Having been to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand I can say this is the best place I've stayed, personally its on a par with many 5* resorts in England. An incredibly tranquil place, with a great location by the river with fantastic rooms and even better service makes this a top spot in Asia. The balcony area is a fantastic... More

Rooms have different names - we stayed in the RICE HUT - which unfortunately was close to the entrance to the hotel - opposite the kitchen area and within 30 metres of the dining area - so was subject to constant noise. The room was very homely and comfortable - but large gaps in the slatted wood walls left us... More

Thank you for your comments and of course we are very sorry you did not enjoy your stay. All our rooms are different and in different places around the property, and while some prefer the Rice Hut, its adjoining parking space and location near our cafe building, some do not. Of course, we would have been very happy to offer... More

We were so thrilled to find this lovely riverside hotel – 4 hours minibus from Chiang Mai on the road to Mae hon song. We were staying at the nearby Cavelodge where we felt distinctly unwelcome and found the food really mediocre and staff downright rude. We met two River Inn guests at the Tuesday market in Soppong (which, incidentally,... More

We stayed for three nights in the bungalow "the baan". First impression: a bit dark and not much view because of thick foliage. But what a relaxing place, friendly staff and good cooking! And they serve a pretty good espresso as well. We felt sorry having to leave this nice and quiet place.

I had a wonderful experience staying at Soppong River Inn. Joy the owner, was super accommodating and gracious enough to offer to be my tour guide when mine fell through at the last minute. It's a beautiful little inn along a river. Incredibly peaceful.

This was our first stop on the Mai Hong Sorn loop (we decided not to stay in Pai as it had grown out of all recognition form our last visit 10 years ago. Sopong is MUCH quieter and a great place to stop for the hiking, caves and local markets. The River Inn is in a quiet location on thw... More

The hotel is located in a beautiful spot, the rooms have great character and unlike most We've stayed in, which was great. The owner was very friendly and helpful, she suggested on arrival that we go quickly to Mae Lena, a nearby village ( as we told her we wanted to see minority people). It turned out to be a... More

Thank you so much for your nice words. I'm glad we were able to find out about the special hilltribe gathering over in Mae Lanna the day you were here so we could let you know about it. And of course, it always nice to know that you enjoyed our food at the cafe as well. Thanks for staying with... More

We loved every aspect of the Soppong River Inn. We stayed in one of the new rooms (the upstairs "nest") which was quite modern and luxurious. The owners and their daughter were very friendly and helpful. The hiking and caving in the area are phenomenal; we also enjoyed the local market.

We were very much looking forward to our stay at Soppong River Inn and had corresponded with Burt extensively however when we finally arrived only Om, his step daughter was there, (as Burt and Joy were away in Hawaii) and the place seemed almost abandoned. The room we had booked was the The baan but when we looked at it,... More

Naturally, we were very sorry to learn about your disappointment with your accommodation. Also, I'm sorry that we were not able to be there and work things out personally with you, but this is the one time of the year during our low season that we can get away for a brief holiday, and at the same time leaving Aom...

Soppong River Inn is in a fantastic location, literally hanging over the river, it is quite amazing It has a really friendly welcoming atmosphere.
