Khum Phaya Resort & Spa Boutique Collection

4.4(1,205 reviews)

Set in the relatively peaceful Nong Pa Khrang neighbourhood of Mueang Chiang Mai, this boutique spa resort positions itself as a wellness-focused retreat within convenient reach of the city's malls, restaurants, and tourist attractions. A buggy service connects guests from the main road, and the beautifully landscaped grounds and pool area create a genuinely tranquil atmosphere that many visitors find a welcome contrast to the busier old town area. Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, with pool-access options available, and the staff receives consistent praise for being kind and accommodating. The resort offers spa treatments, a swimming pool, and on-site dining, making it possible to spend a full day without leaving the property. That said, some guests note that food, drinks, and spa services are priced at a premium relative to what is delivered, and a handful of reviews suggest that certain rooms and facilities are showing their age and could benefit from renovation. Good to know: Noise from neighbouring properties has been flagged as an occasional issue, particularly in villa accommodation at night, so it is worth requesting a room away from the perimeter when booking. As opening hours, specific pricing, and a direct website are not readily available online, contacting the resort in advance is advisable to confirm current rates, spa availability, and room types before arrival.

Visitor Reviews

Great resort. Beautiful grounds and entrance. Lovely atmosphere; quiet and relaxing. Comfortable and great facilities. Rooms are big and comfortable (pool access) Staff were very nice and helpful. Swimming pool area is lovely and clean but a bit cold in November. Breakfast is good with good variety. Location is a bit isolated, so taxi / grab required to move around and visit town. They offer shuttle (free) service to town, but just once a day. 7-eleven and other shops in the area. It’s definitely a return.

Located near malls, restaurants and many tourist spots, but still far away enough to avoid the hustle and hustle of old town Staff were extremely kind and accommodating. Theres a buggy service from the reception to the rooms. An in-house cafe is where you have breakfast. The entire area of the resort is built up beautifully. Pool can be easily accessed from all rooms. Best part was that there's beauty wherever you look.

Nice hotel. Nice pool. Rooms are great, bed comfy. We had poolside view which was nice. Food, drinks and spa is massively overpriced. We laid by the pool for an afternoon and would’ve liked to sat by the pool bar to have a snack and drink but they didn’t open it until 4pm which was disappointing. The service and rooms overall are more like a 4 star rather than 5 star hotel and the price was okay for western standards in Thailand but retrospectively I would say it’s also slightly overpriced. Especially cause the nearby area doesn’t have that much to offer.

Tips for Visiting Wellness & Spas

Learn Wat Pho First

Wat Pho in Bangkok is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage education. Their on-site massage pavilion offers excellent treatments from students and graduates at reasonable prices — and you know the technique is authentic.

Communicate Pressure Preferences

Thai massage can be intense. Say 'bao bao' for lighter pressure or 'nак nак' for harder. A good therapist will check in, but don't hesitate to speak up — suffering in silence defeats the purpose.

Book Longer Sessions

A 60-minute massage is fine, but 90 or 120 minutes allows the therapist to work thoroughly. The price difference is often only 200–400 THB for an extra hour — worth it for a deeper, more relaxing experience.
