I am a Chiang Rai native, and Bambuh grew from a personal decision to slow down and reconnect with the lifestyle I grew up with. What started as empty land has, over the past decade, become a one-acre forest garden that I shaped step by step.
Part of this journey was rebuilding traditional Thai stilt houses and combining them with modern architecture. These wooden houses are part of my heritage, but they are slowly disappearing. Wherever possible, I used reclaimed wood—both to preserve their character and to reduce the environmental impact that comes with new construction.
Bambuh is not designed as a resort, but as a place with meaning behind it. The mix of old and new reflects how I see life here today: rooted in tradition, but adapting to the present.
Over time, friends and visitors kept telling me how much they enjoyed the calm, the garden, and the feeling of being slightly outside the city while still close enough. That is how Bambuh gradually became a place I now share with guests.
I enjoy meeting people from different cultures and keeping things personal but natural. I am not running a hotel in the traditional sense—this is my home, and I try to offer the kind of stay I would appreciate myself: relaxed, helpful when needed, and with space to experience Chiang Rai in your own way.

OUR APPROACH

​Sustainability at Bambuh is not a concept but something practical. Across the property, I try to keep things simple and responsible: we use refillable bathroom products, avoid plastic straws, and rely on energy-efficient LED lighting. Rooms are equipped with ceiling fans in addition to air-conditioning, so guests can choose a lower-energy option if they prefer.
We also source locally where possible and serve organic coffee and tea. Even small details, like bamboo furniture and materials, reflect a preference for natural and renewable resources.
The name Bambuh reflects this way of thinking—bamboo as a material that is strong, natural, and renewable, with a small twist in how it’s written, as I like to do things a bit differently.
