500 Rai Floating Resort
Arguably the most popular floating resort in Chiew Larn, Suratthani.

Petchabun
Blue Sky Resort Khao Kho

Kiriwong Riverview
Known as the village with the most refreshing air in the country, Kiriwong continues to attract more interest from locals thaqnks to its appearance in various lakorn.

Chiang Rai
Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle
We rave about it again and again, just because it'sthe most glamorous tented resort there in Thailand (you'll feel a like a hi-so version of Jane and Tarzan). Whether it's for the outdoor spa or the bathtub with an amazing view, staying here's a pleasure any time of the year. Glamping in style wont be cheap (B194,340 for a two-night adventure package), but a stay comes inclusive of three meals/day, drinks and all sorts of on-site activities.

Pai
Reverie Siam
18 unique guestrooms hidden within the mountains of Pai come with antique furniture and oriental curiosities that encapsulate the magic of the early 19th century. Definitely an unexpected find in Mae Hong Son. Rooms start at B3,875/night for the Deluxe Mountain View.
