"Good place if you’re looking for a nature experience in Khaoyai !
Stayed at T8 (the smallest tent) and had enough room for 2 people to stay. Has a separate shower and toilet at the side of the tent which is pretty clean.
Friendly staff and delicious food !!"

"Beautiful and quiet place. Food was great, it’s a western menu with nice selection of wine. Coffee shop and restaurant are artfully decorated and comfortable. Very nice staff and service. Next visit will stay in one of the larger rooms, we stayed in one of the smaller rooms and it was a bit too small, but comfortable. I saw 23 species of birds on the property, a nice addition to the overall environment."
