Panviman Spa Resort sits in the mountains about an hour by car from Chiang Mai Old Town, surrounded by forest and gardens. It has a shallow pool, a deeper main pool, and a small hot pool, and the grounds are steep enough that guests move around by buggy. The resort is large, and staff drive guests between rooms and facilities when a buggy is requested, while the pool water tends to be cold. There are no restaurants or convenience stores nearby.
