I had a wonderful time with Bunloed and his family. The bungalows are cosy and settled in a beautyful garden next to the rice paddies.
They are lots of amazing places to visit from there and the owners will happily help you to organise your activities and transportation.
I highly recommend this place if your looking for some laidback atmosphere and wild nature !

Bonjour,

Nous sommes 2 amies et nous venons de la part de Yoan Bouchard qui vous a envoyé un message début Février. Nous venons de Blain et du Gavre.
Il nous a dit de vous contacter car vous pourriez nous accueillir, un grand grand merci ☺️. Il nous a beaucoup parlé de ses bons moments passés chez vous !

Nous venons d’arriver à Bangkok et nous organisons notre itinéraire. Nous aurions aimé venir avant notre retour en France ( notre avion de retour est mi mars) est ce possible pour vous de nous accueillir 3/4 jours à ce moment là ?
Quel est le moyen le plus simple pour parler avec vous ?

Belle soirée
Élodie et Sophie

We spent three days with my friends at Angelina and Bunloed's, it was an incredible and unforgettable weekend! A lovely, friendly couple, passionate about where they live and happy to share moments with you as if you were part of the family. The bungalows are great, the village is charming and the locals are extremely warm and ready to share some moments with you. Bunloed took us for a whole day trekking in the reserve, the scenery is breathtaking and he is a very good guide. The surprises are endless, the meals were excellent! Thanks again to you Angelina and Bunloed, not to forget the sweet little Rose who is as adorable as her parents

I came to stay with Bunloed and Angelina for 3 days last February and ended up staying a week I enjoyed it it so much.. I have just returned from a second visit and it was like revisiting old frien d's , including meeting others who had also been staying last year and had also returned. There are plenty of places to visit in the area and I was still finding new places on my second visit . Having your own transport is certainly helpful but even if you don't have it ,there are nice walks from the homestay or you can go further afield on a bicycle or just relax in a hammock . Although there is no water in the waterfalls in February , there are places in the river where you can safely swim . If you are travelling along the Mekong ( which I can certainly recommend ) then I am sure you will enjoy stopping off for a few days at Bunloed's and may well end up staying longer than you planned !

Stayed overnight at Bunloed and Angelina's homestay and I already want to go back! The homestay is nestled up right next to Phu Wua Wildlife Sanctuary so you are surrounded by nature and a serene environment. Bunloed and Angelina were so welcoming and kind and made me feel at home. The dinner they cooked for everyone was delicious! Coming from the city hearing the sounds of nature at night were a welcome relief to the cars and barking dogs :) Thank you so much! Will come back to see you again!

I wanted to stay for a couple of days and ended up by 23. Bunloed and Angelina (and of course Rose) made me feel at home immediately. They’re very nice, welcoming, warm hearted, generous people. The food is excellent (zep), ask Bunloed to prepare Laap Mu!!!!!!!or fried rice!!!!!!!!(probably the best you can get in Thailand) or if your stomach feels homesick ask Angelina for crepes!!!!!!!!!! or rosemary chicken!!!!!!!!!!
The Bungalows are a travellers dream. A comfy mattress, a mosquito net, a cold shower and a nice veranda with a hammock to look over the rice fields. The garden with orchids, rambutan and pomelo trees is stunning.
The surrounding is amazing. Trekking in Phu Wua and explore the trails, Wat Phu Tok, waterfalls, Phu Langka, Phu Singh, spend a night in a cave or on top of Phu Singh, walk through the village or along the Mekong,.............
So spend a couple of days in paradise.
A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU.
For sure I’ll be back.

Our family stay with Bun and Angelina was one of the highlights of our recent visit to Thailand. We were made so welcome we felt at home straight away in their beautiful home and garden. They accommodated our various food requirements, making delicious meals, gave us information on places to explore with their bikes and picked up/dropped off at the bus stop on the main road. Bun’s guided walk through the wildlife sanctuary was excellent. We can’t wait to return.

Will and Sally (Wednesday, 12 July 2017 00:58)

Bunloed and his family were very friendly and accommodating. The village is lovely, as is the homestay, and his family is great. When we arrived, they offered us lots of rambutan fruit from their trees. We drove around the Phu Wua sanctuary on our motorbike, and when we came back, Bunloed's niece made us a delicious Thai dinner. Sleeping in the bungalow was great; we were surrounded by nature sounds, protected by a mosquito net, and awoke to the sound of rain in the rice paddy. It was so relaxing.

