The
Rrachamankha
is much more than just a hotel. It is an experience. For the
owners, who are two of Thailand's most famous designers and architects, it
is a creation of love and a treasury of Lanna art and Chinese antiquities,
which can be found in every guest room and throughout the hotel. The
combination of Lanna art and interior design, and the temple style
architecture has created a haven of peace - the kind that penetrates you
and touches your heart. This is an ideal hotel for people in need of rest
and relaxation
Accommodation
There
are 18 Superior rooms, 4 Deluxe rooms, and 1 Two-Bedroom suite. Each
guest room is slightly different because the furniture is antique, and
each piece is different. The door is an old Lanna style door with an
ornate door handle and wooden bolts. The window blind is made from
bamboo , and reeds are used to make the colorful floor matting. The
table lamps are made from Chinese porcelain, and a Lanna lantern with a
tassel that matches the color of the antique wardrobe hangs down in the
center of the room. Even the sink counter in the bathroom is a Chinese
antique. The walls are decorated with dais art from Chan state in
Myanmar. The Deluxe rooms differ from the Superior rooms in that they
are larger (42 m2 compared to 30 m2 ), have a four-pester bed, and look
down onto the main courtyard.
Facilities
The
restaurant is illuminated by large Lanna lanterns, and beautifully
decorated with nineteenth century paintings that describe part of
the life of Lord Buddha on a large cloth that hangs down from the
ceiling. Antique Chinese tables and Ming Dynasty plates are placed
tastefully along the sides of the restaurant. The focus of the
cuisine is Thai, but there is also a large selection of fusion
dishes that combine food, sauces, and flavorings from Thailand,
Vietnam, Japan, and Europe.
Next
to the restaurant there is a small, shady courtyard where guests
can dine out side while listening to old northern Thai music.
The Bar is situated next to the restaurant and is decorated with a
very rare Chinese antique liqueur screen, and lithographs by Henry
Moore, Robert Mother well, and other early twentieth century
painters. The screen shows in gold paint the whole process of tea
production from the bust to the ships exporting the packaged tea
leaves.
Above
the restaurant is the Gallery, shine serves to educate guests
about Lanna culture, and also to provide a meeting room. It is
filled with silverware, lacquer ware, hill tribe jewelry, a
sword collection, an eighteenth century Buddha image, and also
with the post, plates, etc., that were discovered when the hotel
site was excavated.
There
is also a 20-metre swimming pool, which is lined with sun beds and
bougainvillea flowers. The airy Pool Bar offers snacks and drinks,
while the open-air room above provides a massage service.
The
hotel also boasts a library with an internet room; the only hotel
in the north to provide this.
The
service concept is based on the principle of creating a memorable
experience for all guests, and supports the unforgettable feeling
of peace and homeliness created by the hotel's architecture and
design. Overall, a stay at the Rrachamankha is unique
