Panpim Resort

The staff are kind and helpful, and the peaceful natural surroundings make this a pleasant place. Good for a short or medium-length stay.

We came by bicycle while cycle touring, and the local area was lovely to ride around. People are friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the owners are lovely. They seem well known locally: when you mention Banpim Resort, people recognize it. The chalets sit among nature and feel like you have the place to yourselves. They’re cute, with big bathrooms. There’s a huge pond crossed by a pretty bridge, and a bucket of fish food on a bench so you can feed the fish. It’s a special spot for kids and adults. We planned one night and ended up staying four. Breakfast is optional and delivered to your porch, with a toaster for the bread. The price is incredibly reasonable. We would have stayed longer if we didn’t need to move on to extend our visas.

After a Vipassana meditation course in Dhamma Kamala, I stayed here and was treated so well by the very friendly lady owner, who speaks English. The surroundings are peaceful, the rooms clean, and breakfast was nice. It’s close to the national park.

The rooms are clean and have a mosquito net, air conditioning, and a fan. The people are very friendly and helpful. Tourists should bring their own transportation.
