Lizangelica United States of America

What a stunning hotel. The boattrip on the longtail boat to reach the hotel adds to the experience. Once you arrive you see these beautiful boathouses in the River Kwai. Staff is super friendly. Opening the doors to your room for the first time just make you feel speechless for a moment. Truly the nicest and romantic room I've ever stayed add. The food at the hotel is very good and the staff is more then just nice. Traveled with my two daughters and they couldn't have been more excited to stay at this stunning location. We only stayed for 2 nights but we recommend it to anyone who wants to visit this part of thailand.
