After staying at The Bamboo Nest with Noy and her family I think I have been spoilt to this kind of Tribal stay.
I was drawn to this with the offer of pay 2 nights get the 3rd free, now I know why!!! THERE WAS NO ONE THERE!!!!!!
I arranged the trip with Tao who seemed very nice, but I still didn't get the vibe it would be great. As a lone traveller for 1000 bahts in their" best" bungalow I thought i couldn't go wrong for 3 nights in their top bungalow!
He picked me up at the bus terminal , did not help me with my rucksack and told me he had handed in his notice, was just waiting to leave because the owner wasn't great. Mmmmm impressive start.. NOT!!
We arrived in the mountains, it was dirty, unkempt and rubbish everywhere . I was shown to my VIP bungalow, (again was not offered with my luggage)which I think basic beyond belief for the top of their range. The balcony was FILTHY, the bed uncomfortable with ripped sheets and a blanket that had seen better days. I also asked fir a flashlight- none, asked for some curtains- none!!
The bathroom tap was hanging off and it was like a sauna in there as no window or ventilation. The cable TV had nothing English and the fan left ALOT to be desired
There was no breakfast included. The 1 saving grace was the food cooked by Tao girlfriend. There was ALOT of it and delicious :) although my morning coffee and breakfast are still sat in The dining area and it's 7pm!!!!
NOT FOR ME! take my advice go to THE BAMBOO NEST WITH NOK AND HER FAMILY, same price, soooooo much nicer experience
