This Thai/Dutch-run spot has an exclusive feel. Set in a semiwild garden, all 12 cottages are sumptuously decorated with Thai sculpture and fabrics and brooding oxblood walls. Amenities include fridges and flat-screen TVs. Two are designed for families and sleep up to six people. It's 13km northwest of town, 1.5km off the road to Erawan National Park.
Unsurprisingly, it's often full, so book well in advance.
