We had a great stay here, super affordable, and definitely worth it. Fun experience to stay in a bungalow with a mosquito net. Nice facilities and had laundry services too. The fan keeps you cool all night

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.
