Vacation rentals in Dong Phaya

I extended my stay here longer than originally planned just because it was that good! This is the ultimate place to go to for peace and relaxation. It is its own little house on a small lake with ample and private outdoor space. I had a coffee each morning beside the lake and enjoyed the view and nature sounds around me. The house itself is very tastefully decorated and clean and stocked with everything you could need from a Bluetooth speaker to cool books and a yoga mat and more. The hosts are absolutely lovely and helped me so much with recommendations and language/translation issues I had. They went above and beyond! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and I will be back again for sure. 🥰

Vanich's home is in a stunningly beautiful location and is reached by a gravel track a few hundred metres away from a small village. The property is secluded and has a pretty garden complete with an allotment and pond. If you are looking for somewhere quiet and natural with views of the nearby mountains, then this is a great place to be. Vanich has now converted his house into a small restaurant with about six tables in the garden. He communicated well with me before my trip to check that I still wanted to stay and I am glad that I did. Vanich is an excellent cook so I was able to enjoy some of the best food I have eaten in Thailand which included a vegetable red curry and a mackerel grilled in a banana leaf which was incredible. Vanich tries to use vegetables and herbs from his garden where possible - this is a major vegetable growing area so it all tastes so fresh. All food is cooked directly to order too. The accommodation (large upstairs room with lovely views) had everything that I needed. Vanich even took me to the local town one evening for some food and beers with his friend. He is a fantastic host and was always on hand to help me with anything. Thanks again for a brilliant stay in a stunning location. The area is fantastic for cycling too.

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy and charming place. The service staff were incredibly friendly and provided superb assistance. Despite the language barrier, as we couldn’t speak Thai, we managed to communicate effectively. However, during the booking process, information about breakfast and lunch being provided was not indicated clearly, so we brought our own groceries so ended up with leftovers.
