Away Chiang Mai Thapae Resort – A Quiet Vegan Escape in the Heart of the Old City
This is one of those places we genuinely love returning to—now for the second time. Away Chiang Mai Thapae Resort offers a peaceful, wellness-focused stay right in the city center. Even though we’re not strictly vegan, this hotel always draws us back whenever we visit Chiang Mai. There’s something about the atmosphere that allows for true rest—physically and mentally—like a full recharge before stepping back into everyday life.
The location is incredibly convenient, just a short walk from Thapae Gate and within easy reach of the Sunday Walking Street. Whether you’re out for a leisurely stroll, local street food, or some shopping, everything is close by. The hotel itself is thoughtfully designed in a clean white palette, blending simplicity with understated elegance. It consists of two buildings—the original wing that retains its classic charm, and a newer, more contemporary structure—both sharing the same calming and minimalist aesthetic.
Away Chiang Mai Thapae Resort is a charming vegan boutique retreat nestled in the heart of Chiang Mai, just a short stroll from Thapae Gate.
This time, we stayed in the Spa Suite with Private Jacuzzi—a dream for photography lovers. The room is spacious and soothing in tone, styled with contemporary touches and warm furnishings. The bed is incredibly comfortable, and there’s a cozy sofa corner perfect for relaxing or working. The highlight, without a doubt, is the private Jacuzzi on the balcony. Soaking in warm water while overlooking the gentle cityscape of Chiang Mai is pure bliss—and undeniably photogenic.
The resort features two swimming pools, located in both the original and new wings. Each offers a tranquil atmosphere, ideal for unwinding and enjoying a slow, peaceful stay.
The vegan breakfast here exceeded all expectations. Honestly, during our first stay, we didn’t imagine vegan food could be this satisfying—but the hotel delivers beautifully. The breakfast buffet includes both Thai and international dishes made with fresh ingredients. A standout is the customizable cold-pressed juice bar, which feels incredibly refreshing. Dinner is equally impressive, with vegan dishes presented in a fine dining style—beautifully plated yet still light and nourishing. As a fully vegan hotel, no alcohol is served, reinforcing the calm and mindful atmosphere perfect for a truly restful escape.
After this trip, Away Chiang Mai Thapae remains one of the places we’ll always return to when visiting Chiang Mai. From cleanliness and thoughtful service to its convenient location and nourishing cuisine, everything comes together seamlessly. This is more than just a place to stay—it’s a true experience of rest and rejuvenation.
