The room was clean and as expected from the photos. Large, and good value for the price. Mr Nong was a great host who went out of his way to make sure our trip was enjoyable. We did a one day trip to the National park with him and saw lots of animals that we just wouldn’t have seen by ourselves including elephants, hornbills, porcupines, gibbons and monkeys. Just a heads up if you want a wildlife tour around the national park, Mr Nong is not an ecologist but he does have valuable local knowledge and contacts which enable him to provide an amazing day out, tailored to your interests. He even stopped on the way back so we could watch some rangers try to help an elephant who had wandered out of the park and into town, even though this meant we didn’t get home until about 9pm. It was a great day and highly recommended. A lovely guy who gave us a lift to the train station the next day.

The breakfast was basic but that’s to be expected for the price. We hadn’t realised quite how far away from town the accommodation was but Mr Nong offered to take us into town so that we could get some dinner which was very much appreciated.

Mr Nong was very useful, water supplied, picked me up and dropped off at the bus station, arranged tours I did full day with Mr Nong (saw lots of animals and saw gibbons really close!) and half day with someone he sorted for me (Chat) who was so lovely. After looking into other tours this seems like a really good deal and most tours do roughly the same route but with a bigger group and we asked for a bigger walk in the jungle and he tailored it to our group! He was good humoured and good company I felt very safe as solo female traveler. Big private room with bathroom. Great price, simple breakfast included. Sushi the (small and friendly) dog is gorgeous! I also walked from the hostel to the Chinese temple form the hostel (about 45 minutes one way) and stopped at the beautiful slowbar cafe (would recommend!) half way but for the next half of the walk I would definitely advise to bring a cautionary stick for the street dogs like Mr Nong advised me to do! But this was further away from the hostel and was safe walking nearby, there is also a small shop and cafe near by and a short 5/10 minute walk there are street food style local restaurants which were amazing!

Just a heads up that the mattresses were particularly hard (I know they’re much firmer out here anyway…) but still slept well after a day in the jungle!

We had a wonderful experience staying here! Mr. Nong is an exceptional host and guide – friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly thoughtful. He arranged transportation for us from and to the train station, gave us great tips on getting around the city, and recommended places to eat. We stayed in the family room, which was simple but spacious and equipped with everything we needed. Our 1-day tour to Khao Yai with Mr. Nong was a true highlight. His deep knowledge of the area and his warm, caring nature made the day unforgettable.

Amazing local experience. It has all the basics you need and it’s clean. The host, Mr. Nong, is the most incredible friendly guy you can imagine who will let you experience true local Thai culture. His tour of the jungle is unmatched! We had the best time at Mr. Nong! If you are considering doing the Khoa Yai jungle, Mr. Nong offers a great (private) tour. He knows the jungle very well and takes all the time you need to spot as much as wildlife as possible! We saw 17 elephants, snakes, monkeys,… most of all, Mr. Nong is an incredibly funny and nice guy. He really takes good care of you, speaks English and makes the most out of the experience. Staying at his place, which is his home, where he added different rooms, is a great way to get to know the ‘real’ and local Thailand. He takes you to the market for food and will sit with you to have a drink afterwards. 100% worth the money and very happy we booked with him!

Mr Nong was very accommodating for myself and my partner! He drove us to and from the train station and to night markets whenever we required dinner! There is also a very cute friendly dog called Sushi who loves customers :) Nong was very sociable and also provided us with a 12 hour private tour of Khao Yai national park where we were able to see elephants and monkeys in their natural habitat for a very reasonable price of 5500baht

The owner is very friendly. Had an amazing conversation with him. He is helpful, and the vibe is very relaxed. It is truly a great place to take a break in nature. A great place if you use his services to go to the national park.

It is a bit of a walk to the town or to restaurants. There are local foods nearby, though, and Grubhub delivers to the location, which was great.

Great host - helpful and took us on a great tour which ended with a delicious meal and a walk around the night market. Although basic accommodation it was very good value for money. Mr Nong (not sure of the spelling) was very keen to make sure our tour was as good as it could be...always hard with wildlife! We did manage to see an elephant!

The breakfast was simple which was not a problem but a personal thing for me would be it being served and us told so I could enjoy it hot. Or maybe a little variation...however this would not stop me from saying I had a great stay!

The host was very friendly and made us breakfast every morning. We booked the Khao Yai tour with him as a guide and we even saw elephants!! We were very lucky and he always made sure that we were having a good time. We really loved staying at the hostel. The host picked us up from the train station and drove us back there when we left for free. He even drove us to the night market.

the hostel is no frills, as the price reflects, but it is clean and everything you need including all the littlest water you can drink is provided. breakfast was ready at time that worked for me. the owner was amazing at putting together a Khoi Yai National park tour I will never forget! lots of animals, beautiful scenery, and great food throughout the day. his local knowledge added a whole other dimension to my stay that you just don’t find in bigger hotel properties/tours.

Mr. Nong is the best host, helping you out with everything you need, sharing his stories and takes you on a great tour through the jungle. We loved our stay here. The hostel is quiet, relaxed and his little dog Sushi welcomes you everytime you come in!
