You could stay outside in the huts to enjoy the windy and sunshine and you could also spend your whole night sleeping in a tent with net next to the ping river. It provides a good vibe and I love the green view there. And there is a dog and two cats stuff there.

There is lots of space to sit out by the river and enjoy the surroundings. Loved the fact you could choose to sleep in or outside (outside was full so unfortunately I c
