Chaiya Holidays from AU$1,987

We loved this resort. Fabulous location right in the middle of the village. Walking distance to multiple restaurants, shops and bars. The restaurant and rooms and pool set back from the road in stunning tropical surroundings. Staff so friendly and welcoming and helped us with organising activities and taxis . Our room was compact but clean with great amenities such as hanging racks, complimentary snacks, coffee and tea facilities. A nice big bed and bunks for our son. Great aircon. Massage available onsite too! We would definitely stay here again

This property is in a great location within Khao Sok, and just a stone throw from the National Park entrance. Khao Sok itself is like a one horse street, more like a strip, that houses all of the accommodation, restaurants and bars. The advantage is that everywhere was easily accessible on foot. The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly, polite and accommodating. Our room was overlooking the river, where we saw monkeys swinging through the trees in the morning - it was an amazing setting and gave the feeling of being right in the middle of the jungle. The way all of the rooms are set out is very clever, it gives the feeling of real individuality and seclusion. We ate breakfast here, which is all waiter service. You get to choose set items from the menu. The room had a fridge, but no safe. The room size was good, with an area for dining. The bed was comfortable and overall, was more than adequate for our needs on a 3 night stay. We would definitely consider staying here again should we revisit Khao Sok in the future.

We spent a peaceful long weekend at Racha Kiri Resort & Spa Khanom, and it was an ideal escape for my mother and me. The private villas offered real privacy and comfort, with sun-lit terraces and, in our case, a relaxing pool—perfect for casual chats and slow mornings. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, making every interaction warm and seamless from check-in to departure. The spa was a highlight—professional Thai-inspired treatments in a calm, soothing setting that felt like a mini retreat in itself. Dining was satisfying, with a mix of Thai and international flavors and a focus on fresh ingredients. The resort sits on a quiet stretch of Khanom Beach, so early walks at sunrise or a lazy afternoon by the water were all part of the experience. If you’re after a refined, low-key beachfront stay with spa time and a serene pace, this is a wonderful choice for a two-generation getaway. Note: it’s a bit secluded, so plan transfers and any extra excursions accordingly.
