Our Story

A Botanical Garden Resort for Retreats, Families & Wellness

Dear all readers,

My name is Nant, the second-generation owner of Horizon Village & Resort. I am the one sitting in the middle with my parents in the photo you may have seen.

First of all, thank you very much for your interest in our place. Horizon Village & Resort and Tweechol Botanic Garden are not just businesses to me—they are where I grew up. These places were created with love, passion, and a deep intention from my parents.

Over the years, many guests have asked me similar questions about our place. I believe the best way to introduce Horizon Village is through these questions.

What is Horizon Village & Resort?

Horizon Village & Resort is a unique botanical garden resort in Chiang Mai, Thailand, located within the 115-acre Tweechol Botanic Garden.

It is designed as an all-in-one destination where guests can stay, relax, learn, and reconnect with nature.

Who is this place for?

Horizon Village is ideal for:

• Retreat groups (20–100 guests)
• Families with children
• Wellness and slow-living travelers

How does Horizon Village relate to Tweechol Botanic Garden?

Horizon Village & Resort is situated in the heart of the 115-acre Tweechol Botanic Garden. This means that during your stay, you are fully surrounded by greenery and nature. The two places support each other:

• Resort guests can explore the botanical garden freely
• Garden visitors can also enjoy selected facilities at the resort, such as restaurants and meeting space

Can you describe your place in one sentence?

An all-in-one botanical garden resort where you can stay, experience nature, and reconnect with yourself.

Why is it called “Horizon Village”?

About 10 years ago, my father was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. It was a very critical time for our family.

During his treatment at Bumrungrad Hospital, he was admitted to a department called “Horizon.” After he recovered, this word stayed with him.

He realized that life is like a horizon—a long journey where we all have our own goals. And sometimes, we need a place to pause, rest, and regain our strength before continuing forward.

Horizon Village was created with that intention:
A place where you can truly rest, recharge, and continue your journey toward your own horizon.

What does “Tweechol” mean?

“Tweechol” comes from my parents’ names.

• “Twee” comes from my father’s name, Tweesak, and means “double”
• “Chol” comes from my mother’s name, Chalarng, and means “river”

Together, it represents abundance, flow, and the richness of nature.

What can guests experience here?

At Horizon Village & Tweechol Botanic Garden, guests can experience:

• Accommodation surrounded by a lush botanical garden
• Retreat and meeting spaces of various sizes
• Family-friendly activities and playgrounds
• Cycling and paddle boating
• A petting zoo and garden exploration
• A 100-year-old traditional Thai house
• Lanna cooking classes and cultural experiences
• A Lanna museum
• Herbal, palm, and cactus gardens
• Thai massage and relaxation

It is a 115-acre living garden—there is always something to explore.

🌿 What makes us different?

Unlike traditional hotels, Horizon Village is not just a place to stay.

It is a destination where nature, learning, culture, and relaxation come together—creating meaningful experiences for both families and retreat groups.

💛 Our belief

At Horizon Village, we believe that nature is not just something to see—but something to experience.

We hope to create a place where you can reconnect with yourself, your loved ones, and the natural world.
