Rachamankha, nestled within Chiang Mai’s ancient city walls, unveils a tranquil haven with temple-like roofs enveloping multiple courtyards. Drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese architecture, the hotel’s simplicity intertwines with sophistication. Colonnaded pathways lead to concealed gardens adorned with a thoughtfully curated selection of antiques, prints, and fabrics, weaving a narrative of local history and culture.

Impeccable attention to detail is evident, from the traditional lime plaster on handmade bricks to the juxtaposition of antique Chinese cabinets and rugs alongside an eclectic array of curios from Asia, Africa, and Europe. This meticulous curation creates an ambiance akin to a timeless heritage home, where modern comforts seamlessly blend with faultless service.

The 25 rooms encircle two serene courtyards, boasting a harmonious fusion of raw silks, antique furniture, contemporary art, and modern amenities.

Dining at the intimate poolside restaurant is a journey through traditional regional cuisine and European staples. For a quiet drink, the library lounge, adorned with deep red columns and filled with history and art books, provides an Old World charm. A massage pavilion by the open-air pool, an art gallery, and a boutique complete the offerings at this enchanting retreat.

Our 2-week trip to Thailand was fantastic! Chiang Mai felt completely magical and Koh Samui was beautiful. We managed to have fun even on the rainy days. Our guides were perfect, very knowledgeable and a lot of fun, with great insights into the local culture. I've been recommending Absolute Asia Tours to all my friends and I can't wait to travel with you guys again! The coordination of everything was very well done.

Our recent trip to China and Mongolia was a great success. Overall we found Absolute Asia Tours services to be excellent throughout the two weeks we were in Asia. For us, Mongolia was definitely the highlight. We thoroughly enjoyed or local guides and drives and they were unfailingly knowledgeable, helpful and amusing. Their languages skills were excellent and we felt that we recieved real insight into this fascinating country. We were intinially drawn to the idea of this trip by the reports of the world class fihing and we were absolutely not disappointed. The fishing guide was first rate and we caught more fish than we could have hoped for - more than 25 each day - with the added bonus of being the only other people in sight for miles arround. AAT created a private ger camp for us on the Onon River and we enjoyed delicious food prepared by our chef in a beautiful unspoled atmosphere. They alo arranged for us to visit a nomadic family and spend time with them at home and organized a dinner with an anthropologist with expert knowledge of the region. AAT fullfilled their promise to tkae us to us to one of the world's best fishing destinations in comfort and style. We would be happy to travel with AAT again and will definitely recommend them to our friends.

Absolute Asia tours gave us a wonderful tour of Southeast Asia (working with sister-agency My Way Travel based in Vietnam). For our Siem Reap/Angkor Wat journey, our party of two had a private driver and guide named Jak, who was a cheerful and knowledgeable companion, explaining the history, culture, architecture and religious significance of the sites while keeping it always fun. We moved efficiently from site to site, and finished with a boat tour of the fishing village on stilts at Kampong Pluk on the Tonle Sap Lake. During most of our trip we stayed at top-notch locally-owned hotels, but in Siem Reap we were at the excellent local Hyatt hotel. Absolute Asia and My Way Travel our outstanding local providers, less expensive than name-brand group tours, and customized to our interests and schedule.

We had an awesome time on cycling tour with AAT! It was incredible, filled with good vibes, laughs & a fantastic way to explore Vietnam & Cambodia. Tony our guide made it special by introducing us to locals and showing us the real charm of these countries. The whole tour was well-organized & the way they took care of us awesome. It's an unforgettable trip and I'll definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of Southeast Asia.
