Philip is great! It rained at the beginning of the day, but the whole trip was fulfilling! (It takes a little getting used to riding an electric scooter for the first time! Watch out for the roads in Thailand.)

Highly recommended for all bagpacker travellers, the hotel are very convenient and accessible. Staffs are very accommodating and helpful. They have a shuttle that can drop you in their point zone near to the place you are going. our room was always clean even tho we didn’t ask for the make up room but they insist to give us a very comfortable room after our long day from the tour we had. Their food in the breakfast was excellent. We enjoyed our stay so much. Thank you!
