I've been there last Apr, pretty lucky as it's a bit of raining in the first day and nice weather in our next 2 nights. We stayed in Ban Rim Pha, spent time outside (went bull watching and we saw a Giant one much bigger than an elephant), thanks for the local guide from the resort that made thing much easier. We love the fact that they also have a lot of organics vegatable serving too :) I'd like to go it again next time for taking meditation on Nov. pay less & worth paying:)
