  • 4/5 John K. 4 months ago on Google • 284 reviews
    This was my second visit to this place, the first being 5 years ago. The museum was interesting, with most exhibits being described in both English and Thai. The largest "house" has exhibits from the different regions of Northern Thailand set in an amazingly beautiful feat of architecture. Unfortunately no photographs were allowed inside this building. The gardens are beautifully landscaped, and nicely shaded. Surprisingly few people were there, considering it is only 7km from the clock tower area. An easy scooter ride. I did feel it was overpriced though, at 200 thb, basing this opinion on the fact that I have traveled extensively in thailand going back 20 years and have visited many museums and national parks for comparison. Worth a visit though, despite the high price.

    200th fee par person, for only 2 houses to visit (one exhibition on the teck wood work, and one on différents objects of Lanna). The place is like abandoned except this 2 houses. But it's around a lake, and had a lot of shade. If you are just near the place, you can come, but else no need to specially come.

    If you like art, history and culture, this a place you definitely don’t want to miss. But even for its beautifully landscaped gardens, elegant architecture and impressive pieces of art from the Lanna period of Thai history, this is a highlight of any visit to Chiang Rai. It takes about 15 mins by taxi from town centre to get there. Quite surprised to be the only visitors there.

    We had a great visit to Rai Mae Fah Luang. The collection of different Northern Thai architectural pierces and Buddhist interior pieces were very interesting. Also, the grounds and gardens are beautiful. There is also art and modern art installations to enjoy, including an oil painting collection, and teak wood wing. It’s in a very peaceful setting and worth a visit.

    Located kind of on the middle of nowhere, these set of buildings with attached lake and gardens are quite large and pretty. Note that it's best not to go when it's raining heavily or at least bring an umbrella to move between the main buildings. Only one location does not allow photos inside. 200 baht entry

    Truly worth visiting. My advice buy some food and have a picnic lunch on the beautiful park grounds it's truly such a peaceful place. The 2 museum's are well labeled or have a bilingual guide. The grounds are spotless and best of all you can walk on the footpaths peacefully no scooters and food carts and with that no garbage.

    Certainly worth visiting if you like parks and culture. You get to see some fascinating works of teak wood, including candle-holders that were used in the past. Unfortunately, you can't take photos of these art pieces inside the museum. However, it is still worth visiting. The area was empty when we visited and could casually stroll through the dense thickets of bamboos and other trees.

    “Park of Peace Beautiful like Lanna.” Mae Fah Luang Farm is located on a flat area west of Chiang Rai city. It was once a training ground for hilltribe youth from villages in the northern region. Today it is a delightful arts and culture park with many different kinds of trees. Ideal for those seeking peace, quiet and inspiration from nature. and local arts and culture. The 150 rai area of ​​Mae Fah Luang Farm is a showcase of art, culture, music, drama, and is also suitable for holding various types of receptions. Meetings, seminars or traditional northern rituals in the midst of a peaceful and sacred atmosphere. Ticket for Thai 100THB and foreigner 200 THB

    🥳RECOMMENDED😎 Entry is 200b. We stopped here for a walk within the park for 1h hour and…. It is just beautiful ! The nature first is amazing, it’s all about beautiful trees, flowers, and other species around. It is very quiet and you’ll appreciate the shadow under the plants while walking in the forest or next to the baby lake. The you can just stop by the coffee shop to get a cup, an ice cream and relax 😎 You also have the museum to look at old pieces of the local ways of living, make out of Tek tree. It s a very nice place to stop and enjoy recharging batteries !🔋

  • 4/5 Shirish S. 6 years ago on Google
    Very nice place. Two entrances closed. Finally one local guy came on motor bike to help is to show the entrance. Bit overpriced with 200 Baht entry fee. However gardens are good, staff is nice, some old culture. 200 years old Buddha images made from teak wood. Everything here made in teak. Don’t be in hurry. Bring your food spend time with nature.

