Those who have journeyed to Chiang Rai to connect with nature will find a welcoming, tranquil home at Bura Resort. Decks from some of the rooms and the restaurant overlook a rolling waterfall and the flower-covered grounds. Generously sized rooms draw on the nature theme, too, in a way that’s quite unusual: the wooden backboards of the beds sweep up and over the walls in a scalloped and wavy pattern, echoing the look of the curvy built in’s across the room. It’s a stunning effect. Bathrooms are also quite handsome, featuring deep soaking tubs and rainfall showers. The staff are as kind as can be and go out of their way to make every guest feel important.
