In our family trip to Chiang Mai city, we stayed at the Holiday Inn Hotel. We are happy with our stay and even glad that we had a chance to communicate with the hotel General Manager who is also a Penangite.
While my stay in Holiday Inn had been brief and also most of the time we are out on excursion and shopping. Even with such schedule,I still managed to have a brief analysis of the hotel Feng Shui.

Some of the readers will now have questions in mind, what does Lord Ganesha has to do with Feng Shui?
Allow me to explain this case study. The hotel has 2 main doors in the front, on the left and right.
The hotel front facade faces almost North. Thereby one of the main door is facing directly NORTH while the other is more of a NORTHEAST.
By having Lord Ganesha, in the center hall of the hotel, actually it has strengthened one of the door to be considered as main intake of Qi. And it happens that this main door where Lord Ganesha statue is facing is the NORTHERN door.

Hotel industry belongs to element of Metal and Water industry. Before the installation of Lord Ganesha, the hotel had equal intake of Qi from 2 main doors which is a mix Qi, after the installation, the primary Qi intake has been established on the Northern door. Whereby creates more traffic flow and business for the hotel.
Some who like to study Feng Shui theories and in constant search for Feng Shui complex formulas will be thinking " WHAT ?! That's it?, no need check the Flying Star 飛星, Water Exits 出水位, Landforms 地形, Xuan Gong Da Gua 玄空大卦?"
Knowing when to apply what is the most crucial skill as a Feng Shui practitioner. Being able to find the most effective leverage point to influence a Feng Shui setup is called a Skillful Feng Shui practitioner.
Of course more can be done for the hotel in terms of its location and interior.
Nevertheless they have correctly installed the beautiful Lord Ganesha together with 4 other elephant statues in their main hall from a Feng Shui perspective.
