"Booked the Felix resort for a quick trip out of Bangkok and it was so peaceful.
Alighting the train from Bangkok I wandered around the little town. 7-11 and Rainforest cafe are right there.
Then walked across the bridge to the hotel. Be warned it's not far but in hotter weather it may be best to take a cab.
Anyway the hotel, is stunning the entrance is grand, the foyer is stunning and then you walk through the gardens to the rooms.
The pool is out of this world, lush gardens around it and after the noise of Bangkok it's an oasis of calm.
The room (I paid for a river view, which was kind of there but blocked by trees) was again out of this world, with a huge (hard) bed, loads of space, and massive bathroom.
Downside TV didn't work, but I only wanted it on whilst getting ready to go out.
I only had breakfast there so can't comment on evening meals. Breakfast was ok, as a vegan options were limited but the coffee was good and juice was cold.
Staff were great and so polite (like most of Thailand) and the drinks by the pool were pretty cheap.
All in all I would definitely go again to get away from the city."
