Raya Heritage is a five-star property in Mae Rim, the green district north of Chiang Mai, on the banks of the Ping River. It lists an outdoor pool, a spa, a restaurant, a bar, a terrace and garden, breakfast included, free self parking and free Wi-Fi, plus a 24-hour front desk, a concierge and luggage storage. An airport shuttle is available for a surcharge per vehicle. Its guests rate it extremely highly for service and cleanliness, with slightly lower scores for location, which is the honest trade-off of staying outside the city.
Location
The Ping River is about five minutes on foot and the Mae Kha Canal about seven. Wat Phra Non is about 15 minutes away on foot, and the Sibsongpanna Khantoke dining venue is a three-minute drive. The Night Bazaar is about 12 minutes by car, the railway station about 20 and the airport about 34. In short, you will use a car for almost every outing, but you will wake up in quiet countryside.
The stay
A riverside setting, included breakfast and attentive service make this a restful choice for couples and for people who have visited Chiang Mai before and do not need to sleep beside the temples. The pool and spa suit slow days, and the terrace and garden make evenings pleasant. For adventure days, Mae Rim is closer than the old city to many outdoor activities in the hills, including ziplines and mountain trails, which can be a real advantage.
Good to know
The airport transfer carries a surcharge, so compare it with a ride-hailing car. If you plan to spend most of your time in old-city temples and the walking street, the daily transport adds up, and an old-city hotel would be more efficient. Rates rise in the cool season and at Yi Peng and Loy Krathong in late November.
Choose Raya Heritage when you want luxury, calm and a countryside setting, and pair it with day trips by hired car or tour. For a similar level of luxury closer to town, compare 137 Pillars House and The Dhara Dhevi.
