'Wow! This is such an amazing place...The views (especially from the top of Mt Koh) are breathtaking and leave you speechless. All the staff and guides at Marich Pass are brilliant'.
'...the place is so peaceful and calm...the food's great...the loos are 'rustic' but fine when you get used to them...bush walks are exhausting in the heat but the river is lovely and cool - be prepared to make conversation with small naked children...I could stay here for ever if I had enough batteries for my torch!'
