Kachonghills Tented Resort Trang0

Such a beautiful resort in a beautiful area! We were given a free upgrade to a fancier tent that overlooked the river. The room was clean, large, and the bed was sooo comfortable. The staff were absolutely amazing and really went above and beyond to make sure you had everything you needed. The food was great, especially the breakfasts. This was a splurge on our backpacking trip and worth every penny!

Not really a fault of the resort, but the crazy winds/rain made it hard to sleep since it was very loud on the tent. Would opt for a room in the building next time or double check the weather before going.

We upgraded to one of their 'tree house' rooms and these rooms are fantastic, like waking up in the jungle. The staff were excellent and provided a free taxi shuttle to the botanical park 5 minutes away. The park is free to visitors after 3 and well worth a visit as it has a huge waterfall running through it which was great fun to explore. Food standards and choices were very high and the views from the dining room balcony across the mountains were special. A 30 minute taxi ride from Trang Airport.

Watch out for the sheep droppings, although the sheep were very friendly !!

We couldn’t have dreamt of a better experience through our entire time at Ka Chong Hills. Upon our late arrival we were warmly greeted, upgraded to an executive explorer suite, and offered dinner even though the restaurant was already closed. The check in was then seamlessly done as we were having food, which was delicious. The next day, we were offered a drive to a nearby waterfall which was lovely and relaxing, although beware of leeches! The staff was beyond helpful when we got some. We then ventured out to have lunch at a nearby restaurant and somehow managed to forget our cash! Again, the same lady working at the hotel (sorry we didn’t get your name) kindly drove to the restaurant, paid our bill and took us back to the hotel! We were then pleasantly surprised with a lovely afternoon tea served on our balcony overlooking the jungle. Beyond how exceptional the staff are, the rooms are simply stunning, beautifully and tactfully decorated to match the environment, in a subtle and understated yet luxurious manner. We loved the outdoor bath and the small touches such a local coffee beans to grind and make coffee with a cafetière. The breakfast was also delicious. We’ll definitely book Ka Chong Hills again for our next trip to Trang!

My family of 4, including kids of 9 and 5 loved this place so much. It was just what we were after, 5 nights of peace and quite amidst a beautiful backdrop. We stayed in family room and pool room which were both furnished to high standards and very comfortable. The food was exceptional, we ate dinner there every night. And the staff were so lovely - from the manager, to reception, to restaurant to cleaners....perfect. They also helped show us around the city...I recommend the caves...very impressive. Botanical garden is 100 metres up road (don't miss the waterfall) and within the hotel grounds (including river frontage - perfect for paddling with kids), i took pictures of around 40 species of bird.

Rode out on a rented motor bike. Stayed in a glamping tent which overlooks green foliage and a little creek. The lights, furniture and wooden doors add charm to the tent. Staff is super friendly and helpful - the manager explained to us about getting to the waterfall and a cave. Our tent has A/C and a fan - fan is much appreciated so we don't need A/C as much. We ate dinner 2 nights - dinner was delicious and we loved sitting outside overlooking the beautiful nature (3 sheep wandered past during dinner). There were real candles in lanterns to light the path and beautiful local greenery/flowers used for decorations. Room/tent is very spacious - we enjoyed being on our back balcony (outside sitting area has a bench as well as small table and chairs). The shower has warm water. The room had complimentary soda, juice and nuts and plentiful complimentary water. We ordered breakfast the night before and then yummy food was delivered to our breakfast table in the morning. There are Western choices as well as local choices and the food is plentiful and delicious. The area is really quiet and peaceful during the day with options to be inside or outside. There are free motorbikes and bicycles available. The staff are very helpful and friendly, they want to ensure guests are happy. 2 miniature horses and 3 sheep live on the property.

The main road is much closer than I thought it would be - can still hear and see some of the road/traffic. The rain shower head has a broken bit so water sprays out of the top - had to use handheld shower head. The bed and pillow a little hard for our tastes - one bed made from 2 smaller beds so there was an uncomfortable middle. The internet was inconsistent, but considering we were there for nature we tried to not be frustrated. We wish there were hammocks there!

The hotel is a 15 minute drive on a straight road from Trang town. The staff were warm and friendly and provided us with welcome drinks (tamarind) upon arrival and goodbye drinks (some kind of roselle blend?) when we left. We were pleasantly surprised to be offered a free room upgrade to the deluxe tents. Loved the views from the room which was spacious. I especially loved how the bedsheets had a silky feel to it. There were thoughtful touches such as providing guests with insect repellent cream packets and ample floor mats. There are resident sheep, some horses and a few dogs roaming around the property. During the night, you get dark starry skies above a oil palm plantation and a campfire surrounded by the marque tents. You can get a great view of the hills by climbing up some stairs to the peak of the hill and watch the sunrise or sunset. The hotel also has an EV charger for guests driving an EV. There is a Thai or Western option for breakfast with quite a spread. Has the potential be a great retreat for a large group of friends. Would definitely consider coming back after all the upgrading works are done.

The shower water pressure was a little on the lower side but that is to be expected I suppose. The shower area was a little worn down but we noticed that they are doing some upgrading works around the rooms and property maybe due to the recent pandemic, which also explains why the spa and wellness centre wasn’t operational during our stay.

Such a beautiful location, tent up in the trees with a fabulous bath on the balcony! Great dishes in the restaurant and little extra flourishes, we felt very well looked after. Our daughter loved playing in the sandy stream in the grounds too.

Having to leave!

Everything was perfect, we were really amazed by the place, the amenities, the beautiful location, the restaurant and the tent was 4 stars. The staff was also very nice and really professionnal, thank you so much to everyone at Kachong Hills !

Entrance not properly marked on google map and Waze (actual entrance is a few meters further down). We ended entering from the back gate meant for construction. However, staff were observation enough to noticed us from the top of the hill.

We had such a great experience at kachong hills, the very best we ever had in our two trips in Thailand. The staff is incredibly welcoming, attentive and professional, they really took good care of us. We loved the decorations, the equipments, the view from the room and the fantastic breakfast. The restaurant is the best bang for the bucks we could find in the area. We loved the place so much we had a difficult time leaving. We will be back for sure.
