Panvaree The Greenery

Panvaree The Greenery

10/10 Excellent
"A once-in-a-lifetime experience, and one we’ll be talking about for years. From sitting on the pier eating papaya to the spectacular boat ride through the park towards the floating lake houses, the whole arrival feels like stepping onto a movie set. You almost expect someone to reveal a green screen—it’s that unreal. Photos simply cannot do this place justice. The setting is breathtaking, but the lovely staff, spotless accommodation and incredible food make the whole experience feel special. Swimming straight off the front of your lake house into still, jade-green water, surrounded by that extraordinary landscape and peaceful silence, is something you won’t forget. The absolute highlight was spotting two wild bull elephants along the shoreline during an evening boat ride. Seeing them in their natural habitat, from the water, felt like winning the lottery. We knew we were lucky just to be there, but that was something else. We stayed only one night, and leaving was the hardest part. Three nights here would be a proper switch-off from the world. Magical from start to finish—we would love to come back."

"What an unforgettable stay. It was our first time in the Surat Thani province and this being our first stop, certainly didn't disappoint. We utilized the resort sending a Van from the airport, but arranged a ride in advance on our own from the resort back to Surat Thani (doable via the many transport apps). The resort is new, opened within the year (2026). And they are still doing finishing touches to the grounds. We leaned into the "experiences" staff to help coordinate some outings. The staff were awesome in ensuring we had everything we might need, dry bag, rain poncho, etc. We did the bamboo rafting to a cave with a guide, and had a choice of tea or coffee made on open fire. (saw a bunch of monkeys and elephant trails). We also did the group Cheow Lan Lake tour with hike to a cave (they are shared between resorts). I would rate the first as a 9/10 experience, the second 7/10. The lake is beautiful, however, the on-lake restaurant and resort on the scheduled experience has seen better days and it's a f-u-l-l day, no budge in scheduling. We also had scheduled a few in-room massages, top notch service. The restaurant and staff, especially Penh(Ben), were always smiling and remembered our preferences. The food was always cooked fresh and full of flavor. We would definitely stay here in the future, no questions. A great place in the jungle to disconnect with beautiful limestone mountains surrounding it, located along the Sok river."

"Considering you’re out in the jungle basically, the rooms are very well maintained and also air conditioned. The staff is very eager to assist and always on hand. Be prepared to arrive with cash because it seems like the credit card reader is not always available and that can be an issue. This is also a remote property so bear in mind you will only have limited access to all amenities during daylight hours. But the staff is lovely and will bend over backwards to help you in any way they can, just have your expectations in line with the location. That being said there is transport available to all the local attractions, and it’s a truly lovely and one of a kind experience that I am sure you will cherish, as I did :)"
