Tharapana Khaoyai Resort

We've been her for a long weekend and enjoyed it so much to stay in this beautiful place along the small river. It's very calm and peaceful and it's so relaxing to sit on the small terrace or in the restaurant. The room was nice, altough quite small and it feels a bit like living in a container due to the construction material. The bathroom is proper but not luxurious and the shower head needs some descaling; the water poured out in a narrow jet. For us, it was not a big problem and the setting was just so nice and it was awesome to sleep with the window open, feeling the fresh air and listening to the river. The mosquito net at the door had no leak so no problems in the room. Only considering that the standard was not high-end, the room price is pretty high. But as far as we've seen that's the case in the whole area... The owner and his son were welcoming and very nice and they can speak English. Still service-wise they could improve a bit, for example helping better with transportation matters for guests like us not having a car. We asked in advance how we could get there from Pak Chong and received an unhelpful answer. When we arrived in Pak Chong (quite late, because of the Public Holiday traffic), we couldn't find a bus and had to organize a private taxi for 500 baht. A pick up service or more information would be great. For the way back to Pak Chong we asked if they can call us a taxi because we didn't want to wait for the Song Thaew a long time in the sun, but the staff just said no they can't. Also, it would be more convenient if they could organize Motorbike rental, because the rental place at the park entrance is too far away to walk. The breakfast wasn't that good, they serve fried eggs, cold ham and sausage and salad with a sweet sauce and some toast bread, jam and cereals for self service. Would be great to offer butter and maybe some fruits and the meat should be warm. One of us was vegetarian and the lady just ignored the request not to put the meat on the platter, altough we sad it in Thai. However the criticism should not belittle this place too much, because all in all it's still very nice and the location is worth a lot.
