Update on Smog:
Here's a link regarding the smog situation this year.

About Kids @ the MO:
Our kids have been very happy about the Lanna Kids Club at the MO. Lots of very different, distinctively Thai and well organized activities.
Of course, they loved to be picked up by the horse carriage for a change.

You can have a look at the activities as an overview here or see more details about the daily program here.
The rather astronomical charges shown on the detailed program are new. Hopefully, the prices of THB 3500.- per child for the full day program are at least per week, not per day.
I somehow doubt that they will really enforce the charges for guests, because I have so far NOT seen any such nickel and diming activities in the hotel at all.

Staff throughout the hotel are genuine and friendly and will go out of their way to make everything for you and your kids just right. This may start at checkin where our kids were welcomed by staff from the kids club. They were asked about their favourite activities and also shown some of the many options available for them in the resort.
This unobstrusive, but helpfull service continued throughout, for example at the restaurants, where someone allways magically appeared in the right moment to help or bring a little toy to keep them entertained if the parents once again took sooooo long to eat and talk.

We're looking forward to our next visit this summer.
