Nhapha Khaoyai Resort

Stunning architecture and landscape, like a Stonehenge loft – designed by the talented, warm & friendly owner / artist / Professor Thavorn. From the get-go, upon our arrival, he made us feel right at home, alongside his staff greeting us with a friendly smile (and we definitely appreciated the room upgrade to Villa with Private Pool, but that’s not the reason why we felt right at home!) It’s quite tricky to get around in Khaoyai as taxis aren’t available, as one has to book a driver for at least half or full days for tours, so we couldn’t do much walking anywhere to explore for food. However we appreciated that Nhapha had Breakfasts & Dinners included in our booking, every dinner was a different menu, and it was all prepared with heart! It wasn’t fancy meals, but every bite tasted like comfort food. Would definitely come back if we decide to return to Khaoyai. And excited to see how the owner continues to expand the space with more of his state-of-the-art private villas – his taste and touch is impeccable. Thank you for the memorable first visit to Khaoyai, you made our honeymoon whole!

Location is a little hard to get around, unless we get a driver with a car that has to be at least a half / full day booking. But I’m guessing most resorts in Khaoyai are the same case

The villa room was spacious.

Caution with the train carriage as good to look at but not good to stay. Very cramped No cafe or restaurant, so no central social area

Lovely decor, comfortable stay. Enjoy our stay as a couple. The meal options are limited but fed us both well.

Mentioned tumbler washer in the room details but was non-existent. Wish that there are more shelves too.

Very unique setting. Great for photo opportunities. Room was large and well-decorated. Meals were a great inclusion in the booking price.

Do expect some bugs given the natural / outdoor setting.

cleanliness and staff

the bed is not comfortable, not soft

Well designed, very unique, quiet and relaxing. Beautiful surroundings, peaceful ambience, lots to see and do in the resort if you’re there for a quiet getaway. Food provided was great, really enjoyed the local home-cooked goodness. Resort wifi was not working for the last 2 nights but staff provided replacement devices for us. Owner was there the last night, had a great chat with him and he provided complimentary glasses of wine for us which was really nice.

Subwoofer was not working, staff didn’t manage to replace it until the last day. Weighing scale needed new batteries.

A very exclusive environment that extended assistance at every opportunity. Magnificent architecture with rooms that highlight the beauty of the rock quarry. On site tea cafe - modern and delicious. Breakfasts and dinners were included and were delicious! Spent significant time with the owner who personally helped to meet our every need.

Mattress was hard which seems to be common in most places we’ve stayed.

The staff were very accommodating. Customer service was excellent. The owner who is the curator of the art museum greeted us over dinner and was very friendly and down to earth. Food quality was superb! We went with the accommodation with half board meals. The decor and fine touches were of high quality.
