Hongkhao Village may be small but stepped into the resort and you will be transported to a beautiful hidden sanctuary like no other. We loved the genuine and warm hospitability of the staff - especially the receptionists Thanya and Joy who were both extremely kind, helpful and pleasant. While its location is slightly out of the way, they helped us arranged uber and frankly you can reach most of the tourist hotspots within the city within 15 to 20 mins on the car.
We were impressed by the little surprises from the staff such as sending us free coconuts whilst we were chilling by the pool, and gifting us a set of refined bookmarks the day of our check-out. But what we enjoyed the most was definitely the friendly chats with the staff and story exchanges! And do look out for their resident cat Lucky around the resort :)
The highlight of the resort is no doubt the pool at the heart of the property - it's totally Instagram-worthy! We also loved the Lanna-style adornments around place (think vibrant colours, red lanterns and beautiful cushions on the couch), especially the little front outside of our room on the ground floor! I highly recommend the Luxury Double Room which we stayed in, it's very spacious, clean, and well-equipped with adaptors, fridge, TV and so on. We both slept extremely well during our stay.
Breakfast features the likes of Thai dishes, fruits, pastries, their omelets are great and they also offer mango sticky rice on some days.
