"This was our favorite place to stay in Thailand. Loved the treehouse vibe. The rooms were cute, the staff was friendly and helpful, breakfast was basic but good. It’s a walk from the main area in Railay, and you have to walk up a bunch of stairs to get to your room, but for me that added to the experience. ..."
