We stayed on a river raft which was lovely, first night was a little unnerving as the room swayed a little bit with the fast running Kwai Noi, access to the raft was a steep hill, ok going down but getting up in the morning for b/f was agonising for my legs and arthritic hip. even my fit partner found the going a bit too much. Breakfast was good, eggs etc cooked to order. not too much English spoken by the staff although 'IM' the manager was excellent, she drove us to the nearest shops to buy supplies,(there are no taxi's or tuk tuk's or public transport at all) and she also drove us to the markets and took us on a day trip to the border when she had to renew her liquer licence. She has a lovely dog that dotes on her, The room was clean but basic, TV but no English speaking channels, we stayed for one week and IM loaned us her DVD player and movie's she was extremely helpful and a definate asset to the resort. the timber floors in the room allowed you to see the river underneath which was interesting and the mist on the river in the mornings was spectacular. The location and lack of a shop for supplies etc was a negative for us, but if you want peace and quiet and serenity it's a definate plus. the menu was confusing ... Crispy fried = soft glutinous noodles, so beware somethings are lost in translation.

A lovely, secluded spot. I preferred the river view villa to the identical pool view villa. River view is private and quiet. Big room with huge bathroom. Big tub and separate shower. Wifi internet the first time, but their internet was not working the second time. I stayed on a Tuesday night and the following Saturday night. The first night, I thought that my colleague and I were the only guests; then a Russian package tour arrived in two buses. Then, on the weekend, the hotel was busy with Thai guests. The pool is large and great. There is no spa, the hot spring baths were empty and under repair. I was happy with the buffet breakfast.
