Mountains embrace us at Soidao Good View Resort, Chanthaburi.
The name “Khao Soi Dao” might ring a bell for many, yet it might still be unfamiliar to some travelers. When thinking of Chanthaburi, many might immediately think of Chaolao Beach or more prominently, waterfalls. However, another gem in Chanthaburi is its mountains, boasting breathtaking views comparable to those in the northern region. For this stargazing trip, we plan to visit Khao Khitchakut National Park, the Khao Soi Dao Wildlife Sanctuary, and Khao Soi Dao Waterfall. We’ll be staying at the newly opened “Soi Dao Good View Resort” in Chanthaburi.
“Soi Dao Good View Resort” in Chanthaburi is the latest newly opened accommodation. It is situated atop a unique hill. Due to its elevated location, guests can enjoy stunning mountain views with crystal clarity.
The highlight of this place is its expansive swimming pool with a panoramic view of the Phanom Rung Mountains.
For accommodations, there are various options available, starting with the deluxe rooms. These rooms feature spacious balconies with panoramic views and modern interior decoration.
Another deluxe room is located on the third floor.
The family suite consists of two bedrooms, one living room, and spacious interiors. In addition to accommodating up to 2 guests, this suite is also suitable for private social gatherings such as family parties or gatherings with friends. Special rates are available for booking the entire suite directly with the accommodation.
We decided to have dinner at the hotel. The restaurant serves a fusion of Thai and Chinese cuisine, with the recommended dishes being the Braised Pork Leg and Crispy Noodle with Duck. I must say, they are incredibly delicious. The chef must be highly experienced, coming from a renowned hotel.
If you wish to have a romantic atmosphere with a view of the mountains, you can request the staff to arrange a table by the poolside for you.
Here is a beautiful spot to watch the sunset against the backdrop of the mountains. Unfortunately, on the day of our journey, the sky was overcast and there was light rain. Nevertheless, the sun still managed to peek through the clouds to bid us farewell with its last rays of light.
The twilight at the resort, illuminated by the lights, adds another layer of beauty to the accommodation, making it even more picturesque.
Waking up early and walking from the room to the balcony to admire the misty morning, today the mist didn’t form a sea of mist, but rather came in groups floating above the mountains. It felt like the mountains were wearing hats.
If there are few guests, like on regular days during our stay, breakfast may be served à la carte. We had the option to choose from a set menu, which was satisfying and delicious. Additionally, they included a fruit platter with melons. We enjoyed our meal while admiring the mountain view.
