Kongfang Wilderness Retreat

Mueang Khong · Chiang Dao · Chiang Mai

A hideaway where two rivers meet

Four private villas among the rice fields of Mueang Khong. Buffalo in the paddies, the river at the bottom of the garden, and nothing on the schedule unless you want it. Two hours north of Chiang Mai.

Secure booking through our reservation system.

We found this bend in the river in 2017 and built only four villas, so the place could stay quiet. Mornings start with mist over the paddies. Evenings end with the lamps on, a fire, and the buffalo walking home along the dyke. Come slowly. Stay a little longer than you planned.
