A peaceful retreat in scenic surroundings
Enjoy a stay in this fully furnished and tastefully decorated 125 sqm. two-bedroom house in modern Thai style. The spacious combined kitchen-dining-living room on the ground floor has direct access to a large terrace with garden/mountain views – the ideal spot for those long and lazy breakfasts. There is also a second, smaller terrace offering shadow in the afternoon when you’ve perhaps had enough sun for the day. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering.
The ground floor master bedroom has direct access to the garden. The second bedroom is on first floor, and sliding glass doors open to a balcony offering lovely mountain and sunset views. The large and well-kept garden has palms, bamboo trees, flowers and fruit trees (yes, please help yourself!) and provides both shadow and privacy. Both bedrooms have a wardrobe and adjoining bathrooms with shower, basin and toilet. The living room and both bedrooms are equipped with AC, and the living room has a dining area seating six people, television and DVD player.
The house is one of the 21 villas in the Swedish-Thai run Soi Dao Hill Resort. The estate also includes a common relax/service area on top of the hill with stunning mountain views, restaurant, infinity pool and all necessary services, including free of charge use of the wi-fi connection for mailing those poolside snapshots to friends and colleagues back home. The easy-going English/Scandinavian/Thai-speaking staff are knowledgeable and helpful and make you feel instantly at home. Soi Dao Hill Resort is the only resort in the area, ensuring a quiet and relaxing atmosphere devoid of any of the flipside features found in so many regular tourist destinations.
Transfer
Distance to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport is 300 km, while Trat domestic airport is 120 km away. Taxi transfer from Bangkok costs around THB 3000.
Surroundings
Soi Dao Hill Resort is located in the Soi Dao Highlands, a beautiful hill area close to the Cambodian border and nearby a nature reserve with rainforest, waterfalls and wildlife sanctuary. The location offers a combination of quiet, unexploited getting-away-from-it-all living, and a range of activities within easy reach. Soi Dao village with food market, shops, pharmacy, bank and restaurants is a five-minute tuc-tuc ride away. The Cambodian border with its lively and colourful border market is 20 km away, as is the beautiful Soi Dao Highland 18 hole golf course, one of the best in Thailand. River rafting can be experienced 35 km away at Khlong Pong Nam Ron.
An hour’s car ride (70 km) takes you to the province capital Chanthaburi with a good selection of shops and a famous Gem Market (all weekends), alternatively to the excellent, unexploited Laem Sing beach with the Oasis Sea World, offering among other things the opportunity to swim with dolphins. The beautiful and still only moderately exploited Koh Chang island is 140 km away and can be reached in 2-3 hours by car/ferry. The not-to-be-missed World Heritage site of Angkor Vat in Cambodia is 300 km away. Resort staff will gladly help out with booking of tours and hotels.
