This hotel is one of the reasons Chiang Mai is one of my favorite places in the world. I will not forget the hospitality of Dr. Niwat and Om and their family and the breathtaking beauty of the place!
It was such a fun experience with squirrels skimmering all over the place!

Definitely a must-do.

After the hustle and bustle of Bangkok we were ready for a change and we certainly got that with Fern Paradise.

A beautiful place. Accomodation was very unique and pretty yet had all the modern ammenities you need. It is set in such a quiet setting it really was wonderful

The breakfast was very good we had both traditional thai and western breakfasts and they were both very good.

Om was an excellent host - he helped us book a trip to a cookery school and sorted us out with taxi's whenever we needed them. Om's mother even bought my wife some flowers.

I do not understand the point that some people have made about Fern Paradise being far away from the city centre. Surely you knew this when you booked it (it really is only 10mins from the centre)? and secondly we did not find it a problem - we always got a taxi when needed and just arranged with the driver a time for them to pick us up (Patrick was an excellent driver - and had great knowledge of the area - we wished we had more time in Chiang Mai to do one of his tours).

Thank you again to Om and his family for making this one of the many highlights on our honeymoon

Fern paradise really justifies its name. The rooms are individual, the setting perfect and the service superb. The family are very helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We can't wait to return.

My wife and I stayed three nights at Fern Paradise recently and were very impressed with the experience. The architect inspired converted rice barn accommodation was very spacious, whilst still including modern ammenities such as cable TV and DVD. All transport was capably arranged by Om and useful maps and information were provided. The highlight of our stay was Dr Niwat's tour that explained the interesting cultural aspects of his vision in creating Fern Paradise and culminated in a wonderful tour of his remarkable fern collection. As plant lovers we found the ferns amazing and Dr. Niwat was extremely generous with his time and knowledge and even gifted some spores. An unforgettable experience. Thanks very much to the Fern Paradise family.
