The size of the saltwater pool...the view from our second floor balcony down to the pool, the huge breakfast ( and choices), the dinner choices of Thai food, the fab view from other side of our balcony of the Mekong River in the distance, the beautiful and comfortable 4 poster bed, most of all, the owners John amd Jamm who made our 3 night stay memorable...treated us like family, showed us around, invited me to market and to assist in making our dinner( i love to cook). We love to cycle and did find the onsite free bikes adequate to get to the main part of Chiang Khong but wanted more comfortable bikes so John not only contacted a bike rental in town, he brought us to the shop in his truck so that we could bring the bikes back in order to get biking in the morning( rental in town only 100baht each...equiv to $4.00 Canadian each for 24 hrs). Biked beyond their property into countryside, then to town and along the Mekong River. If ever back to Thailand, would absolutely stay with them again.
