The setting and surroundings are beautiful and peaceful but what makes this hotel truly unique and unforgettable are the owners and staff. Ian, Vassana, Nan and crew really make you feel welcome and at ease. My 3 days at the Viang Yonok are something I will never forget. My bungalow was comfortable, quiet and tastefully decorated. The hotel grounds are... More

What should we say about Viang Yonok? It was a big surprise. We got the place recommended by a friend who had a stay there a view days ago and told us, the Viang Yonok is a MUST! After a long day on our motorbike we finally reached the Resort, it is a bit outside the city near a nice... More

Our first trip to Thailand (to meet up with our adult son who lives in HK), a wonderful experience from the moment we were met by Chai at the airport. Nothing was too much trouble. A beautiful location, calm, the peace only broken by the wonderful birdsong all around, it was a perfect place to stay. The accommodation was comfortable... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay here before our boat trip down the Mekong. Ian and Vassana treated us as friends rather than hotel guests. They went out of their way to show us the region. Ian took us on an all day trip through the mountains up to and along the Burma border, finishing at a unique and fascinating... More

Hi AussieVick, That's a great review, thank you very much indeed. Yes, I suppose we are a bit homestay-like in our way of operating. Friendliness seems to work with most people.....

Viang Yonok is a wonderful hotel with small, private comfortable bungalows. The location is remote, and unless you want to visit local sites (the hotel is very close to the Golden Triangle of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar), you can curl up with a good book and enjoy the hotel's excellent cuisine. If you do want to tour the area, there... More
