Description
Hello!
My name is Bounlisth, I am 38 years old. Me, my wife, our 4 kids and dog are excited to welcome you in our resort. Me and my family run 2 businesses: a travel agency in Thakhaek and a hotel which is one hour drive away from Thakhaek. Our hotel, located near by Namthuen reservoir in Nakay, is also very well situated because the village is one of the stops for the motorbikers doing the Taekhek Loop. A breathtaking loop lasting maximum 4days that attracts many tourists. Our hotel is set in breathtaking nature therefore this peaceful environment is a perfect spot for travelers tired of hustle and bustle of busy cities.

Of course if you do come by with a motorbike, there are plenty of caves and nice waterfalls to see as we are situated on the Taekhek Loop.
Also everyday there is 4 buses/day for Taekhek on the market square : 7.30 am / 8.30 / 12.00 or 4.30 pm.
