Raya Heritage
Don Kaeo, Mae Rim district; Mae Rim, Thailand
Raya Heritage places northern Thai craftsmanship at the heart of a quiet riverside stay. In Don Kaeo, within Mae Rim district, the all-suite property sits in gardens beside the Ping River, outside Chiang Mai’s central streets. Handwoven textiles, pottery, baskets and carved wood give the rooms a tactile identity, developed through collaboration with local artisans. Every suite has outdoor terrace space, while selected categories introduce private pools or higher ceilings and their own stairway access. Dining takes place across Khu Khao, Laan Cha Tea Terrace and Baan Ta Lounge & Lawn, creating different settings for meals and quieter pauses. The hotel accepts children aged six and above, a relevant detail for family planning. Its appeal is strongest for travellers interested in design and a slower pace. The craft is integrated into the experience rather than confined to decorative displays, allowing the room and shared spaces to become an introduction to the region’s materials, traditions and contemporary makers.
