Saengcha Farm Resort

I chose to stay here for 3 reasons: the excellent reviews, pet dogs, and homemade chocolate! It was the best choice. From the moment Munin the owner, picked me up from Bangkok, we got on very well, and I can honestly say that from being a guest here, we are very good friends. I love my little bungalow, everything I need: comfy double bed, table and chairs, a small fridge, bedside table, efficient air-conditioning even when it's very hot outside. Hot water always available for showering. It's very peaceful here, very little traffic On my first day Munin took us on a tour around the farm explaining the chocolate making process from cacao bean to chocolate bar. Next week I shall have a go at making my own chocolate. Excellent coffee and chocolate drinks to die for in the Coffee Shop.the Mexican Chocolate drink is to die for! Self-service breakfast of Chinese donuts, toast, jam, butter, instant coffee or tea. ( I always start the day with the 'real thing') Traditional Thai breakfast also available. Munin's brother is a superb chef, making tasty Thai dishes to order. Small shop across the road selling basics, but Munin will drive guests into the city, Prachin Buri, on request. Interesting places to visit: world famous homeopathic pharmacy situated in a beautiful building that has a history of its own. After a day exploring at Khao Yai national park we stopped at a night market to look around and try different Thai food. Very useful having Munin as a guide/translator! It's also possible to accompany him when he walks his 4 gorgeous dogs in the evening. There is also bike hire , the roads are very good, well-surfaced. I'm staying here for one month, have enjoyed every day. Coming back in October. Thoroughly recommend .

Saengcha resort is a family run resort and there is absolute personalised service from Munin, the owner and his brother! The breakfast is excellent and they will even cook excellent local meals on request. Munin also runs an agar wood essential oil factory and a cocoa factory shott distance off premise. It was so interesting getting to know the process of making essential oil and chocolates respectively from Munin. We stayed there as we wanted to go Khao Yai national park. We didn't have a car and Munin planned a marvellous itinerary for us at khao yai and drove us around the entire day(for a very reasonable fee). We trekked in designated treks (munin dropped us off and picked us up at the other side of the trek), even saw wild elephants and that was the super highlight of the trip. He loaned us bicycles to cycle around to the nearby waterfalls and we had quite an adventure getting lost... but it was plenty of fun. On the whole the experience created by Munin and his brother made a superb memorable trip! Very highly recommend you entrust your holiday to his hospitable and personalised self! He arranged to have us sent back to bangkok too.

Saengcha resort was one of the most cozy places we stayed during our 4 month trip in SE Asia. This all thanks to the complete staff, that made us feel at home from the initial moment we arrived per train from Poipet. Munin (owner) took us for a walk with the kids. He also took us as a driver through the beautiful Khao Yai National Park. Finally, he took us to Songkran (Thai New year), preceded with a ceremony in the local Thai temple. Thanks to all this, we experienced a truly authentic stay in rural Thailand, something we didn’t experience before. There are no places to eat on walking distance but the food prepared at Saengcha resort is delicious local Thai food. The bungalows themselves are clean and basic, with good AC. I highly recommend!
