As its name suggests, Lan Na Wild is located in the heart of a huge forested area. In the middle of the jungle, you can see domed huts with hay-covered roofs, evoking a Bali-esque ambience.

Since it’s in the jungle, you’d be wondering what facilities there are if you wanna sneak a dip into a pool to cool down.

Thankfully, private jacuzzis are provided here, easily accessible on open decks that are perched on platforms overlooking the tops of towering trees.

When camping, you might search for a river or a stream in the woods to splash around in, but your FOMO at this resort is easily resolved with 9 types of rooms for guests.

From spacious huts with outdoor jacuzzis with customisable temperature settings, to two-people rooms for a romantic stay with bae, consider opting for Me and You, Just Us Two at ฿7,000 (~USD212)/night.

Preferably, for those who adore the tent-life, this Onsen Tree Tent, ฿5,000 (~USD151)/night, has two storeys that can house up to four people.

On the second floor, there’s a round-shaped window for you to open and catch some fresh air in the morning.

As for the jacuzzi right in front of the tent, it could be a chill place for the fam to discuss the itinerary for the day, coupled with some playful morning splashes.

For early risers, an early dip in the onsen could mean you’d be working up an appetite quickly. Here’s what the resort offers in terms of food options.

The anchor restaurant at this resort seems to be inspired by traditional architecture, not unlike elevated huts you’d find in Indonesia. The main dining area sits on top of long wooden stilts so that guests will get to enjoy panoramic views of the sunset while dining.

On the ground floor, you’d definitely want to check out the lounge area on the ground floor – just to take in the fresh forest air -before returning back to your rooms.

We’d recommend pairing this view with piping hot meal to complement the cooler climate. La Na Wild’s Hotpot Set goes for ฿500 (~USD15)/set with an assortment of meat and veggies on a platter, and your very own soup pot and dipping sauce.
