Holiday rentals with lake access in Ratchaburi

Winai is a very welcoming host and a pleasant communicator. I was lucky to meet his family who are very sweet people. As to the place, it's not a houseboat, it's a room in a hotel in the countryside near a couple of beautiful ponds with a great chilling area. There's no public transport and no Grab in the area (no available drivers) and if you walk you may get unwanted street dogs' attention (people don't walk here) but hosts offer to take you around for a fee, otherwise you need to organize personal transport before coming here. Nearest restaurant and shop is ~3 km away, train station ~5 km away. You can book a rafting tour in the area which is pretty amazing, you go down the canal in a mangrove forest on a bamboo raft and then stop to eat local treat and watch locals fishing. When I was there they caught this huge river prawn which I saw for the first time. Also, there're iguanas in the area which are pretty huge and just live nearby. It was cool to see them in their natural habitat.

Great place, better than expected. Nice and helpful people. Loved the view.

The place was perfect—just as described! It’s an ideal getaway for a quick family escape from Bangkok. The house is beautifully designed, and if you love traditional Thai architecture with stunning antique furniture, this is the perfect spot. The pool and garden were lovely, and it’s only about 10 minutes from Amphawa Floating Market. Highly recommended! The host was also very nice, with easy and smooth communication.
