What a find! As we arrived at the Maekok River Village Resort, we were met by owners/managers Bryan and Rosie Massingham who had designed and built the entire Resort just three years previously on what used to be abandoned paddy fields.
The Resort, which borders the Maekok River, is surrounded by beautiful gardens, full of tropical plants with bougainvillea and...

Maekok River Resort - Outstanding hospitality, beautifully designed rooms and a mixture of accommodation to suit all. The most delicious Thai food (and so much to choose from). Well planned activities with great leaders - We opted for a bike ride through the local village and further along through the dirt roads surrounded by the beautiful coriander fields. Along with...

We attended a wedding at the resort at the end of December 2011. The comfortable rooms are located in beautiful gardens with views towards the river and mountains. The rooms are spacious with a private terrace and furnished with taste and enhanced by little touches such as frangipani flowers and coffee/tea making facilities.
The standard catering was good - especially...

My fiancé and I attended a wedding in December last year at the Maekok River Village Resort enjoying outstanding facilities and service during our stay. The wedding location was perfect in the beautiful gardens of the Resort looking out. There were many options in regards to food; however I must say that the local northern Thai style food offered by...

Dear Brock,
Many thanks for taking the time to review us. Your comments were similar to many of the guests and we were delighted that we were able to provide such a memorable occasion. Many people also noted that it was a perfect wedding venue and a very different alternative to the usual Phuket / Koh Samui style. We thus...

A perfect place to rest and relax. Very nice and comfortable rooms, very well laid-out, with a lot of space to put your stuff, especially in the bathroom. Amazing garden, though not very suitable for children (it would be nice to have some not-so-beautiful area where they could run and play). Good restaurant. Only 2 (minor) negatives : they don’t...

Thank you for taking the time to review our resort and delighted that overall you were more than happy with your stay with us. Regarding the 'soap issue', we do have shower gel which we think most people use instead of soap, but will consider placing two soaps in the future. For children, we do feel that the gardens even...

Are you looking for Shangri-la?
If so, then MRVR is the nearest to Shangri-la you will find in Northern Thailand.
We stayed at MRVR for 10 days, starting with a beautiful 2.5 hours local long boat trip on the Maekok River from Chang Rai. It was a very precious journey, with beautiful aromatic smells of flowers & wood fire, you...

We did enjoy having you here and appreciated the way you felt 'at home' and which of course allowed you to fully relax. Our chefs were very...

We only stayed for one night on a round trip - and I was sorry we couldn't stay longer! The resort is new, very clean, and in a nice and quiet location. We stayed in one of the bungalows which was very spacious with our own terrace and garden, and many little details in the room which made me feel...

Thanks for this comment. Indeed your comment reflects what almost everybody else tells us, and that is 'I wish we had stayed longer'. We are however delighted that various tour operators have changed their programmes so that their guests do get to stay two nights. So the word is getting out!!

Spent 5 nights at MRVR with our 2 boys aged 13 and 10. Great place to stay as a family, with plenty to keep the boys busy, including some mixing in with international schools staying at the outdoor center. Very nicely presented and comfortable connecting rooms, one having a double and the other twin beds.
Activities included trecking, tubing down...
