A Few Kms Outside Phrae
The Ruen Kaew (Farm and) Resort is actually situated a few kilometres outside of Phrae. To get around you will need to have your own transport because it is a little bit out of the way. We booked through Agoda at around $AUD25 per night, no breakfast. Being animal lovers we quite enjoyed the fact that they had sheep around the back; a couple were allowed to roam around the front of the rooms in the evening. There are also a few cats roaming around the reception area which may be off putting to some people. The resort itself is set up a little like a US motel. Drive into the car park past reception and park your car in front of the room. The room itself was clean, bright and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. There was no safety deposit box or facilities to make tea or coffee (complimentary tea/coffee at reception). Typical Thai wet bathroom; tv was rubbish (poor reception) and WIFI was free but slow. In the surrounding area there was a small supermarket, a swimming pool and a few street food stalls. The buffet restaurant down the road is highly recommended. A bit of a downer was the pond located behind the rooms which did attract mossies. All in all a pleasent enough stay and we would be happy enough to stay here again.
