Bestil hvis You want the 'Guilin of Thailand' experience with air-conditioned comfort but don't mind thin walls and a strict boat schedule.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Stunning limestone cliff views directly from your bed
- Jump-from-your-room swimming into emerald water
- Massive Thai full-board meals that are actually delicious
Hurtig oversigt: A visually spectacular floating playground that feels luxurious until you hear your neighbor sneeze through the bamboo walls.
Anmeldt af @nadam.ib: I traded the noise of Phuket for this floating paradise and didn't regret it for a second. Waking up on the lake with those massive limestone cliffs towering over me was a spiritual experience. It’s raw, peaceful, and totally worth the 2-hour trip.

Reality check
The 'luxury' label applies to the nature, not the soundproofing—you will hear longtail boat engines and neighbors talking.
- You want to kayak right off your private deck
- You can disconnect (Wifi is spotty/public areas only)
- You are okay with a set schedule for meals and tours
Renhed & Vedligeholdelse
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily cleaning is efficient, though they might not scrub every corner of the outdoor deck.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean and modern tiled bathrooms. No major mold complaints, which is impressive for a damp environment.
- Maintenance: Good condition. Wood is polished, though floating structures naturally creak and shift.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and clean. Towels are provided for both shower and swimming.
- Odors & scents: Fresh lake air. No musty smells reported in recent reviews.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips
Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.
Is there electricity 24 hours?
Yes, electricity is generally 24/7, but high-draw appliances like AC are often restricted to 5 PM - 9 AM. Fans work all day.
Is there WiFi?
Technically yes, in public areas, but it's slow. Rely on an AIS sim card if you need connectivity.
Are bathrooms private?
Yes, Superior Rooms have en-suite bathrooms. However, some Family Room layouts require upstairs guests to share a downstairs bath.
Can I bring my own alcohol?
Yes, and you should. The on-site bar has cocktails and beer, but variety is limited and prices are higher.
Is it safe for kids?
Caution is needed. Walkways have gaps, water is deep immediately off the deck, and there are no lifeguards. Life jackets are mandatory.
What is the food like?
Surprisingly good. It's usually a set menu of Southern Thai dishes (curries, fried fish, vegetables) served family-style. Halal options are available.
Insidertips
- ✨
Wake up at 6:00 AM even if you're not on the tour—the mist over the lake is best viewed from your own quiet balcony.
- ✨
The 'Coral Cave' tour involves a bamboo raft ride; wear sandals that can get wet.
- ✨
If you arrive at the pier early, there's a market selling grilled chicken and sticky rice—grab some for a boat snack.
5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The water is deep (30m+) right off your deck; drop your phone and it's gone forever.
💡You might feel 'land sick' (swaying sensation) when you return to solid ground.
💡The 'Superior Room' is actually a room inside a 4-bedroom villa structure, not a standalone cabin.
💡Monkeys sometimes come down to the trees near the resort—hide your snacks.
💡The shower pressure is decent but hot water can be finicky depending on generator load.
