Wondering why "Baan Chiang" ? Simply because it's one of Thailand's cultural heritage and is regarded as one of the UNESCO heritage sites in Thailand 💯✅ หลายคนสงสัยทำไมเราถึงตั้งชื่อรีสอร์ทของเราว่าบ้านเชียง ง่ายๆเลยคือเรารู้สึกผูกพันกับรากเหง้าของวัฒนธรรมและอารยธรรมของดินแดนที่เป็นประเทศไทยในปัจจุบัน #สวิสบ้านเชียง ภูมิใจในความเป็นไทจ
And Fun Fact: our location is also very close to Unesco's Kaeng Krachan Forest complex (only 1hour drive) 🍀
