Saengcha Farm Resort

I chose to stay here for 3 reasons: the excellent reviews, pet dogs, and homemade chocolate! It was the best choice. From the moment Munin the owner, picked me up from Bangkok, we got on very well, and I can honestly say that from being a guest here, we are very good friends. I love my little bungalow, everything I need: comfy double bed, table and chairs, a small fridge, bedside table, efficient air-conditioning even when it's very hot outside. Hot water always available for showering. It's very peaceful here, very little traffic On my first day Munin took us on a tour around the farm explaining the chocolate making process from cacao bean to chocolate bar. Next week I shall have a go at making my own chocolate. Excellent coffee and chocolate drinks to die for in the Coffee Shop.the Mexican Chocolate drink is to die for! Self-service breakfast of Chinese donuts, toast, jam, butter, instant coffee or tea. ( I always start the day with the 'real thing') Traditional Thai breakfast also available. Munin's brother is a superb chef, making tasty Thai dishes to order. Small shop across the road selling basics, but Munin will drive guests into the city, Prachin Buri, on request. Interesting places to visit: world famous homeopathic pharmacy situated in a beautiful building that has a history of its own. After a day exploring at Khao Yai national park we stopped at a night market to look around and try different Thai food. Very useful having Munin as a guide/translator! It's also possible to accompany him when he walks his 4 gorgeous dogs in the evening. There is also bike hire , the roads are very good, well-surfaced. I'm staying here for one month, have enjoyed every day. Coming back in October. Thoroughly recommend .

Saengcha resort was one of the most cozy places we stayed during our 4 month trip in SE Asia. This all thanks to the complete staff, that made us feel at home from the initial moment we arrived per train from Poipet. Munin (owner) took us for a walk with the kids. He also took us as a driver through the beautiful Khao Yai National Park. Finally, he took us to Songkran (Thai New year), preceded with a ceremony in the local Thai temple. Thanks to all this, we experienced a truly authentic stay in rural Thailand, something we didn’t experience before. There are no places to eat on walking distance but the food prepared at Saengcha resort is delicious local Thai food. The bungalows themselves are clean and basic, with good AC. I highly recommend!
