And should you prefer privacy - again, just inform us! We will be happy to show you how to cook Thai food, concocting sumptuous dishes you can later recreate at home. Go walking (or take our bicycles) and explore the surroundings, rich in temples & villages, lakes & farms, and the listed wetlands of Nong Harn.
