Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions from prospective guests and their families.
What is included in the Weekend Retreat?
The Weekend Retreat includes two nights in a private room with en-suite facilities, all meals featuring locally sourced Thai cuisine, organized activities such as morning tai chi, nature walks, a Thai fruit carving demonstration, and evening music. A personal host is assigned to each guest for the duration of the stay.
Is this a medical care facility?
No. Chang Haven is a non-medical residential retreat. We provide a comfortable and socially engaging living environment for independent seniors. We do not offer medical or nursing services, though we can help coordinate with local healthcare providers if needed.
Can family members visit?
Absolutely. Family members are welcome to visit, and our Annual Community Membership includes accommodation arrangements for visiting family. For shorter programs, we can recommend nearby guesthouses and help coordinate visits.
What languages does the staff speak?
Our team includes staff members fluent in English and Thai, with additional language support available. We strive to make communication comfortable for all guests regardless of their background.
How do I get to Chang Haven from Chiang Mai city?
We are located along the Mae Rim-Samoeng Road in the Mae Rim district, about 30 minutes from Chiang Mai city center. We can arrange pickup from the airport or city for arriving guests. Detailed directions are provided upon booking confirmation.
What are the payment terms?
The Weekend Retreat requires full payment at the time of booking. The Seasonal Residential Program is billed monthly, with the first month due upon arrival. Annual Community Membership is billed monthly with a one-month advance. We accept bank transfers and major credit cards.
Is it possible to try a shorter stay before committing to a longer program?
Yes, that is exactly what our Weekend Retreat is designed for. Many of our seasonal and annual residents started with a weekend visit to see if the community felt right for them. We encourage this approach.
