This was our second stay at Gecko. Our first stay was such an incredible experience where we met and got to know Ten & Euang, experienced the local village first hand and met a lot of the locals, sat and chatted with the monks in the local Wat and even got caught up in the 'after school' scooter rush hour.... more

We're from France and stayed at Gecko villa for 5 days. We have loved everything : the beautiful villa, well decorated, the pool where we had a lot of fun with the kids, the food ( Ten and Euang are great cooks, we really liked discovering new dishes every day), the peacefulness, there's not much to do around except walk... more

We spent five nights in the Gecko Villa and cannot praise it enough. On day 1 Ten met us at Udon Thani airport. From there it's a 45 minutes drive right into the rice paddies. There we were greeted by a very tasty dinner, provided by Ten's wife, who is an excellent cook. The following days Ten took us to... more

We stayed at Gecko Villa having been recommended by friends. We took a budget flight from Bangkok to Udon Thani - about USD30 for a 50 minute flight. Recommend either Air Asia or Nok Air, but you can fly Thai too. Ten who runds the property with his wife, collected us at the airport. By booking at gecko Villa we... more
