Serenity, unhurried

A quiet clearing
beside the water.

Nestled in the lush forests of Janda Baik, KHAIIestate is an escape from the noise of the city. The soothing sound of the nearby river sets the pace here — slow, easy, and yours to keep.

Every room is built for comfort while keeping you close to the natural world outside your window. Wake to birdsong, spend the afternoon by the water, and end the night under a sky full of stars.

Everything the
retreat is made of.

River Access

Step straight down to the water for a picnic, a dip, or an afternoon of doing gloriously nothing.

Open Hall

A breezy communal hall for gatherings, retreats, and long unhurried meals with the whole group.

Swimming Pool

A quiet pool set among the greenery — cool mountain air and warm afternoon light.

Riverside Café

Start the morning with coffee by the water and a breakfast that's in no rush at all.

BBQ & Picnics

Fire up a barbecue by the river, or lay out a picnic on the bank as the light softens.

Star-gazing Nights

Far from city glow, the night sky opens up — bring a blanket and stay a while.

Free Wi-Fi

Connected when you need it, easy to forget when you don't. The choice stays yours.

16 Nature Spots

Trails, waterfalls, and quiet lookouts — the whole valley of Janda Baik on your doorstep.

"We woke up to mist over the river every morning. The kids didn't touch a screen for two days — they were too busy by the water. That never happens."

"Cool highland air, the sound of the river all night, and a breakfast we were in no hurry to finish. An hour from the office, a world away from it."

"Booked the Leka unit for our parents. Spacious, spotless, and the star-gazing at night was something my father still talks about. We'll be back."

A private homestay · Not a resort

A slow escape, kept simple.

KHAIIestate is a family-run homestay, not a full-service hotel or resort — expect warm, personal care rather than a front desk and room service, in a quiet setting built for rest.
