I had a wonderful stay at Chateau Orientale Resort, enjoying the serene atmosphere along the Nam Khan River and the beautifully crafted bungalows. The resort's dedication to ethical tourism, especially in their elephant rescue efforts, was particularly impressive. While the dining experience had its ups and downs, overall, the hikes and e-mountain biking tours were highlights of my visit. Minor downsides included some slow Wi-Fi and a few accessibility challenges due to the terrain.
