Hotel review: “Chiang Mai, Rachamankha”



Rachamankha was also designed by Ong-ard Satrabhandu; one of the Thai famous architects.
Apart from this place, his well-known designs are Tamarind Village in Chiang Mai
and Panapan School at Ladpraw area.
But Panapan School has been demolished and became an international store “Carrefour”at these days.
Don’t be surprise if these kinds of things happen in Thailand all the time.
Before it would be demolished, there’re a lot of issues of restoring the old buildings in Thailand.
But how old is it? This is the big question and a long conflicts in Thailand so let it be another story in here.
Rachamankha is the place that not welcomes children under 12.
I was upset at the first place but after having dinner there once
with Kanchit and Magga when he was 2.5 years.
I realized why they have this rule.
First, their design is so calm and decorated with precious breakable stuff
that I would sell my house to buy them back if something happen because of Magga.
Second, their atmosphere is so quiet to hear only your breath.
When Magga was screaming for being so happy to see things around,
Kanchit and I almost bit our tongues
and you know how hard it is to make little one stop from being too excited.
So I recommend Tamarind Village for family with children
and want to stay in a very unique design like Ong-ard Satrabhandu’s work.
