Good atmosphere , food is delicious & staff are friendly & good service mind. Good location next to Khong river. Recommend this place is the good choice & privacy

The remoteness and gorgeous scenery made this a special stay. The 165 steep steps up the hill were totally worth it!! This is the rainy season and you’re really in nature so it shouldn’t be a surprise but there were lots of dead and living ants so if you’re squeamish about ants, just be warned. We loved our stay, though!

Awesome place at the banks of the Mekong. The area is so vast you can get lost a whole day. The villas riverside a wonderfully decorated, with outside relaxing area and a very comfy bed. Dinner is early but excellent. Very nice people add to the great experience. We'll be back

Friendly people, nice breakfast/lunch area with views on the Mekong. The best food, with a lot of vegetables, very tasteful and wel organized when brought to house in the evening. We were a bit disappointed about the ricefields (just a small piece was planted with rice, the rest was not in use) and the details of the house. For this amount of money we would expect a bit more luxury on the balcony (no cushions on beds for example) and better decoration of the house. There we’re no ‘working’ bikes as mentioned on the websites.

Rai Saeng Arun is set outside the small town of Chiang Khong and extends from the Mekong River, through rice paddies, and up a forested hill. The 14 wooden bungalows are simple and tasteful. The luxury here is in the location and the attention to small things - the peaceful ambience of the river and forest, fresh produce from their own immaculate gardens, and excellent central Thai cooking. We found this to be a perfect place to which to return after exploring places such as Chiang Saen, for an early dinner on the balcony of the hillside bungalow overlooking the Mekong Valley & hills of Laos, transitioning into a starry night (there is no light pollution). Yes, it is slightly strenuous to reach the hill bungalows (staff carry your luggage & dinner up the hill at your request), but the result is that you are set in the forest with no other people within sight or hearing. The included breakfast is simple and adequate. The Thai soup option is very tasty. For our taste, this resort was absolutely charming.
