Tawan Ja Resort

The staff were polite, but the place felt completely unprepared for guests. We were told breakfast would come at 9 am, so I got up and waited. Nothing arrived for half an hour, and I had to call. By morning, the BBQ from the night before was still uncleaned, with insects everywhere. Even for the 500-baht BBQ set, we had to ask for dipping sauce. Towels and other things that should have been in the room also had to be requested. The bathroom and dome room were dirty and clearly needed maintenance. The showerhead was clogged when I tried to shower, and the bathtub couldn’t be used for soaking. The bathroom door was hard to open and close, and the dome door wouldn’t lock. Before coming, I’d prepared myself for there not being much fog or many guests. The view was okay, but the stay was so disappointing and not worth the room price. I nearly cried. 16/01/26 🤦🏻‍♀️😿

Breakfast was a real highlight. Everything was made fresh and served hot, including pan-fried eggs and pork congee, and the breakfast spot had a lovely view. The owner was kind and answered our questions. The scenery is beautiful and lives up to its reputation. We stayed in a glamping tent. In winter the wind can be strong, blowing straight across the open tent area. Inside, there was a lot of dust, especially on the furniture. There’s nowhere to hang clothes, used towels get wet, and without trash cans, tissues ended up piled in the tent. The water heater only worked in the shower bathroom. The mattress springs were broken and it sagged, so it was uncomfortable and should be replaced, or at least the mattress should be changed. It’s quite far out and isolated. If you’re driving, watch out for the very dark road.

A peaceful place for slowing down and relaxing with nature. Waking up to fog over the mountain was lovely.

The view is beautiful, and the place is quiet. The room was cleanly decorated, and the staff spoke nicely. The price is reasonable, not expensive, but getting food can be tricky since it’s difficult to drive out and find somewhere to eat. Dinner options are limited to pork barbecue, though it would be great if they offered other dishes too. The bathroom only has shampoo and conditioner, so bring anything else you need. There are also several things missing from the room, like a hot water kettle, coffee, a mirror, and snacks.
