Escape to Paradise: Nan Nan's Little Forest House Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the tangled, moss-covered paradise that is Escape to Paradise: Nan Nan's Little Forest House Awaits! Don't get me wrong, the name is a bit much, right? But hey, marketing, gotta love it. I just spent a week there (mostly un-paradise-like, but then again, what's life without a little chaos?) and let me tell you, it’s a thing. This ain't your cookie-cutter hotel review, folks. This is the raw, unfiltered truth, warts and all.
Accessibility: The Good, the Grumpy, and the "Could Be Better"
Let's be real, accessibility is KEY these days. And Nan Nan's… well, it's a mixed bag. Listed as "Facilities for disabled guests," so this is definitely a question that they should answer directly to improve SEO and the client services. The elevator is a lifesaver. Kudos. Crucial for anyone not wanting to conquer Mount Everest just to reach their room. CCTV in common areas, and CCTV outside the property is reassuring, a definite plus. The exterior corridor and the car park [free of charge] made getting in and out a breeze. The layout seems to be designed with a bit of thought. I wish other places would take a hint!
Let's Talk Food (and My Ever-Growing Waistline)
Okay, food. This is where things get… interesting. "Escape to Paradise" promises a culinary journey. And it delivers. Asian cuisine in the restaurant is definitely the star. The [Asian breakfast] was a symphony of flavors. There's a vegetarian restaurant on site, and a Western cuisine in restaurant for those who want a bit of home. I'm not usually a buffet girl, but the [breakfast [buffet]] was actually pretty decent. The breakfast in room option is great if you are a late riser, or you want to be left alone. Just be warned, the breakfast delivery could take a while, so plan accordingly.
The poolside bar is a must-visit. Order yourself a fancy cocktail and get ready to people-watch to your heart's content. The happy hour can be a bit bonkers. Also they have a snack bar which is good to have. Oh, and the coffee shop deserves a shout-out for their coffee, but the desserts were too rich for my taste buds.
Things to Do (When You're Not Snoring)
Okay, if you are like me and hate the idea of doing nothing, there's plenty to keep you busy (or at least pretend to be).
- Spa/Sauna/Steamroom: The spa is gorgeous. The pool with view is amazing, I took 30 mins and just watched the clouds move, it was so relaxing! A Foot bath? Yes, please!
- Pool: I spent a lot of time in the outdoor swimming pool. It was refreshing, and the poolside bar was always close by, so, yeah.
- Fitness Center/Gym/Fitness: There is a [fitness center, gym/fitness], I tried it only once… I hate working out!
- Relaxing: The [massage] was divine. The [Body scrub] and [Body wrap] gave a little glow, I was a bit skeptical.
The Rooms: Home Away From Home (Sort Of)
Okay, my room. It needed a few things. The air conditioning and the free Wi-Fi were godsends. Non-smoking rooms are of course a plus, so you aren't forced to smell your neighbor's bad habits. The safe box and safe/security features were reassuring. I love a good blackout curtain, because sleep is important! Let me tell you, the bathtub was a godsend after a long day, but the view from my window wasn’t all that.

Cleanliness and Safety: Because Germs Are Not My Friends
Look, with everything going on, safety is paramount. Nan Nan's takes it seriously. There's daily disinfection in common areas, hand sanitizer everywhere, and staff are rigorously trained. Anti-viral cleaning products are used, and whispers the rooms feel clean. They offer a room sanitization opt-out, which is a nice touch if you're extra cautious. This made me feel much better.
Services and Conveniences: A Mixed Bag
Okay, this is where things get a little jumbled. The concierge was amazing! The [doorman] was always there with a smile. The option for [room service [24-hour]] is a must! The dry cleaning, laundry service, and ironing service are lifesavers, especially if you're like me and pack like a raccoon. There's a [convenience store] for those last-minute essentials, and a [gift/souvenir shop] to pick up something for the folks back home.
