We enjoyed the remoteness of 500 Rai and the beautiful views. The prices were high for things like alcohol, adventures and massage but overall worth it. I appreciated that they changed out everyone’s bamboo docks since when we first arrived they were very slippery and sinking/unable to hold weight. They allowed us to apply our adventure price to our big money promo which was not expected and very nice.
