500 Rai Floating Resort

Every staff speaks good English, very nice. The environment is extremely amazing. There forces you to put down your phone enjoy your holiday because there has no signal at all. But in the resort providing WiFi (not free). We definitely will go there again

They didn’t respond to my email about how to get to the hotel, had to figure it out on my own. Don’t respond to social media messages either which is a shame. The place is hard to get to. The food was alright. But the view makes up for all of the above.

Wow! - What an experience - Tech. Detox for 3 days - Back to nature and the relaxing sounds of nature in the world's oldest rainforest at peace. A surprise adventure for my wife and son. We spent 3 days (not enough, at least 3nights/4 days) emersed in the tranquility of nature's beauty - no Wifi - no mobile signal. It did not disappoint. Staying on a floating cabin on the Khao Sok National Park lake, Chiew Larn Lake, with full services appeared to a luxury. It was, but enough to sense how comfortable it was with air-com, fans, shower, toilet, and a really comfy bed. The views were spectacular at dawn, day, and night. Imagine able to dive into the lake immediately from your French window doors into the fresh smoothing fresh lake water after a long sleep or days hiking? - Fully recommended to experience it. To be honest, the facilities are showing signs of usage and would need some level of refurbishment, especially the showers and toilets. Also to add, the owner has another new resort on the lake recently opened at 360 Issara, as we had lunch there, though very modern it did not have the practicalities of 500Rai. At 500Rai the services and the staff were just perfect. Professional, friendly, and Thai, especially Pukky, a park tour guide, service personnel, and friend, she took care of us very well. The tours are well organised, but not against the nature's weather. We were hit with a downpour and were completely soaked after our Safari tour (Bison, Elephants, monkeys, etc.) was cut short during the longboat ride back to the resort - another fun experience. Being isolated, the food choice depended and limited upon the resort. Though the choices were good, especially the Thai dishes, the quality of Western dishes were good, but not what you would expect in terms of expected taste profiles. Otherwise, nothing to criticize about. - Know your expectations! The 2x night/3-day stay was short, but we will be back very soon!

We stayed with our 12 and 14-year-old kids, and surprisingly, no one was bored for a second! We did longtail boat tours, swimming, kayaking, and board games by candlelight. No screens, just bonding. The staff made sure we were always safe and comfortable. It’s rare to find a place that pleases both teens and their parents . 500Rai nailed it.

We visited 500Rai as a family of four and it was absolutely magical. Our kids loved every moment kayaking, swimming. It was a perfect balance of relaxation and activities. The staff were kind, patient, and attentive to families. unforgettable memories !!🌤️⛺️🏝️

We arrived with four couples and beautiful day. the staff was warm and welcoming to us. Our room was well appointed and clean- very comfortable with amazing views. Food was beyond expectations. It is very very good given location and the remoteness the location. The activities will keep you occupied for a couple days. We can’t say enough good things about the staff.
