My family and I (including 2 pre-teen children) had a wonderful stay at Villa Nasara for 3 nights. The houses of Villa Nasara are just as impressive with beautiful and unique antiques everywhere, including outside in the garden. It is clear that every detail inside the houses and outside in the garden has been thoughtfully arranged. The 3 houses plus the antique rice storage house offers a museum experience just walking around looking at everything there. And then there is the garden and the mountains surrounding. There are many different types of fruit trees and flowers and thankfully several places to sit and enjoy the various views, including one that is covered with a traditional Thai roof gazebo overlooking the pond. The boys had much fun in the garden playing on the swing, riding the 2 provided bikes, and playing hide and seek. It was truly peaceful listening to the birds and animals and enjoying the views. Upon arrival, we were met by the gracious caretakers who showed us around. They did not speak English well but they were very familiar with the houses and answered many questions we had by demonstration. Nasara also provided a list of recommended restaurants and sights. There were many more recommendations than we had time for in 3 days. In advance, Nasara had also helped me reserve a van and driver to pick us up from the airport and drive us around during our stay. This was an extra but necessary cost as we would have wasted a lot of time getting lost if we had rented our own car. We explored the 3 most famous sights of Chiang Rai: the Black Temple, the White Temple and Doy Din Dang Pottery. We also enjoyed going into town Saturday night for the Night Market. On the way back one day, we managed to squeeze in a soak for our tired feet at the nearby public hot springs facility and got a traditional Thai massage at the adjacent building. It turned out to be a wonderful cultural experience as well. In general, our time at Villa Nasara was really lovely and a special treat to return to after a day of exploring the area. I highly recommend it for a memorable treat.
