Poor service; overpriced
Not so great. Apparently there are 80 rooms and it certainly wasnt full. But upon checking we were put in the furthest rooms on the perimeter next to the road. Very loud at night + in early morning.
Breakfast was mediocre at best (compared to other places we stayed in northern Thailand in similar price range).
Very buggy, many mosquitoes due to ponds throughout the property and the river. While pretty, it was not worth the money.
We scheduled a GrabPlus 3 days in advance to ensure we had 6am transport to the Lao border crossing. I started getting nervous abt lack of driver confirmation from Grab, so talked front desk staff. They said 98% chance we’d get picked up and not to worry!! I asked if they could provide a backup transport option but they said no they couldn’t think of any taxis or other services who would pick us up at that early hour.
At 8pm the night before Grab cancelled our scheduled ride. Fortunately we had done Cooking with Ann the day before — she is a lovely + extremely competent woman. I WhatsApp’d her to see if she knew of any drivers or friends who could help us out early the next morning. 10 minutes later we had a confirmed ride!!
Resort food and laundry services were ridiculously overpriced. $21 for dinner? One laundered t-shirt for 25bht? There’s a lovely self-serve laundromat half a block away from hotel. We washed ALL of our clothes a single LG machine for 40bht.
I don't know of a better accommodation to recommend but i’m sure there is one!
