This luxury
resort makes the most of its country location, and the kitchen makes use of the organic
rice and vegies grown on the grounds. (They make their own low-impact soaps and deter-
gents too.) Standard hotel rooms and some cool wood-and-thatch Isan-inspired cottages
line a row of ponds. Both are plush and lovely with nice views.
The lobby has a library, massage service and restaurant with Thai and Western food,
and free bikes are available. Its mascot is the buffalo and three real ones roam the
grounds.
