PASSA Tea Plantation @ Mae On

PASSA Tea Plantation @ Mae On carries the strongest cleanliness score in this entire batch of properties — 9.8 out of 10 — inside an overall rating of 9.3 from 93 reviews. Opened in 2023, this five-star resort sits 31.0 km from the Old City centre and 33.8 km from Chiang Mai International Airport, genuinely out in Mae On's tea-growing countryside. Uncle Kham has always said the drive out to Mae On is worth it just for the air alone; a stay built around an actual tea plantation takes that a step further.

Getting to PASSA Tea Plantation @ Mae On

This is a real journey — 31.0 km to the Old City and 33.8 km to the airport mean a car is essential, winding out through San Kamphaeng and into Mae On's hills. Free WiFi is available once you arrive, and daily housekeeping and laundry service are both confirmed among the guest-loved highlights, genuine comforts for a longer countryside stay. Air conditioning runs throughout for the warmer afternoons.

Rooms & What to Expect

Three room types are on file, each with its own character. The Deluxe Double, 31 square metres with a king bed, and the Deluxe Room Twin Bed, also 31 sqm with two single beds, both look out over the surrounding hills — practical, comfortable bases for exploring the tea fields by day. The standout is the Pool Villa, a generous 200 square metres with its own pool view — genuinely rare for a property this far into the countryside, and the room Uncle Kham would point most couples toward if the budget allows.

Amenities & Facilities

The amenity list here is understated on paper, but the review scores tell a different story — this is a property where the fundamentals are handled with real care rather than padded out with extras. Daily housekeeping and laundry service both feature among what guests loved most, and air conditioning keeps every room comfortable through the day.

What's Nearby — Temples, Markets & Local Life

San Kamphaeng Hot Springs is the standout nearby attraction at just 720 metres — a genuinely relaxing stop after a day spent walking the tea plantation. Three cooperative reservoirs sit within a few kilometres: Reservoir Cooperative Plot 6 at 2.16 km, the Ban Sahakorn 3 Reservoir at 2.71 km, and Reservoir Cooperative Plot 5 at 3.58 km, all worth a quiet visit for anyone who likes water without the crowds. Tad Mei Waterfall, 3.9 km away, rounds out the natural attractions in easy reach. For the city's classic sights, Chiang Mai Night Bazaar is 29.73 km off, Art in Paradise 30.04 km, Tha Phae Gate 30.37 km, Wat Chedi Luang 31.09 km, and Wua Lai Walking Street 31.12 km — realistically a full day trip rather than a casual outing from this base.

Dining

No specific on-site restaurant is confirmed, which fits the countryside plantation model — many guests treat meals as part of the wider Mae On exploration, with San Kamphaeng's own small local kitchens within a short drive.

Other Hotels Nearby

Tharnthong Lodges, 4.2 km off, offers a four-star alternative at 8.8/10. WakumiCafe and Homestay, 5.2 km away, rounds out the group at 4.5 stars and 9.3/10 — all genuine countryside alternatives worth cross-checking.

Guest Reviews

The numbers here are consistently excellent. Cleanliness leads at 9.8 out of 10 against a city average of 8.9 — the widest gap of any category in this batch. Value for money follows at 9.4 versus an average of 8.4, and facilities at 9.4 against 8.8. Staff service scores 9.5 versus a 9 average, and location, at 9.3 against 8.1, reflects how much guests value the tea-plantation setting itself despite the distance from the city.

Good to Know

Check-in opens at 14:00 and check-out is due by 12:00. Having opened in 2023, PASSA Tea Plantation @ Mae On is still young enough that every room feels genuinely fresh — and the near-perfect cleanliness score above backs that up.

PASSA Tea Plantation @ Mae On isn't for guests wanting the Old City within reach. It's for those chasing tea-field mornings, a genuine pool villa, and a review record that's hard to match anywhere else in this batch.
