In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Rounding out the list at #9, Khaokho Talaypu Resort is a cottage resort in the Thung Samo area of Khao Kho, with a real-guest review score of about 8.4/10 — a low-key, simple-but-romantic pick for laid-back couples who like quiet countryside. The cabins are scattered across the meadow and tree line, and the interiors turn out more modern than the rustic exterior suggests: clean, well looked-after, with the warm feel of a holiday cottage. For couples, the Deluxe room is the one to get — its balcony opens straight out over the plains and the wide grass fields, an easy place to sit with morning coffee.
Food and amenities
What stands out here is that the resort runs its own restaurant plus an organic shop, with an organic menu to choose from — a good fit for health-minded couples who want fresh food close to the source. The rate includes breakfast, and the place is pet-friendly, so couples who want to bring the dog or cat along can — a perk you don't find often around here.
Location and getting there
Talaypu sits in the Thung Samo area of Khao Kho, in genuine rural countryside — quiet enough that you might still catch wildlife wandering past now and then. Because it's out in nature, you'll want your own car to drive to the highlands' viewpoints and cafes.
Things to know before booking
This is a simple cottage stay, not a luxury resort, so come for the setting rather than the polish. There's no public transport out here — a car is effectively required. And since the cabins are set right in the open, bring insect repellent, because bugs are possible.
Our take
Khaokho Talaypu Resort works best for laid-back couples who'd take quiet rural calm and an organic restaurant over resort glitz. With rates around $49 to $100 a night, it's a simple, good-value romantic option — just book a Deluxe room for that meadow balcony and bring the car.
