45. Cho Lae

We checked out of the hotel and went for a walk to grab some food before our taxi ride to Cho Lae. It's really difficult getting transport around here, and not many taxi drivers are prepared to drive out of the city. A lot of time passed trying to barter with taxi drivers on the "grab" app, we had no choice but to go with a driver who charged us 900 baht ( about 20 gbp - super expensive!).
Both so happy with this resort, we managed to find a luxury room with a huge discount. There's a sofa and a small kitchen area, as well as a balcony over looking the river.
The man that owns this place is German, and has built this resort up over 30 years. There's a restaurant, swimming pool, ponds filled with Koi Carp and a snug little tree house filled with bean bags. The whole garden feels so tropical and jungly, frogs and butterflies everywhere. A really unique and relaxed place.
After getting unpacked and showered, we enjoyed a red curry for dinner and had a relatively early night in the hope of going out to do some sight seeing tomorrow.Read more