For the Kids:
I didn't come with kids, but I saw a few families, the [babysitting service] is available, if you need an escape. But the [kids meal] is what seemed the most interesting.
Internet Woes (and Wi-Fi Wins)
Okay, the internet situation at Nan Nan's is a rollercoaster, but it's better than nothing. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Woo-hoo! The Internet [LAN] is a thing and the internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless is fantastic. However, the Wi-Fi for special events is a blessing, as well.
The Oddities (Because Nothing's Perfect)
This place has some quirks. They offer a smoking area, which just seems… odd. Also, there's a shrine on the grounds. It's… interesting.
The Bottom Line (and My Honest Recommendation)
So, Escape to Paradise: Nan Nan's Little Forest House Awaits! is not perfect. But it's got heart. It's funky. It's… memorable. The food is generally good, sometimes fantastic. The rooms are comfortable enough. The accessibility is good but it could be better. The staff are lovely. Is it paradise? Maybe not. But is it a great place to almost escape? Absolutely. I'd go back, imperfections included.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's itinerary. This is the "I-nearly-lost-my-passport-in-a-mongoose-hole" version. We're heading to Little House in the Forest at Nan Nan, Thailand. Expect chaos, expect beauty, expect me to probably spill my Singha at least once.
The "Holey Moley, I'm Actually Going!" Itinerary: Nan Nan Edition (and Hopefully, Me Alive at the End)
Day 1: Bangkok Blues & "Is This Plane Really Going to Fly?" Anxiety
- 6:00 AM (ish): Wake up. Or, more accurately, roll out of bed after failing spectacularly to get a decent night's sleep. My pre-trip anxiety is already in full swing. Did I pack enough underwear? Did I leave the oven on? Did I actually remember to lock the cat in the house? (Kidding. Kinda.)
- 7:00 AM: Taxi to the airport. The driver, bless his heart, looks vaguely like my Uncle Jerry, which immediately makes me homesick. The Bangkok traffic is, as usual, a snarling beast. I'm already regretting not booking a private jet. (Kidding. Definitely kidding.)
- 9:00 AM: Airport chaos. Borderline panic attack trying to navigate the check-in. My bag weighs exactly 1 gram over the limit. Do I ditch my favourite t-shirt? Do I attempt a "look, I'm a vulnerable tourist" plea? The choice is agonizing.
- 10:00 AM: Finally through security! Now, the real battle begins: finding a coffee strong enough to combat my existential dread about being thousands of miles from home. I discover a tiny, overpriced cafe that serves the most amazing iced coffee I've ever tasted. This is a good omen, yes?!
- 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM: The flight! I always get the seat near the toilet. Always. This flight is delayed, naturally, which gives me ample time to judge everyone around me… I’m the worst. I discover my neighbour is a very chatty man and I have a serious debate about what to do with my leftover airline peanuts.
- 1:00 PM: Arrive in Nan! Hooray! Or… Wait. Where's my luggage?! (Dramatic pause). I have a panic attack because the luggage carousel is on.
- 2:00 PM: The luggage arrived! Phew. Grab a taxi, which looks like it might fall apart at any moment. The driver, a lovely woman with more gold teeth than you can shake a stick at, takes me on a scenic, bumpy ride through rice paddies – my first taste of the real Thailand.
- 3:00 PM: Check in at Little House in the Forest. OMG. This place is straight out of a fairy tale! Tiny, rustic bungalows nestled amongst lush greenery. It's even prettier than the photos! I nearly cried. (Don’t tell anyone!).
- 4:00 PM: Settle in! I immediately unpack – because I’m not an animal – and promptly spill my water all over my passport. Minor crisis averted with a hairdryer.
- 5:00 PM: Explore the grounds. Wander around like a giddy toddler, taking a million photos of the butterflies and pretending I'm a sophisticated travel journalist, not a hot mess.
- 6:00 PM: Sunset cocktails at the little bar. It’s here where I can feel the magic start to work. I can begin to relax here.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at the resort restaurant – probably Pad Thai, because, hello, Thailand! I struggle with the chopsticks (again). Laugh hysterically at the waitress at my table. Then, I sit and look around. Wow.
