Rimping Village is boutique hotel in Chiang Mai, located in the peaceful and leafy Wat Gate community on the east side of the Ping River. Built in 2005, the hotel near Chiang Mai night market, was designed to blend with its surroundings and to pay homage to the history of the community which centres around the ornate temple.
Wat Gate community was formerly an important trading post where boats landed from Rattanakosin (Bangkok) in the late nineteenth century. Today Wat Gate Museum preserves local artefacts from this era and there are still a number of buildings to explore in the neighbourhood that display a mix of local and international architectural styles to reflect the settlers.
Rimping Village adds to the essence of the location, by designing its hotel in a certain style that perfectly suits the architecture in the surrounding area. Several local designs were adopted including the shape of the roof, the walkway slabs, Lanna-style doors, and especially the walls which are created at the appropriate height, details which unite the hotel with the community. Our simple and comfortable boutique hotel offers 34 rooms and excellent facilities, delivering a comfortable and community feel while still offering everything you desire for a perfect holiday in Chiang Mai.
