Lanjia Lodge

The Lanjia Lodge, ('Lanjia' means ‘peaceful’ in the Hmong language), is an eco-friendly community-based lodge nestled high on a hill in Chiang Rai Province, northern Thailand, just 30 minutes from the Thailand-Laos border crossing.

Lanjia Lodge offers comfortable accommodation in a Hmong village, combining experiences of Hmong culture with eco-friendly tours such as hiking and Hmong batik class.

Offering dramatic views of the Mekong Valley and Laos, the lodge has 4 guest cottages with a total of 16 rooms.

It is built in complete harmony with the lush green environment as well as the Hmong and Lahu villages in which it is located.

Rooms at the lodge are fan-cooled, with comfortable mattresses on the floor and private bathrooms.

This 2-night Lanjia Lodge Hmong Village experience is a great way to come into contact with hilltribe culture and encounter a completely different way of life at first hand.

Is this a Private Tour or a Group Tour?

All of our tours are private tailor made itineraries, customised for you - we can amend things to entirely suit you.

You will have your own private car, driver and guide on excursions on our Thailand tours. This particular Lanjia Lodge experience includes activities on a join-in basis from the lodge.

What are the departure dates?

Let us know your preferred dates of travel and we will find the best and most suitable flights to fit your itinerary.

As this is a private tour, there are no set departure dates.

Which Airlines do you use?

We work with all the major airlines flying to Thailand.

Typically for Thailand, Thai Airways, EVA Air, British Airways or Singapore Airlines would be airlines we most often use as well as Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways.

However, just let us know your preferred airline if you have one. We can organise flights from any regional destination in the UK.

Thai Airways, EVA Air and British Airways fly directly to Bangkok.

Which Hotels do you use?

We're careful with our choice of hotels, but we're guided by our customers also. If you have some preferred hotels, just let us know.

We specialise in boutique hotels and so we will often suggest some of our favourite smaller hotels where we think these will be suitable.

We keep on top of hotel developments in Bangkok from our office in Vietnam and regularly inspect the hotels we use.

We've been sending customers to Lanjia Lodge for many years and it's one we strongly recommend. As part of the Asian Oasis collection it's a very well-run operation.