Manfred and Heidi (Monday, 03 April 2017 14:19)

Thank you for the lovely breakfast! Thank you for the fantastic dinner! And the special Korean barbecue by the fire! Thank you for the very nice bungalow near the rice paddies! Thank you for trekking with us (and Biba) in the Wildlife Sanctuary! Thank you for organizing our trip to Phu Tok. Thank you for letting us stay with you, cute baby Rose, and sweet Biba! Finally … thank you for showing us the big, big, big tokay gecko and his family ... right before our eyes … unbelievable! May there always be water in the swimming pool … We hope we will be able to return some day to have a drink together and say tschon gäo, chok dee, and kop khun kha!

Bon, difficile d'en rajouter aux commentaires tous positifs déjà émis...tout ce qui est écrit est vrai. J'y étais venu pour quelques jours, j'y suis resté plus de 2 semaines, jusqu'à la fin de mon voyage, tout émerveillé dans ce refuge d'humanité et d'authenticité. Bunloed et Angelina sont sympathiques rare et la petite Rose craquante...avis aux chercheurs de bonheur!

Rinus and Charlotte (Saturday, 11 February 2017 11:57)

This home Stay with Bunloed, Angelina and their cute baby Rose is absolutely amazing! We were really impressed with the beautiful nature, the kind people in the village and the great hospitality of the place. It is An excellent base to visit what phu tok and the trek in the wildlife sanctuary is really fun. We felt at home immediately and if it weren't for our visa expiring we would have loved to Stay longer! Thank you so much for making our Stay unforgettable!

Le Homestay de Bunloed est comme une bulle en dehors de tout, on s'y sent comme à la maison, les paysages de l'Issan en plus !
Nous sommes restés 4 nuits, une de plus que prévu, dans le petit bungalow sans salle de bain (celui que l'on voit sur les photos d'ailleurs, ca nous donne tout de sure envie d'y revenir !)
Trekking dans la réserve, visite de Put Lok avec le scooter, chasse et dégustation de grillons... que de souvenirs ! Et l'un des plus forts restera la fête du village à laquelle nous avons assisté par chance, pour célébrer le depart d'un jeune pour le service militaire. Karaoké, bonne nourriture, rencontre avec les Thaïs, un tres tres bon moment !
Bunloed est un excellent cuisinier, on recommande fortement son Tom Khai Kay! Et sa papaya salad! Et son curry vert !
La liberté de cuisiner le matin était vraiment appréciable d'autant que nous étions en voyage depuis 2 mois sans accès à la cuisine.
L'endroit est tres propre et bien tenu, le jardin est magnifique et Biba la chienne très amicale !
Bunloed et Angelina sont des hôtes très charmants, serviables et intéressants ! Le français d'Angelina et l'anglais de Bunloed nous ont permis de jongler entre les deux langues pendant le séjour.
Cette expérience restera l'un de nos meilleurs souvenirs de voyage, et on espère pouvoir revenir nous y ressourcer un jour !

Hélène et Yoan (Friday, 06 March 2015 14:19)

Aaaaaaahhh Bunloed's huts..... Juste exceptionnel ! Notre balade en Thaïlande n'aurait pas été la même sans notre étape chez Bunloed et Angelina. On y est resté beaucoup plus longtemps que prévu (normal!) et on y est même revenu avant notre retour en France, c'est dire si c'est bien !
Merci encore une fois pour tout: les bon petits plats (le laap et green curry! The best!), pour les rando dans la montagne, la découverte du village, les (presque) éléphants, les folles aventures à scooter "à la thaïlandaise"....
Bref, Angelina et Bunloed cartonnent tout simplement.
A bientôt c'est évident.
Hélène et Yoan

Will remember my six days there with Bunloed and Angelina! It was perfect! They are great people and hosts! My bungalow was clean and nicely furnished - you can easily unpack your bag. I loved the outside with the bench and the hamac on the bungalow balcony. And the food was always good and diverse ( green curry miammiam) !! Miss you both already

Nous avons été enchantés par notre séjour chez Bunloed et Angelina. L'accueil est très chaleureux. Ce sont deux personnes avec un grand cœur. Nous avons trouvé notre séjour trop court tellement on s'est senti bien et zen. Le jardin est magnifique et les cabanes superbes avec vue sur les rizières. Les enfants ont adorés le jardinage, la cabane dans l'arbre et aussi les dessins animés en plein air. La nourriture est succulente. Les activités proposées sont toutes intéressantes, notamment la découverte de la vie au village qui restera un moment inoubliable. Pour nous aussi cela a été notre meilleure destination et rencontre.

