Akchanok Homestay - Nature Retreat

Whether you like this place or not depends on what you're looking for and also whether or not you have independent means of transport. First thing to note is it is fully 11kms outside of Phitsanulok and Grab etc Apps don't work here. This said, the owner can contact a local taxi driver if needed and bicycle(s) are provided free of charge with the surrounding countryside being both quite pretty and very flat (& hot!). Secondly, there are no Breakfast or Kitchen facilities (although the lady owner did kindly provide me with plenty of Bananas and cheap, cold beer and there are a couple of food stalls plus a Convenience Store about 100m away). So, if you're a very self sufficient traveller and looking for peace, quiet and serenity I suspect you will quite like it.

The Pool is quite small, above ground and was actually out of use when i arrived.

We could use the small kitchen which was handy as there was not much in the way of food places. The pool was refreshing however it was covered,we had to ask for cover to be removed. The owners were great and looked after us. Very peaceful.

It would have been nice if the pool had been accessible all of the time. Cover needed to be in place to keep leaves out. You need transport. We had a motorbike but only stayed for two nights instead of three as it was so quite.

The host is such a beautiful lady and the whole atmosphere here is amazing, well worth it! Just book it now and go!

The Boss, very friendly

You walk up into a huge room with a long table.2 bedrooms on the left 1 on the right. Pictures on the wall if thier family and the king and queen.

Every thing is so nice here. Amazing hospitality. Barbecued fish and a bit too much drink....was perfect!!! Thank you for your happy company and the lovely room and balcony overlooking the fish lake Best wishes Mike n Lizzy ❤️

We loved our stay here. The owners (a couple who have been there for nearly thirty years) made us feel very welcome. They’re clearly put a lot of effort into making the place beautiful and feel very secluded. We were a fairly short drive from the train station (about 15 minutes). The bungalows on stilts were well equipped and the beautiful trees and surrounding areas made us feel like we were extremely remote - in a good way!
