Horizon Village

About Horizon Village

Horizon Village and Resort is situated amongst a beautiful and elegant Botanical Garden. Its architectural design is based on on Northern Thai / Lanna architecture. The house floor, for instance, is raised high off the ground by several supporting pillars in anticipation of flooding in the rainy season and to provide a place under the house for such work as weaving, carving, and textile dyeing during the dry season. The roof is slanted to provide a run off for rain and hosts the distinct galae from which this Lanna architecture derives its name. An extension of the beams framing the two legs of the triangle forming the roof, the galee is in itself a masterpiece of woodcarving. Some say this obvious protrusion was put in place to scare off crows and ravens believed by superstition to bring bad luck from perching on the roof. Others believe it was installed by the Burmese after their conquest of Northern Thailand in order that houses where Thais resided might be easily identified. Still others hold that the galae is but a logical extension put in place to strengthen the frame and only in latter days was it whittled into an object of beauty and fascination under the craftsman tools. Horizon Village is a place of deep tranquility. It is a great place for guests to take time away from their busy lifestyles. Here you can relax, enjoy and unwind.
