I had an amazing experience at 500 Rai Floating Resort. The location is stunning, nestled in the heart of nature with breathtaking views. The staff were incredibly attentive and the accommodations were cozy and clean. However, I did find the pricing for meals a bit on the higher end, and the restaurant's menu could use more variety. Overall, it's a unique getaway that truly immerses you in nature but be prepared for some extra costs.

I had an unforgettable stay at this resort! The staff were incredibly kind and engaging, especially with my kids, who absolutely loved spending time with them. While the rooms were spacious and comfortable, they lacked privacy which was a bit disappointing. The food was mostly good, with plenty of Thai options, but nothing overly gourmet. Overall, it was a great experience with beautiful scenery, but there were a few drawbacks to consider.
