Phukaew Resort & Adventure Park

Our room was spacious, with comfortable beds. The place looks out over a lake and an adventure park.

On my first visit, I was impressed by this pleasant place to stay in the Khao Kor area. It’s somewhere between small and large, with plenty of flowers to enjoy while walking around. There’s a high point for looking out over the surroundings, and although the resort offers a shuttle car, I enjoyed walking. The room was clean and tidy, though the internet connection wasn’t good in some rooms.

The landscaping and tall leafy trees were what impressed us most. The winding roads between the lobby, the Adventure Park, and the rooms made the truck rides a fun way to see the sunrise, sunset, and scenery. We were in hillside rooms with decent views, spacious rooms, and good-sized bathrooms. Everything worked well, including the wifi, hot shower, and TV, though there was a small stain inside the kettle, so we didn’t boil water in it. Our rooms were near Phukeaw Peak hill and the Lookout Cafe, so rides up and down were quick. They were farther from the Lobby, so we booked the on-call trucks, which was pleasant enough. Staff didn’t understand English, so Google Translate came in handy. It’s a safe, comfortable place for both young and old, with cute, quirky dairy animal sculptures in the field alongside a miniature Windmill and cabin. There’s also a nice-sized adventure park next to the forest.

We stayed in cabin 1, and my wife and kids enjoyed the trip, so I’m glad we chose this place. The phu kaew cafe is a great spot for photos, especially around sunset, and resort guests get 50% off at the adventure park. I recommend the flying fox. Check the windows after cleaning, though, because mine hadn’t been locked properly, and the tap leaked a little. I also didn’t expect the aircon to be off, but early mornings and nights were very cold, around 12 to 16 degrees.
