Chiang Dao Onsen Resort

Luxury Onsen Resort, Wellness Center and Organic Fram
In the heart of Northern Thailand, just 1.5 hours from the international airport in Chiang Mai, is the natural area known as Chiang Dao, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Known for its forest covered mountains, cool climate, elephants, hot springs and natural beauty, Chiang Dao is the undiscovered gem of northern Thailand. Artists, hobby farmers and those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of Thailand’s second largest city have made Chiang Dao their home for decades. Comically close to the city but worlds away in reality, this is the most convenient natural escape for city dwellers. Covering approximately 13 hectares, this rare site encompasses an entire forested river valley with lakes, natural hot springs, an organic farm, teak tree plantation and expan- sive mountain views. Using high quality natural materials, intelligent-modern design and a deep understanding of the site we will create a world class, luxurious, onsen resort, spa and wellness re- treat. With a conscious effort towards sustainable design and technology, a commercially viable and pragmatic approach will be taken to its adoption and implementation. This luxury resort, multiple F&B facilities, organic farm, wellness center, fitness facilities and private natural onsens for the guests. Complimenting the private onsen resort will be a separate, public, day-use onsen and restaurant. This will be the first, most luxurious and sophisticated natural onsen resort in the Kingdom of Thailand, targeting both domestic and international guests.

Who I Am

Jason M. Friedman, a native New Yorker with over three decades of experience in the hospitality industry, is the managing Director of J.M.Friedman & Co., a leading hospitality consulting firm specializing in the development and management of small luxury hotels. Having worked across Asia with esteemed brands such as Four Seasons, Raffles, Amanresorts, Rosewood, InterContinental, and independent properties like The Siam and Qualia Australia, Jason offers a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the field.

J.M.Friedman & Co. was born out of a demand for consulting and advisory services for the development and operation of small luxury resorts and tented camps in S.E. Asia. The company's inception was prompted by designer Bill Bensley, who, in November 2015, approached Jason with the idea of setting up a consulting company. Bensley sought Jason's support for various projects, building on their established working relationship of almost two decades, during which they successfully opened The Four Seasons Tented Camp and The Siam Bangkok.

Three months later, J.M.Friedman & Co. was established and quickly secured contracts to build and advise on hotels for notable brands such as Rosewood, Shinta Mani, Phu Chaisai, Kudanil Explorer, Aqua Expeditions, and El Secreto Belize. Over the years, J.M.Friedman & Co. has proven its worth as a successful consultant and representative for the development and ongoing operations of small luxury hotels, tented camps, and ships.

As a graduate of Cornell University with a Masters of Management in Hospitality and a Bachelor of Science Degree from Lewis and Clark College, Jason possesses unique qualifications for developing and managing luxury properties in remote places. His extensive network of travel industry professionals and his diverse background enable him to successfully position, promote, and market his hotels quickly and effectively.

Jason's many interests, including outdoor sports, sailing, hiking, fitness, restaurants and cooking, coupled with his own luxury travel experiences since childhood, give him unique insight into guest needs, allowing him to better develop experiences for those guests. His work has garnered many accolades, including Best General Manager Worldwide 2015 by Gallivanter’s Guide and Best Hotel Manager Worldwide 2013 by Andrew Harper - The Hideaway Report.

J.M.Friedman & Co.,  thrives on its ability to access the best and brightest minds in the industry on a project-by-project basis, ensuring the delivery of tailored hospitality solutions for its diverse clients.
