What should we say about Viang Yonok? It was a big surprise. We got the place recommended by a friend who had a stay there a view days ago and told us, the Viang Yonok is a MUST! After a long day on our motorbike we finally reached the Resort, it is a bit outside the city near a nice... More

Our first trip to Thailand (to meet up with our adult son who lives in HK), a wonderful experience from the moment we were met by Chai at the airport. Nothing was too much trouble. A beautiful location, calm, the peace only broken by the wonderful birdsong all around, it was a perfect place to stay. The accommodation was comfortable... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay here before our boat trip down the Mekong. Ian and Vassana treated us as friends rather than hotel guests. They went out of their way to show us the region. Ian took us on an all day trip through the mountains up to and along the Burma border, finishing at a unique and fascinating... More

We stayed here for 3 nights after Ian had picked us up after a 2 day trip up the Mekong River from Laos and we were so delighted that we had chosen to stay here.. To be honest I felt like we were on a home stay =, we were made to feel so welcome, relaxed and we really did... More

When you stay at this family-run hotel, its feels like you are visiting friends. Husband and wife owners Ian and Vassana put a lot of love into their business. They were friendly and helpful and took time to get to know us. Employee Chai, helped out everywhere (restaurant, transportation, answering questions) and has a great sense of humor. One day,...

What a cosy, peaceful place! Chai made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Very comfy beds, clean chalets and excellent "full monty" breakfast. Each chalet has a verandah with a view of the lake, the garden is full of birds and an adequate plunge pool to cool off and enjoy your sundowners by. Definitely will be... More

Viang Yonok is a wonderful hotel with small, private comfortable bungalows. The location is remote, and unless you want to visit local sites (the hotel is very close to the Golden Triangle of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar), you can curl up with a good book and enjoy the hotel's excellent cuisine. If you do want to tour the area, there... More

Sadly, we only stayed at Viang Yonok for one night on our cycle tour. Ian and Vassana were wonderful hosts. Our bungalow was extremely clean and comfortable with a lovely verandah to relax on and watch the sunset over the lake. We followed Vassana's menu recommendations and enjoyed a super meal - one of the best we had in Thailand.... More
