The Bantak House is one of those hard to find, yet oh-so special places. Good food and friendly service in a relaxed atmosphere and homely teak wood accommodation set on the river bank in one of Thailand ‘s most beautiful, yet to be discovered places. The owner operators have opened their doors to welcome travellers interested in a tranquil retreat away from the modern world with the opportunity to take a step back in time to the days of Mahouts and elephants as the only means of travel through the swollen rivers and rugged terrain.
