Khum Rak Kaew - An Antique Hotel in Chiang Mai
Filed under: Chiang Mai — admin @ 3:20 pm
The limitless imagination mixed with the charm of the city of mist. The embrace of a fresh stream and the fragrance of wild flowers come together to create a place of beauty.
By the No.23 kilometer marker on Mae Rim Samoeng Road passing Doi Inthanon. Khum Ruk 
Kaew lies on tour rai of beautiful hillside surrounded by a big wooden fence that attracts the eye at first glance.
Roses of all sizes and numerous flowers blossom together and the moss covered roof set the atmosphere for this place. All eight barns and 300 ox-carts are transformed into Northern-style residences including Ruan Somporn-Uthai, the main house. And Ruan Pum, Ruan Pap, Ruan Por and Ruan Rarin. The smaller houses. When my mind down and my eyes see the details, the a
mazing scene unfolds in front of me.
Every corner and every nook and cranny is tastefully decorated with valuable ancient pieces and every single one reflects the charm and enchantment of the people’s way of life, thoughts and local culture. Khum Ruk Kaew is like a paradise for those who love antiques. The only question is how mush time will be necessary to experience and appreciate all the art at Khum Ruk Kaew.
Dr. Somporn Ragrachagarn, the creator of this resort tells us how she began collecting antiques. 
She came across a small house owned by a merchant and was so impressed by it that she asked the merchant to build another like it.
Although the merchant had no experience in architecture, she trusted him and ended up with this beautiful place. After that, she fell in love with antiques because of it’s limitless imagination and principles. Therefore it is not surprising that Khum Ruk Kaew has become as unique and special as it has. Not only is the location interesting. But the food is also.
From the look in Dr. Somporn’s eyes, filled with passion for ancient art, and smiles from the cook, as everyone enjoyed their meal, made me realize that “Only passion is enough to create wonderful things Khum Ruk Kaew Resort is full of passion, happiness, and beauty. Maybe 
because of its charm and enchanting atmosphere, time cannot ruin or reduce the value this place.”
