Bansuanphutarn

Accomodation is on a lush property located near a river. The houses are very nice and clean and the staff are incredible. It’s a bit of a walk to the nearest restaurant so we dined at the accomodation and the food and drink prices were fair and the food quality was good. They are accomodating to vegetarian meals. We did a one night stay on our way to the Panvaree bungalows and the staff helped us organize a tuk tuk to the wharf for 200 baht, they also got that tuk tuk driver to help us organize a trip back from the wharves to Ao Nang when we returned from the bungalows (for 3200 baht). This was a huge relief for us and made everything so easy. Included breakfast was a buffet, and was good quality.

The location is scenic: on a slope next to a small river facing a karst hill covered with forest. The resort is surrounded by green: fruit and rubber plantations on the back , the rain forest on the other side of the river. A lot of birdlife to watch in the early morning. This is a simple resort with basic facilities, but clean and functional. WIFI works well. Host is very kind and helpful. He made my breakfast a bit earlier to accommodate my departure time and proposed to join a boat tour on the Chieow Lan Lake that was good value and good fun. One has to accept that staying in simple accommodation like wooden and bamboo bungalow like this privacy cannot be expected and the quality of your sleep depends also on the behavior of your next door, a bit like in a camping ground. The place is very quiet, but not silent. Wildlife is very much active at night. The night full of sounds: crickets and other insects and birds. The morning is announced very early by the roosters. It is all part of the experience, not necessarily a weak point.

Perfect location in the middle of the nature The hotel is perfect, the staff is really nice Go there if you're looking for some peace you will hear the song of nature on the night and when you wake up 🥰 Fyi it's next to the lake where you can spend a really nice day exploring but it's not at the very entrance of kao sok national park (45 min away)

Beautiful location right on the river. Staff were extremely nice and accommodating.

The host was absolutely lovely she really helped with every need... The food was fresh and delicious and really catered for our 2.5yrs... and organised a great trip around the lake for us! Unfortunately we had to leave a day early due to my sister arriving earlier but would definitely recommend and we will be back!
