Satrabhandhu chose the unassuming architecture of the
centuries-old vernacular Chinese dwellings, a carefully orchestrated
sequence of courtyards as a source of inspiration. The architecture
and landscape design of Rachamankha celebrates local Lanna historical
heritage, climate and traditional building practices of the Northern Thai region. Southeast Asian architecture defines the character
of the hotel, which is full of delightful surprises, a studied composition
of light and dark, open and closed outdoor spaces to achieve a true
sense of place that expresses serenity and mystery.
