Puka Boutique Resort lived up to the other reviews and far exceeded my expectations. This was truly the best hotel I’ve stayed at. The owners are engineers and an interior designer. It was obvious that every building and piece of furniture was built and chosen with care. The rooms are enormous, including the largest shower I’ve ever used. The pool and restaurant overlook the resort’s rice paddy fields. They serve the rice at the restaurant. The meals were delicious and generous. The manager, cook, and staff took very good care of us and made us feel at home. Pi Nong made several tourist arrangements for us and the excursions didn’t disappoint. The resort is about 20 minutes from the center of Chiang Mai, which was exactly what I was looking for. The resort was a serene escape from the hustle bustle of the city but close enough to take a taxi. The only downside I would say is that the wifi connection in the room was not reliable and I would have to go to the reception area to use. Because I wanted to be disconnected from cyberspace, this didn’t bother me very much.More
