Off the beaten track - in style!
Between three small rural villages, Gecko Villa nestles amongst paddy fields in Thailand's Isaan plateau. During your next holiday, why not make Gecko Villa your own house, rather than restricting yourself to a hotel? In the rural heartlands of Thailand's Northeast (yet easily accessible by road, rail or air), relax amongst the emerald paddy fields, and savour the forgotten rhythms of rural life. We take every measure to ensure that your stay is a memorable one. We offer you a rare opportunity to escape from the homogoneity of impersonal hotel rooms, and to immerse yourself in this unspoiled & undiscovered region of Thailand. Choose complete privacy, making this unique spacious Villa and private pool your own. Or allow us to show you the area, cook Thai food for you and introduce you to the ways of life here. Enjoy the luxury of your secluded retreat: an experience unique in the Kingdom!

A private farm
Privacy is assured at your own Villa in the midst of the rice paddies! Just relax, or adventure into the traditions of the surrounding villages. Gecko is set in over 60,000sqm of private grounds, with a walled garden and a large variety of mango, banana, passion fruit and other plants including chillis, papaya, galangal, herbs and more! There is a large air-conditioned Master Bedroom with teak King Sized bed, en suite toilet & sink, and adjoining garden shower. The second air-conditioned bedroom also has an en suite bathroom and shower. The large air-conditioned living & dining room, with Satellite TV (BBC, CNN, TV5 etc.), CD player and sound system, has extensive wooden decks and outside seating. Additional sleeping arrangements can also be made here. The Villa has a fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, freezer, kettle, coffee maker, hob and oven. Outdoor barbecues can also be arranged. Your own pool is finished in hand-made tiles, in mottled hues of green from celadon to emerald. Tailor made stays Guests can either choose total privacy, or may wish to integrate fully into local life. The choice is yours. We will be happy to show you how to cook Thai food, concocting sumptuous dishes you can later recreate at home. Go walking (or take our bicycles) and explore the surroundings, rich in temples & villages, lakes & farms, and the listed wetlands of Nong Harn. Help us plant or harvest the green or golden rice fields - some local rice whisky may help you along. Or fish at the large nearby lake and photograph original scenes & characters. Watch the rocket festival; experience giving alms to the monks; try riding a water buffalo, Mor Lam dancing, or a traditional massage. And if learning our language and culinary secrets gets tiring, enjoy our food and rice whisky and listen by your pool as cicadas take the pulse of the night...