- 8:00 PM: Fall asleep in my bungalow, listening to the symphony of the jungle. Bliss. Or maybe mild paranoia about what lurks in the dark. (It’s probably a lizard)
Day 2: Temples, Treks & Tears (of Joy, Hopefully)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up to the sound of… something. Birds? Monkeys? Maybe whatever creatures are causing nocturnal panic. Check. It's actually beautiful!
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast. Okay. Breakfast at Little House is a feast! Fresh fruit that tastes like sunshine, strong coffee, and more delicious food than I can possibly manage.
- 9:00 AM: Trekking time! We’re hitting the local temples. I’m embarrassingly in awe of the architecture. The colours! The detail! I'm also sweating like a pig.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch at a tiny local eatery. The food is incredible, but the chili level is… underestimated. My mouth is on fire, but I refuse to be defeated. I chug water and try to look dignified. Fail.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: A river cruise. We're floating down the Nan River. Peaceful serenity. We're gliding past floating markets, and the air is filled with the calls of birds I can’t name. This is how I will spend the rest of my life from this point forward. That is the plan.
- 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: More temples. More wonder. More sweating. I buy a fan.
- 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Return to the resort, needing a shower and a moment of quiet, I sit. It's here where I can begin to relax again.
- 6:00 PM: I take a cooking class! Well, attempt a cooking class. My attempts at stir-frying are… questionable. I mostly manage to burn the rice. But the instructor is patient (bless her). And the food, even my less-than-perfect creation, is delicious.
- 7:00 PM: I have another delicious Thai dinner. Try not to eat too much, as I may eat more and I can’t stop.
- 8:00 PM: Stargazing from the hammock. The night sky is an incredible blanket of stars. Total silence. I can't help but feel overwhelmingly grateful for this moment.
Day 3: The Day I Became One With the Thai Jungle (Probably)
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast, because, obviously.
- 9:00 AM: A guided trek through the forest! We're heading into the real jungle. I’m expecting Indiana Jones-level adventure.
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: The hike is a challenge. The heat is intense, the terrain is tricky, and I'm pretty sure I saw a spider the size of my face. I have to battle a swarm of mosquitos. A few times. But the views! The waterfalls! The feeling of being completely immersed in nature! It's utterly breathtaking. I feel… alive.
- 12:00 PM: Waterfall swim! Pure, unadulterated joy. I do my best Tarzan impression (terrible).
- 1:00 PM: Lunch in the middle of nowhere. Noodles, fruit, and the best iced tea I've ever tasted, all made by our guide. We sit under the shade of a giant tree. Pure heaven.
- 2:00 PM: More jungle trekking! We find a hidden pool of water. We all sit there, silent, just admiring the place we’re sitting in, it looks like a painting.
- 4:00 PM: Back to the resort. I collapse by the pool, utterly exhausted, covered in dirt and sweat. I've never felt so grateful, or so tired.
- 5:00 PM: Massages. The best massage of my life. Seriously. I think I may have drifted off to sleep during it.
- 6:00 PM: Free time!
- 7:00 PM: Final dinner. I attempt to hold back tears.
- 8:00 PM: Packing for the flight home. Sobbing. I don't want to leave. The feeling of peace. The food. The people. It is all gone.
Day 4: Farewell Nan! (And My Sanity?)
- 7:00 AM: One last breakfast. I stuff my face with as much delicious food as possible.
- 8:00 AM: Say goodbye to the staff at Little House. They've become like a second family to me. I almost cry.
- 9:00 AM: Taxi back to the airport.
- 10:00 AM: Flight home. I have a strong feeling that I will be back.
- End… For Now.
This itinerary is flexible. I will probably get lost. I will probably eat too much. I will probably cry. But I will experience something amazing. And that, my friends, is what counts. This isn’t travel to tick boxes, it's about letting it all in. Wish me luck!
