Moon River Resort Phimai

Nakhon Ratchasima Province


This Thai-German-run guesthouse is in an almost rural location on the north bank of the river (where you can swim) and features simple but good wooden and concrete cabins. They're surrounded by greenery and connected by a cool boardwalk. It's just outside town off the road to Khorat, 1km from the historical park entrance. Guests can hire bikes and motorcycles.
