The wooded
hilly setting is more of a draw here then the basic accommodation, although some of the
rooms in the middle price range have inviting balconies looking out over a stream. The re-
sort is 2km from Um Phang; if approaching from Mae Sot, turn right just after Um
Phang's wooden district gate, then right again at the smaller wooden gate.

A cute
compound of rooms in and around a modern villa, all of which appear clean and comfort-
able. There's no English sign here, but you'd have to struggle to miss the huge flower-
decked letters out front.
