This place is as good as the pictures. Immersed in nature on the river you hear birdsong and can swim in the river. The restaurant serves good food and the staff are friendly. Stay more than one night though. Most people come all this way and do t get to properly enjoy it. We stayed three! You can use the pool at the sister property next door.

This is a very special y property - we loved our stay! Our driver dropped us at Phutakien Pier and the long tail boat was already there, they are transferring guests to the resort regularly in the afternoon . Lots of free drinks and food in fridge. Nice restaurant. No mosquitoes in December. Nice pool at sister resort 5 mins walk away - you can return for free to the float house from the pier. Beutiful room and was very quiet. Reasonably priced massages.
