Self Catering & Serviced
What to Bring
You will need to bring ice, your food, drinks and your clothing. The water in the taps comes from a well point and although we feel it is safe to drink, we would recommend that guests bring bottled water for drinking.
There are small shops around Khwai village and you will be able to get some basic supplies.
Fire wood is also available in the village or from our staff.
Don’t forget your binoculars and camera, and pack some mozzie spray and sunscreen.
