The Bodhi Serene is wholly managed by the Serene Group of Hotels that also include the Silom Serene, a Boutique Hotel in Bangkok and the Baan Bayan, an Exclusive Beach Hotel in Hua Hin that was awarded the best architectural design in 2005 by the Association of Siamese Architects (ASA) under the Royal Patronage.
The Bodhi Serene Hotel derives its name from the Bodhi Tree that grew on the premises. The name Bodhi is a partial translation of the Sinhalese word 'Bo-gaha' or tree of wisdom because it was the tree under which the Buddha was enlightened. The Bodhi tree attains great size and age; the leaves, which hang from long, flexible petioles, rustle in the slightest breeze. Hence, a stay at the Bodhi Serene is synonymous to a rare enlightening experience of seclusion from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. We will attempt to shelter you and provide a haven for complete relaxation and total rejuvenation from everyday stress-prone life.
The Bodhi Serene is the latest member of The Serene Group of Hotels and is located in Chiang Mai which is just 1 hour by air from Bangkok. It is located within the old city walls of downtown Chiang Mai surrounded by many ancient temples and is a mere 20 minutes from the airport, the train station as well as the bus terminal. It is also visually and architecturally stunning with an exotic Lanna style influenced by Chinese designs.
