Fern Resort

Delightful

What we say:

This delightful spot is well out of the way but certainly worth the effort of getting to. It has great rooms, a nice restaurant and bar, campfire area and swimming pool as well as lots of local hiking, so once there you don't really need to move for a few days. Address is still Pha Bong Village but it's quite a way from the village itself. You need to get back on the main Mae Hong Son -- Mae Sariang highway and then take the turn off to the East towards Nam Tok Mae Surin National Park. That side track will take you up a scenic valley through wooded hills to the large and well organised Fern Resort. It's all very tastefully laid out with chalets scattered around a well tended garden and smart reception and cafe areas. Eco-tourism figures prominently in their blurb, an eco tourism resort for nature lovers, so there's plenty of information on the surrounding area, flora and fauna and local Karen hill tribe people. (Indeed most of their staff are Karen people from local villages.) Bungalows are well designed and comfortable with air-con and hot showers but a deliberate no TV policy! All good stuff and a delightful spot to while away a few days.

beautiful garden pavillons

There are spacious pavillons in a beautiful garden,in the centre was even a paddy field. The staff is very friendly and i think most of them are hilltribe people from the villages. We went on a walkig-tour and had our own guide/guard-dogs with us.

loved it

it has been awhile since our stay, but I just realized I'd never left a review... gorgeous, well-kept grounds and lovely staff made our short stay very pleasant, wished we could have stayed longer, but had to move on down the trail. Lovely pool provided welcome respite from the April heat. Food was very good at both the resort and at the sister restaurant in town. Great day hiking in the surrounding National Park, and were accompanied part way by the friendly dogs, always up for a walk. Only downside is the distance from town, and the free shuttle ended too early to make a night in town dining/drinking. We got very attractive rates on Agoda (formerly Precision), well worth the money and would love to go back one day.

Best Place Ever!!

This place was absolutely amazing! Of all the places we stayed at during our Thailand visit, the Fern resort had the best service, accomodation and beauty. We hooked up with one of their guides, Panot, who took us on a long trek and had great relationships with the various hill tribes in the area. He was also knowledgeable about hidden caves and other non-touristy destinations. A rating of 10 is not enough for this place!
