The city noise diminishes behind us as the calm atmosphere at Ban Pako is reached.  fter arrival and check in at Ban Pako you have some free time - why not enjoy a tasty lunch in the restaurant by the river.

In the afternoon you get to enjoy the Jungle Bath, just a short forest walk from the lodge. Relax in the herbal sauna and go for a refreshing dip in the small spring water pool. After this refreshing experience awaits a traditional ao massage.

In the evening, why not try the speciality red curry at the in-house restaurant or taste the locally prepared edicinal lao lao by the bonfire, or simply retire to your private bungalow under the starlit sky .

Ban Thakhai where three ethnic minorities live together in a population of only 25 families.
