My stay at this floating hotel was truly an adventure! The journey to get there includes a long boat ride that rewards you with breathtaking views, making it worthwhile. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, especially during our excursions. However, the food options were somewhat limited. Overall, a unique experience that I would recommend, but two days felt just right for me.

My experience at 500Rai was truly unforgettable! The natural beauty and serenity of the location blew me away, and the staff made my stay even more special. I was able to enjoy delicious Thai meals prepared by the kitchen staff and relaxing massages by P Jim. However, not all aspects were perfect; I did hear some complaints about the cleanliness and service in other areas. Still, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking to disconnect and unwind.

Staying at this resort was a mixed experience for me. The breathtaking views of the lake were truly enchanting, and the unique accommodations added a touch of adventure to our trip. However, I was disappointed with the comfort level of our villa, as it felt more like a 2-star standard than a luxurious escape. The dining options were decent, yet the prices seemed on the higher side for the quality offered. Overall, it's an interesting place, but not without its flaws.

My stay at the resort was quite mixed. On one hand, the stunning views from the room were a real highlight, but the overall experience was tainted by poor service and high additional fees. The location was unique and offered beautiful scenery, but the amenities and dining left much to be desired. If you're looking for luxury, you might want to reconsider based on my experience.
