Wattana Hip — Restaurant in Tak Province

Probably the best stay I have ever had. The owners are incredible. Definitely the nicest and warmest people I have met in Thailand. Smiling all the time and being so helpful with everything.

Dish is served with crispy rice crackers. I have tried numerous of the dishes from the menu and all of them were fantastic.

The owner prepares the best meals and while your food gets ready you can have a swim in the river. Thanks Nut and all the Wattana’s team. I...

Great spot next to the river. Nice area to relax in between the two rooms, overlooking the river and the bridge. Road traffic a bit noisy but calmed down at about 20.00. Food was excellent, but wish there had been prices on the menu, lol. Great Thai breakfast set us up...
