Our honeymoon at Kanlaya’s Eyrie was an absolute dream. From the moment we arrived and were warmly greeted by Philippe, Gayle, and their family, we were captivated by the stunning beauty of the house and the breathtaking views.
The Master Suite was pure luxury, offering a private jacuzzi pavilion with panoramic vistas. The ambiance of the house was simply enchanting, we enjoyed relaxing on the porch, taking in the serene surroundings.
During our stay, we strolled to the river at the end of the property, followed by a fascinating Karen Tribe blessing ritual performed by Gayle’s family. The candlelit dinner that evening was a culinary delight, featuring authentic Northern Thai cuisine prepared by Gayle herself. Releasing lanterns into the night sky was a truly magical experience.
The next morning, we embarked on a pre-dawn adventure with Philippe and Pen, enjoying a delicious breakfast amidst the stunning mountain scenery. Philippe’s deep knowledge of nature and his keen eye for detail allowed us to spot and appreciate numerous remarkable orchids. Pen’s presence on the tour was invaluable, as her Thai language skills enabled seamless communication with locals and tribal people at the Koffie plantation.
We then explored a remote temple, visited the Arabica Koffie plantation, and wandered through the charming village of Pang Mapha.
Without Kanlaya’s Eyrie and the personalized tours organized by Philippe, Gayle, and Pen, we would never have discovered this hidden gem of Thailand. This unforgettable experience has solidified our honeymoon as the most memorable part of our 3.5-week trip.
We wholeheartedly give Kanlaya’s Eyrie a perfect 10 out of 10. Thank you, Philippe, Gayle, and Pen, for creating such a magical and unforgettable stay.
