The resort is very new and there was still some work to do, our friends in Chiang Mai organised it for us as we wanted to be on the edge of the city in a quieter area. There is an established restaurant and ice cream parlour already on site ( Karin & Shor's) . What can I say, it was exactly what we wanted, nice individual cabins (1 bed) with lounge, shower and small kitchen area. we were the first westerners to stay longer than 1 or 2 nights too. The rooms were cleaned daily and towels changed daily but could opt for 2 day change if you wanted. The staff were amazing and have become friends too. We fed back some small things that we felt would help, such as no English speaking TV channels ( just a news one would be fine) and a small guide as to local attractions, transport etc. The path to the new slat water pool was not finished, but the poo itself and toilets etc were spotless, but a bit remote form main area, but again that suited us and the area was still being developed, so these small items would be sorted. Nothing was too much trouble for all the team, we also had our clothes laundered to safe doing it on our return home ( small charge). Transport to the town was not a problem as a taxi was cheap and various Thai methods were available - TukTuk, Songthaew etc. We did not hire a car as intended as city driving is crazy and we had our friends to drive us around. Being on the edge of town with little to do but chill will not suit everyone, but is a great place to relax. The manager, Pao and his wife Aey organised our taxi to the airport through a private firm, immaculate car and so reasonable. We will go back of that there is no doubt. Restaurant had a good mix of food, but one comment would be if you were just eating there you would run out of options as the menu although very good and the specials were good too, but not perhaps enough variety for everyone. Ice cream choices were very good too. Overall we loved it and the people.
