Description

Baantantara is a boutique, homestay-style nature resort beside the Phachi River, with mature shade trees and well-kept lawns. The atmosphere is peaceful and unhurried.

Accommodation consists of detached bungalows and family houses, such as Thara, Thanthip and Thanpruksa. Each has air conditioning, a private bathroom, and a balcony or patio facing the garden or the river.

The resort provides non-motorised water activities, including paddle boats and rubber rings for wading in the calm, shallow river. Guests may bring their own ingredients to use the barbecue and outdoor cooking facilities, or arrange local food deliveries.
