Description
Our resorts and their facilities have been meticulously designed by the pioneer of nature tourism in Thailand, Dick, who founded the project 35 years ago. We have created and perfected a one-of-a-kind nature experience, with rooms spread out amongst jungle trees and fruit orchards. Our tours highlight the incredible environment of Khao Sok, while providing authentic Thai customer service, local connections, and a genuine commitment to sustainability.
Our resort combine an array of uniquely designed Treehouses and Bungalow accommodations nestled into the pristine nature of our 25 hectare (160 Rai) private property. Offering dense jungle, towering limestone cliffs, and a serene river. Our resort provide guests with the possibility to relax and unwind amidst this natural paradise, located only 5 minutes away from the Khao Sok National Park entrance.
For our combined inventory of 39 rooms, we are keeping with our eco ethics, by providing our guests with fan cooled, openly designed rooms, which emphasize the sounds of nature over noisy energy consuming air conditioners. All rooms are fully equipped with hot water showers, high quality mosquito nets, western toilets and general hotel amenities.
Our Restaurant and Bar areas will leave you inspired from its unique design to freshly baked bread, homemade jams and a yearly selection of harvested produce from our sustainable farm. In the evenings, beverages are served along with outdoor movie screenings and environmental education talks in our Jungle Bar areas.
While at the resort, guests are able to make use and explore our range of facilities, from a Water Tower Viewpoint, which doubles as a Spa and Massage area, overlooking our Paddy Fields and Organic Farm. To over 2.4 km of privately owned Nature Education Trails, which offer guests insights into the broad natural diversity of Khao Sok National Park.
Our resort further serve as a starting point for all Khao Sok & Cheow Lan Lake based Tours & Activities, which are organized and conducted as our own arrangements, with reliance on highly skilled and certified guides and suppliers from the local communities.
