Khao Phra Thaeo nationalpark

Room: We are staying at the Beach Cottage, which is the furthest from the restaurant - I believe in row 3 behind the Beachfront Cottages and just behind the gym. We really like the room, it is incredibly spacious, the mattress is quite hard (which is excellent for my back) and everything is kept clean. Yes, housekeeping doesn't deep-clean all surfaces every day, but you always have a clean bed, clean floor, new towels, new mosquito spray, and free water. Pool: You get to rent pool floats, such as a large Flamingo and some others. The pool is incredibly large and has the option to even swim up to the Crocodile Beach Bar to order some drinks while enjoying being in the water. Garden: The garden and facilities are beautiful and there are always people who keep them in great shape. In the garden you will find geckos, birds, frogs, and even some cats. We saw the cutest mama cat and her kittens playing in the garden. We love cats and thank the hotel that they don't get rid of them or treat them as a pest. We also saw a green thin snake next to the walkway. Welcome to the tropics! Animals: We are extremely pro animal safety and we would have made a big scene if we saw any animals being mistreated on the property. But not so. The animal handler is extremely nice to guests and while his English is not perfect, he answers all questions you may have about these animals. Twice a day, he feeds the turtles, the rabbits, and the birds, and you are able to interact with them.
