137 Pillars House Chiang Mai Brings "Teak Wallahs" Back To Life With New Historical Tour

One of the hallmarks of 137 Pillars Hotels & Resorts is their bespoke guest experiences that are created around the brand pillars of art, fashion, history, music and culture.

Following the recent launch of the popular Private Art Experience at 137 Pillars Suites Bangkok, the all-suite luxury boutique hotel 137 Pillars House is offering guests a rare opportunity to delve into the rich history of Chiang Mai with their newly launched - “Tales and Trails of the Teak Wallahs” day trip experience.

The fascinating one day excursion chronicles the colourful lives of “gentleman foresters” or “teak wallahs” who worked for European based companies that owned lumber concessions in the heavily forested north of Thailand.

Oak had become scarce in Europe and adventurers had just discovered the teak forests of Asia sparking off a gold rush for the timber. Northern Thailand became the centre of the thriving teak industry in the region with the arrival of the British-owned Borneo Timber Company in the late 1870's. With holdings in Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Lampang, Phrae and Nan, the Borneo Timber Company rapidly became the richest and most powerful teak company.

By the end of the 19th century, three more firms had obtained leases in Chiang Mai and Lampang. These British companies, managed by “gentlemen foresters” or “teak wallahs”, controlled 60% of Chiang Mai's teak output. When the Borneo Company obtained a 100-year lease for a huge plot of land on the east bank of the Ping River near Wat Ket in 1888, it dispatched Louis T. Leonowens, the son of Anna Leonowens, to establish a branch office.

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Embarks on Expansion Drive in Thailand

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts – the world's largest hotel franchisor with approximately 9,200 hotels across more than 80 countries – expects to welcome several new properties in Thailand by the end of 2020 under its upscale Wyndham®brand.

“Thailand's tourism industry is riding the crest of a wave, with record numbers of visitors travelling to the country in search of its idyllic tropical climate and iconic attractions. Within the next two years, Wyndham will launch a series of exceptional new hotels and resorts in many of Thailand's most sought-after regions, expanding the capacity of established destinations and bringing international accommodation to exciting new markets. We look forward to enabling a new generation of guests to experience the wonders of Thailand,” said Joon Aun Ooi, President and Managing Director, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, South East Asia and Pacific Rim.

Thailand's tourism industry continues to set new records. According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), the country welcomed 31.25 million international visitors in the first ten months of 2018, up 7.8 percent year-on-year. The full-year total for 2018 is certain to have exceeded the TAT's target of 36 million visitors, representing a new all-time high.
