Khao Kho Sky Winds

The room is very good for family, the decoration is beautiful and comfortable.

My wife and I stayed at this small boutique-style hotel for 3 nights in early July, 2023 to celebrate my birthday. My wife had stayed there previously with a friend and was fulsome in her praise...and the experience certainly lived up to our expectations. Despite arriving late evening after a longer than expected journey, the owner, Lee, was waiting to welcome us an show us to our room. We had a third floor, mountain view room. The room was large, and contained two very comfortable double beds and a sofa bed. The furniture and fittings were both stylish and luxurious, with many unexpected quality features included. On waking up in the morning, the uninterrupted views to the mountains were truly spectacular, and will live long in the memory...the only physical building in sight being the unique Buddhist temple in the distance. A buffet style breakfast is provided in the restaurant (much more choice than we could cope with), with the owner personally hand to provide a history of the development of Sky Winds, offer advice,and to make us fabulous coffee! Sky Winds is in a very isolated spot. Therein lies much of its charm, but you will certainly need a car or a taxi driver to get there and get around. We used a previously known taxi driver to get us from and to Lom Sak (500 bath)..and as a daily tour guide (1500 bath/day) as there is much to see in the locality. Lee has local contacts who can provide a similar service. One final note, Lee has a passion for good wine, and has a fine collection for consumption and/or sale. We quaffed a bottle each night and bought a couple of his favourites home with us at excellent prices (for Thailand!). There are only 4 rooms at Sky Winds (3 mountain view rooms) so it is often full, and has many international guests. Booking can be made through *********** (where it has an exceptional 9.6/10 rating), but is possible (and more advantageous to all parties) to check availability and book directly with the owner and his wife.
