In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The standout for couples is the Modern Deluxe room, which comes fully kitted out: a private balcony to sit out in the cool mountain air together, an in-room bathtub for a warm soak to take the chill off, and a hammock strung up out front to lie back and sway while you watch the hills. The look is modern loft — exposed concrete cut with wood — which photographs well as a couple and feels more designed than the price suggests. If the bathtub and hammock are what you came for, book the Modern Deluxe specifically, because the other room types are fitted out differently.
Food and amenities
Mornings are easy: you can eat breakfast with the mountain view right outside your room, which a lot of couples here say they loved. For dinner, the resort runs a moo-kratha (Thai BBQ) service you can order and gather around on the grounds — a good couple's meal without having to go anywhere. Every room has a heater, which matters a lot on cold Khao Kho nights, and there is free Wi-Fi and parking. One thing to flag up front: there is no pool.
Location and getting there
Sunset Resort sits in Khao Kho, close to Khao Kho National Park — just a few minutes' drive — which makes it a handy base for couples who want to get out into nature. The trade-off is that it is not on a summit, so if you want the full, clear sea of mist, you will need to get up early and drive out to a viewpoint.
Things to know before booking
Three honest points. First, because it is not on a high ridge, the sea-of-mist view is not right outside your door — plan an early drive for that. Second, there is no pool on-site. Third, winter nights and early mornings get very cold up here, so pack warm layers even if you are visiting from somewhere milder. Staff, for what it is worth, get steady praise for being friendly and helpful.
Our take
Sunset Resort Khaokho is for couples who want a modern room with an in-room bathtub at a price they can actually reach — somewhere around $51 to $100 a night. It is a romantic stay that delivers more feeling than its rate would suggest, and the best-value pick on this list if you do not mind driving out for the big mist views.

Insider Tips
- Book the Modern Deluxe room specifically — it is the one with the in-room bathtub and the hammock reviewers mention.
- Order the evening moo-kratha (Thai BBQ) to share — it is a service guests single out.
