The new Visama Explorer Nan in northern Thailand: glamping comfort in a serene off-the-beaten-track location.

The new ecolodge, the latest project by VHG Hospitality Asia, has been conceived, developed and inspired by the company’s commitment to the 4Cs of regenerative travel: conservation, community, culture and responsible commerce.

The camp aims to work closely with local staff, artisans and suppliers, embedding community involvement into daily operations. Guests are being invited to participate in experiences beyond the tents, such as tree planting, workshops, hiking, cycling and visits to nearby temples and waterfalls.

“Our aim at Visama Explorer Nan is that every journey leaves a positive impact,” says VHG CEO and co-founder Willem Niemeijer.

Mountain and creek view tents

For accommodation, the new property features eight spacious, air-conditioned tented suites, each with plush bedding, an ensuite bathroom, and a private deck. All safari tents are 36 sqm (388 sq ft) plus an additional 12 sqm (129 sq ft) covered veranda. There are two categories: Mountain View and Creek View.

Tents are fitted with king-sized beds, hot-water rain showers, safe deposit boxes, refrigerators/mini bars, toiletries, French press coffee, kettles, and Wi-Fi.

Outside the tents, teakwood, bamboo, and orchids line the property’s paths. Nearby hiking trails offer mountain and river views juxtaposed by mature indigenous forests. Waterfalls offer refreshing swims after hikes. Further afield, Nan is known for its unique temple aesthetic.

“We want to protect the forests and wildlife of Nan Province,” says Niemeijer. “Beyond the environment, Visama Explorer Nan is committed to respecting local Thai Lue hilltribe traditions and supporting artisans and producers. We believe travel should deliver social and community value for both guests and hosts,” he says.

Visama Explorer Nan is an 80-minute flight from Bangkok, followed by a two-hour road transfer through impressive hill scenery. Guests can choose direct, nonstop transfers from Nan Airport. Or a Transfer Plus option with a guide offering pre-defined stops and alternative routing on the return leg to the airport at Nan. There are two AirAsia flights and one Nok Air flight daily to Nan from Don Muang International Airport (DMK) in the Thai capital.
