Of the vast network of 5-star and luxury hotels dotted around Thailand, there is one property that has been at the top of my hot hotel hit list since I first arrived, 137 Pillars House Chiang Mai. Feted for the striking optics of the authentic teak house at its centre, the visuals of the structure inform the look of the property’s entire estate, creating a tangible atmosphere of old-world glamour that cannot be found or imitated anywhere else in the country.
