I have been visiting Thaton over a 8 year period always staying at the Maekok River Village resort. You always get a warm welcome form hosts Bryan and Rosie and their very friendly staff. I took my wife with me on a recent trip and she was enchanted with the resort. You could not want a more attractive location and... More

Few minutes after we had mentioned à wish or desire it was already arranged. À privat trip to the Golden Triangle, à mountainbike to enjoy the countryside and even à trip in à longboat to Chiang Rai when Everyone else said that that was impossible (too low water). Beautiful gardens, friendly staff, in short: perfect!!!

We were two families holidaying together with 5 kids aged 8 to 13yo. Maekok River Village resort was easy to book, to make plans and flexible with rearrangements. The family rooms were ideal for us. There were toys in the room which were enjoyed by the girls (8 and 9 yo) when we were in the rooms - which was... More

We continue to be delighted with the response from families which stay. Having travelled with young children (many moons ago!) and having to find continuous entertainment for them, we decided to make this a truly family-friendly resort, particularly so that the whole family can enjoy activities together. So we have gone well beyond 'a chlldren's pool and a playroom' which... More

A real blessing after 2 full days in the Golden Triangle. We hadn't booked and were only due to have lunch, but once we got here all our plans flew to the wind and we had 24 hours of pure relaxation, enjoying the garden, a river boat ride for sun set and an early morning bike ride to the Burmese...

Thank you for taking the time to add a review. We were delighted that you managed to persuade your guide to change plans and that you extended lunch by 24 hours!! We often hear lunchtime guests also asking their guides similarly, and so it was great that in your case this happened. We enjoyed our conversations about Hong Kong, and... More

Maekok strikes a wonderful balance providing a beautiful haven for the traveller and supporting the local community. The rooms are well equipped and tastefully furnished. Do make the most of the organised personal tours - I was stopping over on a business trip and managed to pack in so many different experiences - river boat trips/hiking and kayaking that it... More

Dear Cathy, Many thanks for this kind review. We are firm believers in working closely with the local community and apart from the numerous improvement projects carried out in local schools through our visiting schools programme, we have now organised sponsorship to allow 20 local students to remain in education. And indeed, several guests have provided funds to allow this... More
