Riverside Pool Villa in Chiang Mai
Natural Villas’ house in the north is a modern 5-bedroom villa on the Ping River in Chiang Mai, about 30 minutes from Chiang Mai Airport and 30 minutes from the Old City. It is inland (there is no beach): you come here for temples, mountains, food and nature, and come back to a private pool by the river.

Best time to visit
The cool, dry season from November to February is the most popular time. March and April are hot and can be hazy from seasonal burning; the rainy season, roughly June to October, turns the countryside green and brings fewer visitors.
