Welcome to Coolwinds Cottage

Relax, renew, reflect…

Nestled in the leafy village of Ban Sunlomjoy, in the cool foothills of Doi Suthep is Coolwinds Cottage, a cosy traditional Lanna style teak guesthouse.

Although only 15 minutes from Chiang Mai old city, the cottage seems a tranquil world away. It is surrounded by lush vegetation, overlooks a beautiful lake and is just a short walk away from various hiking trails into the jungle.

Nearby Wat Phrathat Doi Kham
Welcome to Coolwinds Cottage!

In just a minute’s walk you can enjoy views of the two local Wat Phrathat, (Doi Suthep and Doi Kham) which are both revered Buddhist mountaintop temples with chedis which it is believed enclose holy relics of the Lord Buddha. Both of these are reachable within 20 minutes by motorcycle and offer stunning views across the city.

Nearby (approx 20 mins walk) is the trendy area of Suthep, where you can while away the hours by enjoying the abundance of local coffee shops, eateries, artisan galleries and studios. You can also engage in a multitude of creative activities at the nearby ‘Ban Kang Wat’ artist’s hamlet.

Come join us here at Coolwinds Cottage for a night, a week, or longer…

The cottage through the ages…

Coolwinds Cottage was first constructed approximately 30 years ago and has survived in great condition to this day. This is due to the traditional (tried and tested) architectural design and robust materials and construction.
