Chiang Mai Mountain Estate

Mae Rim

Mae Rim is Chiang Mai's gateway to the mountains. The main road heading north climbs steadily, offering increasingly dramatic views, cooler temperatures, and lush vegetation. Adventure tourism (ziplines, elephant parks, ATV trails) lines the highway, while side roads lead to quiet villages and hillside properties with panoramic valley views. Noticeably cooler than the city — especially pleasant in the hot season Nature-oriented living: hiking, mountain biking, birdwatching Several boutique resorts and wellness retreats (Four Seasons, Dhara Dhevi nearby) Growing organic farming and farm-to-table dining scene Houses on larger plots: 3–12 million THB. Mountain-view properties with land: 5–25 million THB. Rental houses: 12,000–35,000 THB/month. Land prices increase significantly with elevation and views.
