The Pool at U Chiang Mai

"The reading room and spa occupy the hundred-yearold former governor’s residence, while some of the rooms – decorated in contemporary Thai style, with daybeds on the balconies, rain showers and iPods – give straight onto the small, black swimming pool"

"The guest rooms, decorated with traditional Lanna-style fabrics and furnishings, overlook a courtyard swimming pool and shaded terrace"

" There's also a small swimming pool, a gym, bicycles that guests can borrow, and a reading room with computers"
