It's a little off the beaten path, but that's the whole point, which is to get away from the tourist crowd. My partner and I spent three nights and were the only guests at that time. Dwaila and her husband picked us up at the train station and even thought to bring us a small bag of locally-made food to... More

There is limited... More

I stayed two whole weeks at the Hideaway in May/June 2012. The object of my stay was to photograph insects. The accommodation and food was of a very high standard. My only complaint was I was being served too much food. The staff were lovely people and I formed a special bond with Pat who was my guide. Not only... More

Dwaila's Hideaway came highly recommended - and it lived up to the hype. This is a great place to stay if you're looking for somewhere quiet and rural. We came as a family of four (children aged 4 and 14) and we all enjoyed it. The outings were pleasantly low key (in a good way) but really interesting and fun... More

After finally speaking to Dwaila after emails, and expecting some cultured European accent, you can imagine the surprise I got when the I heard this Iowa accent reminiscent of Granny from the old Beverley Hillbillies TV show!! (Sorry Dwaila, but 38 years in Thailand hasn't tempered your English dialect). That said though, it's obvious that 38 years in Thailand has... More

Staying at Punjen Hide-Away was everything and more than I expected. It's an opportunity to experience the local Thai culture in a way not available in most resort settings. I especially appreciated being able to interact with residents of the local village (staff), the comfortable rooms, the good food and excellent hospitality. If you enjoy nature, adventure and culture all... More
