This has been the third time I have been to Suan Bua Hotel & Resort, attending conferences there. Each time the conference venue is there, I sigh: not again! When entering the resort, the first impression actually is positive. The large gardens are well planned and well maintained. Not so the rooms. Every room I have slept in had something... More

Great place for a conference where you can spend lots of time with your group. The place if fairly old. The reception desk is THE most unorganized desk I've ever seen. Not professional. We were put in the 3rd floor of an old building where the stairs were uneven. The room was decent and the bed good but after one... More

Suan Bua Hotel and Resort has found it's niche as a conference destination for large NGO's and other regional organizations. I've attended a number of conferences here and recently stayed at Suan Bua with a large women's gathering. The price was right- 2000 baht per person for the entire weekend including three meeting rooms, breakfast both days, plus lunch and... More

We have been to this hotel twice and the last time early 2012 a lot of people, including myself, got food poisoning. Out of 200 people I believe 25% to 30% got food poisoning or a stomach bug. People tell me this has happened before so BEWARE! The grounds are beautiful and the food looks and taste quite good. Just... More

Suan Bua is very relaxing. It's about a 45 minute drive from Chiang Mai city, so don't come here if you want to spend a lot of time around the town. If you're looking for a chance to get away from it all though, the Suan Bua is a great place to consider.

This hotel is about 30mins drive up a winding mountain road from Chiang Mai. It's in a lovely quiet area, with just a little local shop across the road, and a lovely nice restaurant across the road and up the hill. The hotel grounds are absolutely beautiful - gardens, ponds, bridges, gazebos etc. I didn't get to use the pool... More

The Suan Bua is up in the mountains about 30-45 minutes from Chiang Mai city. So, don't come here if you want to spend your evenings in the Night Market area. But, if you're looking for a peaceful getaway, this is a great place to go! The grounds are quite beautiful. The hotel rooms are quite good, though my wife... More

We come to Suan Bua for a conference on alternate years. This was our fourth visit there. The place is so peaceful and beautiful. The spa is very nice and the food buffets are amazing. So many places to walk and sit out around the water. Gardens are beautiful.
