far from saraburi, great grounds, no internet
I thought this was 7km from Saraburi. It was more like 37km. My fault, so I won't penalize them on location.
Arrive during the day, or you will be lost - no English signs on compound, confusing layout, remote area behind some small rounds in residential area.
Gorgeous and spectacular gardens, grounds. They have a small army of people working on it (how can they afford this at these rates?).
The WiFi in the "public areas" (back up the hill at the hotel lounge) did not work during my stay. There is no WiFi in the bungalows/cottages. That was a bit of a shocker. There is NO phone in the room, so you can't call the front desk - you have to hike back up to the main building.
The beds were stiff and past their prime. The room was clean, but the bathroom was not quite right. I think they were interrupted, possibly a one-time occurrence, the shampoo was not changed out.
It is Thailand, so there are bugs. This was a little worse than some.
When I arrived that night, I was kind of perturbed. When I could see the place in the morning I realized what the attraction was - the grounds.
I did not have time to try it, but the swimming pool looked great.
The breakfast was included, and honestly not worth it.
The staff was very kind though. In spite of the language barrier, they were hospitable, friendly, and seemed genuine in trying to help.
