about cutting-edge technology. Katiliya offers Chiang Rai’s most spacious suites, ranging from 90 to 375 square meters. Accommodation options are plentiful—from one or two-bedroom suites to Garden View, Mountain View, Duplex, or Katiliya suites.

Guests rave about the balcony view—the sunrise over the mountains is a spectacle not to be missed.
