What a nice little paradise just outside Luang Prabang. I immedatiately fell in love with this beautiful place on a very nice riverbank, full of nature and peace. It is not also a great option beside or instead a stay in the middle of Laos' touristic maintown Luang Prabang, you are also close to many activities and sightseeings in the nature, at the villages around and on the rivers. Somlid took us to an easy hike in the woods just around the village and told us a lot about the country life, plants and wildlife in Laos. Not to forget the lunch by the fire with a very nice view. He also introduced us to the beautiful temples and pagodes of Luang Prabang, the towns history and the Buddhist rituals. After I spent my first night in one of the bungalows, surrounded by the sounds of nature – I felt like never wanted to leave again ... ;-) The resort offred more, than I wished for: those very cozy bungalows with clean water, a perfect shower and a very nice terrace, a lot of tasty and healthy homemade food and Nina gave me one of the nicest massages I ever experienced. I also enjoyed a cooking class with Somlid and feel inspired until today. So many thanks to all of the family for this unforgettable memories!

Fantastic, authentic, and relaxing stay where we got the chance to learn about Lao life on the countryside including fishing, weaving, medicinal plants and much more. Delicious (home-cooked) Lao food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. What one wanted to do, was up to oneself; either choose to relax on your own veranda or join in on activities, spend time with the family, ..It was exactly what we had hoped to find to end our trip in Lao plus quite a bit extra. We can only highly recommend staying with Nina, Somlid and their kids (+ dogs, cats, chickens, ..) especially if you are looking for a quiet, authentic Luang Prabang (family) getaway :)

Das erste Mal in Asien! Wir wurden von Nina, Zone und den Kindern am Flughafen abgeholt und so herzlich empfangen. Das Bungalow erfüllte alle Wünsche und der erste servierte Morgenkaffe war Luxus pur. Danke für eure Gastfreundschaft. Die wunderbaren Massagen unter freiem Himmel. Das wunderbare Essen und die tollen Ausflüge die wir miteinander ausgesucht haben. Der Sonnenuntergang auf dem Mekong bleibt unvergesslich. Ich werde wieder kommen! Brigitte

I was lucy to be invited to my sisters place in Laos, to a little village called Ban-syo., 1/2 hours drive from Loang Prabang. I was very interested to learn more about the culture, and the use of nature, in their everyday living. Just by luck we met Nina and Somlid and their family there, and was invited to learn so much about the culture, the way of living, the way of using nature in so many ways. I got so inspired, then we was invited to get a guided tour to a orange farm, it was SO exciting the whole way, from the first footstep into the little village, along the river, learning about farming, and the use of plants and trees we passed. we went trough the wild jungle, passed a small etnic village, and ended up at the orange farm, there we could pick oranges right from the trees. what a treat 👍, I was aspesially interested to learn about the use of bamboo, and how to make use of it ( i have alot of that in my own garden i Norway). It was amazing to watch Somlids knowledge in the field, and I got so inspired, what a gate way for me to learn . 🙏Thank you ever so much, nb anyone whos interested in a guided trip to learn about culture and nature, visit them in Saneehaa. 👍 best wishes from Tonni from Norway

Ich war letztes Jahr im Februar bei Somlid und seiner Familie auf Besuch. Es war eine sehr eindrucksvolle, pure und herzliche Erfahrung. Somlid zeigte mir die Gegend in der er aufgewachsen ist. Zu sehen wie pur die Leute da immer noch leben war für mich schon die erfahrung wert.
Wir haben da neben den Reis Feldern von einem frisch gepflückten Bananenblatt Mittag gegessen, sind mit einem Boot den Fluss hoch und runter gefahren, haben im Fluss gebadet und auf dem Weg leute beobachtet, die Goldschürften. Bei einer kleinen Fluss Mündung haben wir angehalten und sind den Fluss hoch gelaufen - Natur pur.
Somlid hat mir viel über die Pflanzen, Früchte und die Gegend allgemein erklärt.
Ich hatte einen tolle Zeit mit Somlid und seiner Familie und bin froh diese Gelegenheit gehabt zu haben, um Laos auf diese autentiche art kennen zu lernen.
