深夜抵達的溫暖驚喜

A warm Late Night Surprise

從機場驅車僅10來分鐘便抵達酒店，這座位于河畔的小酒店守著清雅的夜色仿佛即將睡去，入口的安保室外臥著一條慵懶的小狗，很清邁的場景。安保大叔見有客人下車，立即起身出來幫忙拿行李，憨厚的笑容與粗獷的外表形成一層反差，卻讓人覺得踏實可愛。

前行幾步就是大堂，其實是一座精致的會客廳。前臺姑娘笑意盈盈，雙手合十起身問候，一句溫軟的“薩瓦迪卡”便已褪去旅途一半的疲憊。姑娘叫Tanya，身著民族風服裝，利落的短發(fā)映襯明朗的笑容，輕輕柔柔地為我們辦理入住并介紹酒店設施，還關切詢問了我們的行程并提供了細致咨詢。一切停當，她與管家小伙一同將我們送至客房。

我們住的是以Vorrawut集團現任CEO名字命名的一間公寓風格套房VorraTeera。Vorrawut集團是家族企業(yè)，家庭成員的名字演變?yōu)楦鏖g客房的名字，他們對家的情懷可見一斑。這家40年前創(chuàng)立的集團在現任CEO Terrawut Chanyasak先生的創(chuàng)新引領下，早已從原來的家具制造商發(fā)展為包括酒店開發(fā)、室內裝飾和在線旅游的多元化集團。套房60平的面積正適合雙人下榻?；遗c白的主色調勾勒出簡潔輪廓與藝術格調，陳設精美的餐桌，設施齊全的開放小廚房和落地冰箱告訴你可以在這里享受自助烹調的樂趣。Apple TV， Samsung TV， Molton Brown洗浴備品和Omazz乳膠床墊的應用也彰顯了設施甄選的處處用心，燈光設計也絕非隨意而為，客廳與臥室柔和的隱藏燈帶，餐桌上方流線型水晶燈都映照出歸家般的溫暖光影。

A 10 minute drive took us from the airport to the hotel. This small riverside hotel seems to be falling asleep， and by the entrance of the security room， a lazy puppy was lying down， a tipical Chiang Mai scene. Seeing us arrived， the security immediately got up to help with the luggage with a simple and honest smile. A few steps away is the lobby， in fact， more of a fine living room. The front desk girl greeted us with a gentle \"Sawadika\"， wearing a big smile. She is called Tanya， dressed in national clothing， with short hair and bright smile. She checked us in and introduced us the hotel facilities. She also inquired about our trip and provided a detailed consultation. Everything settled， she sent us to the room with the butler.

We stayed in an apartment-style suite， VorraTeera， named after the name of Vorrawut Group's current CEO. Vorrawut Group is a family business， and the names of their family members are now the name of each room. Their warm feelings for home are evident. The group， founded 40 years ago， has grown from a furniture manufacturer to a diversified group with businesses including hotel development， interior decoration and online travel， under the leadership of Mr. Terrawut Chanyasak， the current CEO. The suites are sized at 60 square meters， suitable for couple. The gray and white colors outline a concise and artistic style. The room is furnished with exquisite dining tables， fully equipped open kitchenette and a floor fridge， so you can enjoy the fun of cooking. Apple TV， Samsung TV， Molton Brown toiletries and Omazz latex mattresses， highlight the carefully selected facilities. The light design is not done lightly， soft hidden lights in the living room and bedroom， the streamlined crystal lamps above the table all remind us the warm lighting at home.

難以忘懷的河畔清晨

An Unforgettable Riverside Morning

一夜舒眠，晨起拉開落地窗，陽光傾泄而入，眼前的湄平河兩岸鋪展開一幅立體風景畫。呼吸清晨第一縷微風，看陽光下藍熒熒的泳池浮光躍金，清邁的一天，未開始已沉醉。

我們去河畔的Vorra Bistro餐廳用早餐。The VorraBitro餐廳是酒店唯一的餐廳及酒吧，供應地道泰國美食和季節(jié)性意大利菜，精致時尚的室內餐區(qū)延展出正對河景的戶外露臺，水色天光一并入畫，我竟看得有些眼呆。于是在晨光里坐定，湄平河從身邊緩緩流過，蝴蝶飛舞清風拂面，耳邊有淡淡音韻在流轉，難以言說的寧靜優(yōu)美開始在心底蔓延。時光仿佛停在了這一刻，這樣的美，這樣的柔軟，不枉我飛越千山萬水，只為來與你相見。

廚師加侍者共有三人為我們服務，用了三層架的水果和糕點來搭配我們選擇的蘭納風格和地中海風格早餐。光看已是秀色可餐，啜一口果汁再抿一口清茶，開始用精美的瓷器和銀質餐具一點點攝取濃郁的泰式風情。詢問中得知，餐廳的泰菜都取材自本地農場，因地制宜且生態(tài)可持續(xù)，經驗豐富的廚師研發(fā)出訂制早餐菜單，無論客房享用還是親臨河畔都倍受賓客青睞。

After a night's sleep， I opened the French window， the sun poured in， the Meiping River shows a three-dimensional landscape painting. Breathing in the first morning breeze， watching the sun shining on the swimming pool， a day in Chiang Mai has an intoxicating start.

We went to the riverside Vorra Bistro restaurant for breakfast. The VorraBitro is the only restaurant and bar in the hotel. It serves authentic Thai and seasonal Italian cuisine. The stylish dining area expands onto the outdoor terrace facing the river. Sitting in the morning light， Maiping River slowly flowing， butterflies flying， breeze blowing， such unspeakable beauty. It is only worthwhile that I flew thousands of miles to be here.

Three chef and waiter served us， with three stacks of fruit and pastry for our choice of Lanna style and Mediterranean style breakfast. We tasted fruit juice， tea and our Thai cuisine with exquisite porcelain and silver tableware. We learned that the Thai cuisine of the restaurant was all taken from the local ecology-sustainable farm. The experienced chefs developed a custom breakfast menu， favored by all the guests from the room and the riverside.

蘭納文化的沿襲與現代風格的交織

Lanna Culture and the Modern Style

酒店的建筑外觀、接待員的服飾、訂制早餐、到隨處可見的清邁風景照片墻，處處彰顯著蘭納文化的遺存。這座700年前的王朝為清邁留下了數不清的故事和古跡，是這座泰北小城身為世界級旅游目的地中頗為幽遠深邃的一筆。而酒店作為通往目的地的一扇門，盡可以通過設計、美食以及為賓客安排的活動來傳承這份引以為榮的歷史和文化。如同清邁城一樣，酒店也是古典與現代交織。除了浸染神秘悠遠的蘭納文化之外，酒店仍主打精致時尚的當代度假風，從前臺、餐廳到客房，無論是音樂、色調、設施和服務，都實現了一切現代化居停的必備功能。你可以足不出戶在陽臺上聽音賞景發(fā)呆，可以在泳池暢游后去Vorra Bistro品一餐地道的泰餐，可以搭乘每日三班的酒店接駁車15分鐘便抵達清邁古城，甚至可以加入這里的烹飪課，或者在酒店人員的協(xié)助下租一輛摩托車去遠足，去清邁創(chuàng)想街區(qū)看一場先鋒設計展……

From the hotel's architectural facade， receptionist's dress， custom breakfast， to the picturesque hotel wall of Chiang Mai， you can see the remains of the Lanna culture everywhere. This 700 years old dynasty of Chiang Mai left countless stories and monuments， this is why a small town in northern Thailand became a world-class tourist destination.
