Kum Nangpaya

Khun Nok and the girl serving / waiting were fantastic. They were super friendly and kind. Nothing seemed to be a trouble to them. The food was just right, as was the beer, and the view of the moonrise over the hills was perfect. It's a lovely, peaceful little resort in one of my favorite places in Thailand. For me it was ideal, because it meant I could drive down there from Bangkok after work and be up at 5am to drive straight into Kaeng Krachan National Park, which is literally 3 minutes from the resort. I'll definitely be going back to spend the night before I head into the Park for my camping and wildlife photography weekends.

Excellent location for exploring the National Park if you bring a car or hire a guide as very remote. Host was great & arranged our tour of the park. Very welcoming & evening meals very tasty. Breakfast was eggs, bacon & toast, which some might find limited.

If you don’t have a car- definitely pre book your return taxi as we got stranded when Grab taxis wouldn’t come out that far & no local taxis. Thankfully our host kindly gave us a lift to a minivan stop. Careful when walking around the area as local dogs aren’t particularly friendly. We had to retreat.

Location to park is a couple of minutes to drive. The grounds are pleasant. The meals are good. The room was tidied daily. There are interesting birds on site. The host is pleasant.

Our cabin was very run down. The AC dripped constantly, the bathroom ceiling leaked causing a large pool of water on the floor and debris in the sink. This is not a 3 star resort.

We stayed one night in this property. Very basic room with whatever we needed including AC. Fantastic garden with great wildlife. You can sleep with the sounds of Nightjars and Tokays. The house is just next to the National Park entrance. Very good breakfast. And lovely staff.

Nothing.

Nokki and her sister were fantastic hosts, they woke up very early to cook us breakfast before we headed out on our safari each morning. It's a great, cosy little spot with fantastic birding opportunities. Would highly recommend!

The place is awesome, a lot of birds come in the mornig. Very peaceful and natural

Breakfast price is way too expensive. Its not possible to have thai food for breakfast and there is no menu. In result: 3 toasts, 2 fried eggs, bacon and coffee are more expensive than 2 pad thai dishes... We felt a bit scammed there but that's the only bad point of this place.

The staff is wonderful and kind. They are happy to organise you anything like tour guide to the National Park, transfer to anywhere. Food was tasty, location is very peaceful and has nice birds around. We had one day organised to go see wildlife in Kaeng Krachan National park. It was 3500 THB for 2 people. 6.30am - 6pm. We saw lots of animals so was really really worth it! Next day we had a transfer organised to Kui Buri National Park (4000 THB) and there we had a safari truck with a guide (850THB per truck plus foreigner national parl fee 200THB). The Kui Buri has safari 2pm - 6pm and I recommend to go at 2pm because it is acrually a full 4 hour program filled with many wild elephants. It was 2,5 hour drive there and then back but totally worth it. In Kum Nanpaya they helped us to organise everything and you can organise ahaed with them. They were super helpful and were happy to answer questions. We loved our stay here.

There is really nothing closeby. We wanted to rent a scooter, or buy some food, but nothing available walking distance.

Great location, very close to Kaeng Krachan National Park. Rooms are basic, but very clean. Both sisters running the place are very kind and helpful. Nokki has been very kind finding me a guide to visit Kaeng Krachan NP and also arranging things so that I could go to a good bird hide. Beautiful garden with a lot of trees and some beautiful birds. I took there my first photos of the Pied Hornbill.

The staff (Nokki and her sister) are wonderful and were so helpful in setting up tours of the NP and transfers. The grounds are beautiful and quiet with a picturesque lake. The birdlife is strong being so close to the national park. They put out fruit everyday and 9 times out of 10 Oriental Pied Hornbill will show up, along with many other beautiful birds. Overall an extremely relaxing and pleasant experience! Will be returning 😊.
