Saranya River House

I'd stayed at the Saranya River House pre-covid and had been happy with the place so thought I'd give it another go. I was met by Saranya and her daughter Tan, checked in, given a cold drink and shown to my room. I actually preferred the one I'd stayed in last time and asked if I could have that one instead. No problem. I got up before breakfast to go to Doi Lang for birding and was given a substantial breakfast box each morning. Returning after dark at night, I ate nearby at a place recommended by Saranya, the Sunshine Cafe and the food was excellent. The hotel itself is tucked away by the river, quiet and with little passing traffic, adjacent to Tha Ton paddies, another birding site. The rooms are very clean, big soft beds, tea and coffee, plenty of drinking water and a good hot shower. Mine had a view across the river to the mountains. I did have a breakfast in the restaurant one morning and it was very nice. There was even an evening where some pupils from a local school performed music and dance in front of the hotel. Really good. So, yes, a great place to stay. Saranya and Tan are excellent hosts and I'll stay there again on my next visit.
