Fodor's Expert Review Maekok River Village Resort

This remarkable resort, a combination of hotel and outdoor education center, is in a beautiful Kok River location with sweeping views of the winding waterway, rice paddies, maize fields, orchards, and mountains beyond. The rooms are modern and the villas have built-in teak furniture. The education center, which attracts young people from throughout the world, is part of the same complex but with separate facilities and grounds.
