Viang Yonok is all things a resort in a naturally beautiful location should be. You get the best morning and evening views and immediately feel at home and relaxed thanks to Ian and K. Vassana's naturally warm welcome. Their pride and pleasure in this property is evident in the care they lavish on the property and guests, and of course the animals. Very special.

lovely, tranquil resort experience

Reviewed By jazsacher

We thoroughly enjoyed our 1 night stay at the Bansaeo Garden and Resort in Shiang Saen. We stayed in a spacious and modern room overlooking the Mekong River. The only single criticism I have of the room was the water temperature of the shower was warm at best and not hot.The pool was absolutely lovely and secluded along the banks of the river. The grounds were rustic but catered nicely for tourists looking for an 'escape experience'. Also, the service was polite and professional. Overall, this was a satisfying & tranquil resort experience.

Athita The Hidden Court Chiang Saen Boutique Hotel

ATHITA, The Hidden Court Chiang Saen Athita, We are quietly hidden away here in Chiang Saen just 70 meters from the river front. Athita is a true reflection of Chiang Saen. Built using the same brick as the ancient Temples and Pagodas scattered throughout the town. This will provide you with a true sense of tradition which is deeply rooted within the town of Chiang Saen. Furthermore, our traditional brick build is complemented with Teak wood throughout our 9 rooms, cafe and restaurant. We overlook a 700 year old ancient Temple, Athi Ton Kaew, only a short stroll away. Alternatively, you may choose to relax around our pool area or catch the sunset after a long day of exploring all Chiang Saen has to offer. We pride ourselves on how our hotel embraces true Thai tradition as a family-owned business which prioritises an authentic experience for all our guests.

Unique Hotel But Disappointing and Overpriced

Reviewed By 396thee

We booked this place because of the impressive reviews online. However, I was a bit disappointed when we actually checked in. Below is my rundown. The Good: The food is healthy and delicious. The hotel's design is wood-themed which makes things interesting if you want to get in tune with nature/meditation and all that. I can tell the hotel invested heavily in quality of the building and furniture. The lower-level staff (cleaners, waitress, security, etc.) were superb as usual in Thailand. The Bad: Finding the hotel is confusing even when using Google Maps and it doesn't help that there is next to no signage to assist with locating the hotel. The managerial staff seemed aloof, distant, and apathetic - not what you expect at Thai standards. The room's aesthetics were great if you like wood but the room was NOT functional - examples abound but essentially, the design did NOT allow good and efficient organization and placement of your things. Summary: This place is great for a single traveler or couples with minimal luggage - not great for families with kids. We paid about $200 per night for our room and it was definitely NOT worth it at that price point, which is why this review leans toward the negative. In my view, the reviews online do NOT accurately review this hotel.

The mountain view resort

Reviewed By Joniboy

There are 2 Buakham Resorts in the Golden Triangle (a few miles north of Chiang Saen). We stayed in the mountain side resort, the other resort is on the riverfront. It's a good 10 minute walk off the main drag through the village but set in a really lovely garden setting. There are a number of chalets dotted around the garden, all 3 of ours were clean with a fridge and a/c. We paid very little through agoda and were impressed. Only free coffee available in the morning, no breakfast but plenty places to eat in the village.

Parfait ! Neuf et de bonne qualité

Reviewed By Aurélie S

Un vrai coup de coeur que ce petit hôtel flambant neuf. Nous avons eu beaucoup de mal à trouver un hébergement pas trop cher et correct dans le coin. Celui là était parfait ! Une grande chambre, bien décorée et bien équipée. Très bonne literie. Jolie salle de bain. Climatisation, écran plat. Tout paraît neuf. Le petit déjeuner est compris dans le prix et copieux (oeufs, fruits, etc). Le personnel parle peu anglais mais est très gentil.

Super petit hôtel pour une escale au Triangle d'Or

Reviewed By 410xavierg

La facade extérieure de l'hôtel ne paye pas de mine mais les chambres à l'intérieur, notamment celles donnant sur le fleuve sont tops ! A privilégier ! Rénovées récemment, elles sont très modernes et design (avec Netflix !). Le petit déjeuner est servi dans la chambre. Communication par email et messenger facile avec le manager ! Rapport qualité prix imbattable pour le coin ! A recommander
