In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The star of Kirin Sky is the rooms: every one has a hot tub set up to face the mountains. Couples can soak in the warm water against the winter chill while looking out at the hills, and the rooms are angled toward the sunrise — wake up and you catch the first light of the day straight from bed. Plenty of couples come away loving that.
Because the place only opened recently, everything in the rooms and the building still feels brand-new. The beds and sofas are comfortable, the bathrooms are roomy, and the Wi-Fi and Netflix run smoothly.
Food and amenities
Breakfast is another thing guests agree on — the kitchen changes the menu every day and sends it out generous, so even over several nights it never gets old. Filling, and the flavors land.
There's also a bar and an evening lounge area where couples can sit with a drink in the cool air and take in the view together.
Location and getting there
Kirin Sky sits on a hillside in Khao Kho, fairly far from town, and the approach is a steep climb. A sedan can make it, but drive carefully — especially at night. There's also no convenience store nearby, so it's worth bringing snacks.
The resort is about 6 km from the main sea-of-mist viewpoint, so if you want to see the mist you'll need to drive out to it.
Things to know before booking
The trade-offs are practical. The road up is steep and the resort is set away from any shops, so a car is more or less required and a late-night supply run is a chore. The main viewpoints are a 6 km drive off, so this is a base you head out from rather than a doorstep to the mist. None of that dents the in-room experience, but it's worth knowing.
Our take
Kirin Sky Resort is best for budget-minded couples who like a newly opened place, want a hot tub in the room, and want to wake up to the sunrise from bed together. At roughly $54 to $109 a night, it's very good value at this price.
