Jirung Health Village

Our room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant food was delicious though the only alcohol we could order was beer or wine that was sitting out in the heat. It would have been good to have some of the other drinks on the menu available like cocktails and spirits. The location was very convenient to so many attractions yet off the main road. Our children enjoyed the access to bikes and the tracks around the property. They also visited the small farm and rode the ponies.

Our family of four (with one friend tagging along) had plenty of room in the suite. The rooms were very large, and a deck/terrace to view the surrounding mountains (not in view b/c of it being March/April when they are burning). The weather was very hot (104/40+), but the a/c's (4 units thruout) worked great and kept the suite cool. The master bath is very roomy with a decent tub. The facilities are getting to be a little dated and rundown. The rooms are simple, but nice, not overly fancy, which is why we had a good rate ($65/night) during the Songkran week. The room was very comfortable and quiet. The pool is nice and overlooks the small pond below. There is a nice little coffee shop/restaurant down the hill with some animals for the kids to enjoy- a couple of buffaloes and small horses. The well-known Tiger Kingdom and Poo Poo Paper place are just next door and many other popular tourist spots. The Thai food is quite good, but the western lunches are not that satisfying. Breakfast was included and is quite good with Asian selections and typical western choices. All this said, we very much enjoyed ourselves at Jirung and plan to return.

Staff was very courteous. Rooms at the family sanctuary could do some updating and have people come out and take care of the ant problem. Property needs upgrades.
