Enjoy Scenery And Nature From Rabiang Phu Resort, Loei, Thailand

Wide choice of rooms to cater to varying group sizes

Rabiang Phu Resort has several types of room spread over a fairly large area. Accommodation is in cute chalets and cabins, rather than rooms in a block or larger building, and they can sleep two, three, four, or five guests. There are also small houses that can accommodate up to nine guests and the resort has a camping area with tents and bedding provided. Visitors can also pitch their own tents.

Prices vary depending on the time of year, with the most expensive times being weekends in December and January. This is the area’s coolest time and many visitors flock here to enjoy the low temperatures.

Cosy and comfortable rooms with lovely added touches

Each room has a private bathroom with a hot water shower and a basic selection of mini toiletries. There are communal facilities for guests staying in tents.

All rooms have a TV and refrigerator with complimentary drinking water. Each also has its own private seating area outside. The cheaper rooms of each size have wall-mounted electric fans whilst the more expensive rooms within the different size groups have air-conditioning. Whilst you probably won’t need either air-conditioning or a fan during the cool season (October to February), Loei is a province of superlatives when it comes to the temperature – it sees some of the country’s hottest temperatures during the hot season. April to June is usually the hottest time of the year.

The comfortable beds have warm duvets and fluffy pillows and the freshly-laundered towels have such a sweet fragrance.

Whilst the furnishings are pretty basic, with a clothes rail, desk, and bedside cabinet, items are in great condition and the rooms are very clean. Indeed, the wooden floor was positively gleaming from being polished so much! Carved pieces, like ornate clocks and picture frames, along with colourful pictures, plants, and small bunches of artificial flowers, help to add character to the rooms.

Inclusive breakfast and onsite dining options

Breakfast is included each morning for all room types. People staying in one of the resort’s tents can also enjoy the simple but filling breakfast, whilst those who have pitched their own tents can pay an additional 70 THB (approximately 2 USD) for breakfast.

Breakfast consists of a few Thai dishes, such as egg fried rice with chicken, Khao Tom (a thin rice porridge), and deep fried dough. You can also help yourself to water and coffee.

If you are vegetarian and you mention this to a member of staff, they will prepare something veggie-friendly for your breakfast. For example, I was given my own plate of crunchy stir-fried vegetables with plain boiled rice. This had not been requested; the restaurant staff had realised I was vegetarian at the previous night’s evening meal and prepared something suitable the following morning. It was such a nice gesture. Whilst the meal itself might not have been what I would usually choose for breakfast, it was tasty and filling and the friendly staff members were so sweet.

There are two restaurants within the resort, although one was being used for a private function at the time of stay. The one that was not open appeared to be a steak restaurant. The other serves a basic selection of Thai meals. Diners are given a piece of paper with a list of around eight dishes to choose between. Simply tick next to each desired item and your food will be brought to your room to enjoy at your outside seating area. Meals include stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried mushrooms, stir-fried pork, and stir-fried chicken, all served with boiled rice. The list is written in Thai, however, so this could be problematic. (And, there are no pictures to help out!)

Ample car-parking is available. Some rooms have parking places right outside and there is also a large grassy parking area.

Free Wi-Fi internet access is available. The signal is strong and reliable.

The resort’s grounds are refreshingly green, with an abundance of colourful flowers and interesting plants. There are also plenty of cute statues, such as grinning sheep, and thermometers affixed to posts where you can see exactly what the current temperature is.
