A Consulate, a River and a Very Quiet Modernism

In 1884 the ruler of Chiang Mai, King Inthawichayanon, granted a strip of land on the Ping to the British government; the consulate that opened there in 1921 still stands in the middle of this resort. Around it the late Kerry Hill laid out something deliberately restrained — long horizontals, teak, water, and a courtyard pool that does most of the talking.

The heritage house now holds The Service 1921, a restaurant and bar built on a tongue-in-cheek secret-service conceit, down to the Morse code signage. The rest of the property is calm to the point of hush, which is startling given that the Night Bazaar and Tha Phae Gate are a few minutes away. The resort was formerly The Chedi Chiang Mai.