Quand on arrive chez Bunloed, il se passe immédiatement un phénomène étrange... On se sent comme à la maison, et on n'a plus envie d'en partir!! Donc si au départ vous souhaitiez rester 2 ou 3 jours et que ça se transforme en 11 jours par exemple, pas de panique, c'est normal, vous n'êtes pas les seuls dans ce cas!
Tout y est parfait: l'accueil chaleureux, les bungalows, la cuisine (ah la papaya salade et le sticky rice!), les soirées autour du feu, les parties de cartes... Et même des séances cinéma en plein air!
Et plus largement, quel plaisir de partager le quotidien de ce village, les habitants et leurs sourires, les incessants et adorables "hello" des enfants. Et puis il y a le Mékong, le Phu Wua Wildlife Sanctuary, Phu Toc, bref de belles balades et excursions à découvrir.
On pourrait en dire encore et encore tant on s'y est plu, et ce petit séjour chez Bunloed restera l'un des points forts de notre voyage. Merci encore, et see you soon of course!

Thanks you so much!
J'ai passé un très bon et agréable moment en votre compagnie et cet endroit est un vrai "havre de paix"
Depuis mon bungalow la vue du soleil levant était merveilleux chaque matin, les buffles dans les champs de rix, les gens du village adorable, tout simplement magnifique!!!
Un commençement 2015 en beauté plein de bonheur et d'amour!
Un grand Merci du coeur!
Ps: compliments à bunloed un grand chef de cuisine végétarienne mmmmiammiam!
Lydie See you soon! @):-

Stayed here for 5 memorable days in November.
The Bungalows are clean and comfortable
The food was the best that I've had since arriving in Thailand 7 weeks ago.
Bunloed and Angelina are very kind, friendly and genuine....you do feel like your at home.
Bunloed's knowledge of the local area is second to none. So take the opportunity to explore the region or just walk around the village. Someone will always stop and attempt to talk, so they can practice their English.

Lionel (Sunday, 14 September 2014 21:59)

Hey Bunloed, i hope you will see my message, i'm a French guy who past time with you, Angelina, Andy and his girlfriend and 2 germans, it was a great moment with them.
Lovely place, prices really cheap and around the village I enjoyed.
We went to the waterfall with your brother or nephew, we spent a good time. What else ?
I remember playing in the school with childrens some afternoons or this curious ceremony at school in order to give some flowers and gifts to the teachers. I was so shy to receive like them some flowers hahahahahaha..
Thank you man, sure i will come back to visit you.

andrew (Thursday, 11 September 2014 18:23)

Bunloed's is a fantastic place to stay - and chill out. I only had time for one night there but if it's quiet you're after stay a week. Bunloed is a really good guy, interesting to talk to and helpful. The other guests were fun. Great atmosphere and the communal kitchen rocks!

Warren Clarke (Tuesday, 09 September 2014 04:29)

I have stayed with Mr Bunloed several times in the last 3 years and will not miss visiting him every time we visit Thailand. He manages to find something new to show us on every visit.
The waterfalls are my favorite places!
Thanks Mr Bunloed and Angelina.
See you in December!

Valerie (Sunday, 07 September 2014 17:37)

I was there with 3 friends last May and i can say it is the best homestay ever ! Bunloed is so welcoming that you really feel like home. It is a real pleasure to share with him the meals he cooks and discover Issan food (just don't forget to ask meals a little bit less spicy than what he is used to cook for himself ;) ).
The place is absolutely gorgeous and you could spend your time just relaxing in a hammock on your balcony and enjoying the scenery.
Bunloed is also the perfect guide to discover the region as he knows every corner. You can ask him anything about wildlife or vegetation, he always get the answer !
For sure i will go back there one day ... and maybe earlier than expected ;)

Lou and Andy (Sunday, 07 September 2014 11:07)

Staying with Bunloed, in Kham pia was by far the best part of our year long trip abound the world. We were able to immerse ourselves in Isan culture when we were invited to join different celebrations within the village or relax on the balcony of our bungalow watching the planting of the rice fields. Bunloed is the host with the most and we can't wait to return.
