The brainchild of an entrepreneur and property developer, Krisdadoi Chiangmai was initially built as a private retreat and dream resort for family and friends. The weekend vacation home, comprising nostalgic European-style country cottages set in the midst of acres of botanical gardens, was soon welcoming a steady stream of guests. By popular request, the private retreat evolved into a boutique resort project - the first of its kind in the Hangdong-Samoeng districts of Chiang Mai.

Known simply as the Krisdadoi Chiangmai, the botanical gardens and the flower park finally opened its doors to the general public. Twenty years later, Krisdadoi Chiangmai remains one of Chiang Mai's unique attractions and a destination resort in its own right.
