| Overview |
|
The Rachmankha is much more than just a hotel. It is
an experience. For the owner, who are
two of Thailand's most famous designers
and architects, it is a creation of
love and a treasury of Lanna art and
Chinese antiquities, which can be found
in every guest room and throughout the
hotel.
The combination of Lanna art and interior
design, and the temple style architecture
has created a haven of peace – the kind
that penetrates you and touches you
heart. This is an ideal hotel for people
in need of rest and relaxation.
The design of the hotel is taken from
the viharn (chapel) of one of Thailand's
most beautiful of temples, Wat Phra
That Lampang Luang in Lampang province,
which is why the hotel look and feels
like a temple.
The hotel is planned according to ancient
principles of Chinese architecture because
the architecture and interior designer
want the hotel to reflect the Chinese
roots of Thai architecture. The interior
design is based on northern Thai Lanna
culture, which is a of Chinese, Dai,
Laotian, Lua, and Burmese culture.
This accounts for why the hotel is full
of Chinese antiques and exemplifies
the art and architectural features of
all of these cultures. Altogether, the
hotel is a cultural masterpiece. |

an old Lanna style door with an ornate
door Handle and wooden bolts.
The window blind is made from bamboo,

:
The restaurant is illuminated by large
Lanna lanterns, and beautifully decorated
with nineteenth century paintings that
describe part of the life of Lord Buddha
on a large cloth that hangs down from
the ceiling. Antique Chinese tables
and Ming Dynasty plates are placed tastefully
along the sides of the restaurant. The
focus of the cuisine is Thai, but there
is also a large selection of fusion
dishes that combine food, sauces, and
flavorings from Thailand, Vietnam, Japan,
and Europe.
 
Next to the restaurant there
is a small, shady countryard where
gusts can dine outside while listening
to old northern Thai music.
The Bar is situated next to the

very rare Chinese antique liqueur

of tea production from the bush to
the ships exporting the packaged tea
leaves.

Lanna culture, and also to provide
a meeting room. It is filled with
silverware, lacqueurware, hilltribe
jewellery, a sword collection, an
eighteenth century Buddha image, and
also with the post, plates, etc.,
that were discovered when the hotel
site was excavated.
