Kachonghills Tented Resort Trang

My stay at Kachong Hills Tented Resort is easily one of the best holidays I've had. The hotel is done up so tastefully and the service was also fantastic - all of the staff were extremely personable and thoughtful - I felt extremely taken care of. I stayed in the marquee tent as well as the double room (with mountain view) - completely different experiences but fantastic all the same. The visit to the waterfalls next door (in the Botanic Gardens) is also a must. There isn't much to do in the area but it doesn't matter: this is a perfect place to just unwind, recharge and enjoy the peace and quiet. I wish I could stay longer. I will definitely be back. PS: I travelled solo but felt very safe!

Myself and my son were on a vacation starting in Phillipines.. onto Malaysia and finishing off in Thailand. We arrived in Phuket staying one night.. the following morning we drove to Krabi staying 3 nights and then we continued our journey to Trang. We booked 2 nights at Kachonghills. As soon as we arrived we were blown away by the entrance and reception area.. such exquisite design with elegant and stunning furnishings. The reception staff were warm and welcoming, offering us a welcome drink. We were given a free upgrade. The reception staff helped take our luggage to our room. They showed us how to operate the doors and blinds etc. The room had a warm and cosy feel to it.. equipped with everything and more that you would need for a comfortable stay. We had a walk around the grounds which are very well maintained. We followed the pathway which led us to a lovely river with stunning views of the mountains. Later we went to the restaurant and ordered a few different dishes to try. The food.. the flavours.. the freshness.. the portion size were absolutely amazing.. compliments to the chef. The waitresses were so tentative ensuring we enjoyed our dining experience and we certainly did. My son is an Explorer and loves looking for wildlife at night. Mik was genuinely concerned about my sons safety and sent one of his staff to escort him whilst he explored the grounds and surrounding areas ❤️ The following morning we went for breakfast and WOW!! What a buffet experience that was! I especially liked the chargrill bowl to toast bread and croissants. You could had the option to order a freshly hot made western or Thai breakfast along side the buffet. The buffet consisted of so many different fresh fruits and vegetables. We headed back to our room where we encountered an issue with the air-conditioning. I called reception to report the issue and within 5 mins staff appeared and tried their very best to resolve the issue however the aircon couldn't be fixed.

Liked everything about the property. The staff on arrival were amazing and continued to be great throughout our stay. Special thanks to Jenny and Mam. We booked a basic tent but were given an option to upgrade to an explorer tent for a very small fee and we were not disappointed. The view was spectacular and the room had everything one would need. Our children loved the free roaming sheep to stroke and the horse and cats. Lovely stream to play in. The food at the restaurant was better then any restaurant we have eaten at in Phuket and we have lived there for 11 years. The children had an amazing time playing with others children around the fire at night whilst roasting marshmallows. They said it was the best place they’ve ever been. We explored waterfalls and cliffs near by.

We upgraded to one of their 'tree house' rooms and these rooms are fantastic, like waking up in the jungle. The staff were excellent and provided a free taxi shuttle to the botanical park 5 minutes away. The park is free to visitors after 3 and well worth a visit as it has a huge waterfall running through it which was great fun to explore. Food standards and choices were very high and the views from the dining room balcony across the mountains were special. A 30 minute taxi ride from Trang Airport.

Hidden Gem near Trang town. Initially was not expecting much but realised that its was a great catch. Good option to stop on the way to Krabi or Phuket. Service by all staff is impeccable and sincere. Nice place to just relax and spend time in the nature. We really enjoyed the trip to the waterfall area and the staff were so kind to pack our afternoon tea snacks and bought it along to the waterfall area. Special shoutout to Ms. Jenny, hospitality from her is top notch.. will be back again soon to tryout other rooms.
