Kaengkrachan Boathouse Paradise Resort

Cleanliness: I personally think it's okay because they used reclaimed wood from boats to build the rooms, and since I currently live in a wooden house, I understand. Room Condition: I stayed in room Rung Thong 5. Being an older hotel, some light bulbs were broken or wouldn't turn on, but the room itself was very large and functional. If you're staying in this room with two people, there's plenty of space for luggage; you could even do aerobics in the room! The balcony has a perfect view. Service: The staff were cheerful, friendly, and very helpful. Because there weren't many guests, sometimes there was only one staff member doing almost everything, so things might be a little slow at times. Food: If you opt for the breakfast included in the package, you only have the option of rice porridge with minced pork or an American breakfast set (don't expect too much because there aren't many guests). However, if you pay extra for other meals, the portions are generous and the taste is good. Activities: Kayaks are available to borrow, and there's a boat tour around the dam available for an additional fee. I've been there, and the views are beautiful and the air is refreshing. You can board the boat near the dam, and there's a stop to feed the bingo on an island in the middle of the reservoir. The reason I'm giving it more than 10 stars is probably because of the hotel's location. Because it's located by the dam and the water, the breeze is very pleasant and the view is absolutely stunning. I was very impressed with that. The only thing to keep in mind is the limited number of staff and the fact that the service isn't as comprehensive as in a hotel.

Breakfast was served without a fan or air conditioning (staff wouldn't let us turn them on), there were cockroaches in the room, the blankets were stained and unclean, the water pressure was low, and the room was quite small, not worth the price.

อาหารอร่อยทุกอย่าง. ห้องพักกว้างขวาง. 3 เตียงเดี่ยว. ผู้ใหญ่ 3 คน. นอนสบายมาก. แต่ห้องน้ำอับไปหน่อย. น่าจะติดพัดลมระบายอากาศด้วย

The room was incredibly filthy and poorly maintained. There were vermin droppings on the walls, a filthy fan, and cracks in the walls. It was a completely neglected resort. The sofas outside had torn upholstery, communication was poor, and the owner laughed when I pointed it out. It might be a cultural difference, but I can't believe this never happened. The droppings were completely dried out, and the filthiness wasn't something that happened in a week or a month. They arranged an excursion for us. We specifically called to ask for an English guide, but the man spoke only five words, and the owner kept claiming he spoke good English. Later, she changed her mind because an English-speaking guide alone was already 4,500 baht. We were there to find accommodation for our group for next year. She did offer to show us other rooms, but if you're already renting out a room like that, that speaks volumes. The neighbors had a party going on with loud music until midnight. It's not their fault, but if you want facilities and a bar that's open until 9pm and a clean, well-maintained room, look elsewhere.