  • 4/5 Stanley D. 5 years ago on Google
    The 200 baht entry fee seemed a bit steep initially, but the teak buildings and artworks were incredible and well worth seeing. We didn't think the park itself was that nice, but mainly because we visited in April when everything's very dry and brown.

    (Translated by Google) Let's go in and see it, it's pretty good. Travel to gain knowledge and appreciate nature Open Attractions Map Can go follow the map If wanting to gain in-depth knowledge, ask the staff who supervise the area to gain more detailed knowledge Most of the places have glass towers and gilded towers, so try visiting them. The park is quite quiet, not many tourists. Overall, personal is good. (Original) ลองเข้าดูมาแล้วสวยดีครับเป็นแบบตามรอยประวัติศาสตร์ ท่องเที่ยวได้ความรู้และชื่นชมธรรมชาติ สถานที่ท่องเที่ยวเปิดMap ไปตามแผนที่ได้เลยนะครับ ถ้าอยากได้ความรู้เชิงลึกต้องถามพนักงานที่ดูแลบริเวณนั้นจะได้ความรู้ละเอียดขึ้น สถานที่หลัก ๆ มีหอแก้ว กับหอคำ ลองไปเยี่ยมชมดูนะครับ อุทยานค่อนข้างเงียบนักท่องเที่ยวไม่เยอะมาก โดยรวมส่วนตัวดีครับ

    We loved it! Go before the end of April when the 200 baht entrance fee gives you so much more (and it’s good value already). The Biennale exhibition has some incredible musical and architectural installations. So much nature and culture to see and enjoy. We spent 3 hours here and would happily go again in a different season.

  • 5/5 Castro R. 3 years ago on Google
    Although the people might mistaken this place with Doi Tung, they are all under the project and patronage of Mae Fah Luang, the art and cultural park is in Chiang Rai City, a bit out of skirts. If you want to have a pure "thainess" experience, this is the place. Secluded location, the trees and careful crafted gardens, takes you to the heart of this unique Thai country that we love. When you start driving inside the park, seems to be "another park", "another view", another lake, but no... there are two beautiful hall-pavilions, large, one with a permanent gallery and changing exhibitions and another one, with lanna kingdom memorabilia. Last but not least, you will find a lot of unique spots to take beautiful photos and very detailed information provided by the carers and well trained staff that will provide you with all information needed. It is a quiet place, slow motion, to enjoy and walk around. Need to spend, if you like art and nature, a couple of hours to visit. Enjoy it and dont miss it!

  • 3/5 andrew m. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice enough but not really sure the point of it all. Seemed more like a vanity project without real connection to subject or place. Would make a wonderful place to get married indeed it felt more like a wedding venue than museum/art park. Without your own car it’s not walkable from town. Grab costs about 100b.

  • 5/5 Monica Z. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Sairah R. 6 months ago on Google
    Beautiful park, so quiet and peaceful, we were basically the only ones there at 4pm on a Saturday. We didn't have to pay for any tickets and there was a guide at Haw Kham who took us round and explained the exhibits to us. Great insight into Lanna art and culture. Wheelchair accessible for the most part, though not the Haw Kham.

    (Translated by Google) You don't have to see it for an entry fee of 200 baht. Large facility with lots of nature. Very quiet. Partly not well cared for. I also don't see any gardeners here ?! 💁‍♂️ The highlight is the teak building with exhibits in the middle. (Original) Muss man für 200 Baht Eintritt nicht unbedingt gesehen haben. Große Anlage mit viel Natur. Sehr ruhig. Teilweise nicht so gut gepflegt. Ich sehe auch überhaupt keine Gärtner hier ?! 💁‍♂️ Das Highlight ist mittig das Teakholz Gebäude mit Ausstellungsstücke.

Beautifully and very privately, for all the time I was there, only three people met. You can feel like in a fairy tale: among this beauty. Unique place. An admission fee of 200 baht is fair, because it is a huge territory that needs to be supported. (Original) Это одно из красивейших мест Таиланда. Мы обошли этот парк на два круга.
