Maekok River Village Resort

I saw an ad on the forum for that, so I guess it's OK to refer to it here.

Back in the 90s I went on a northern tour that stopped for lunch there, and was very impressed by the lovely wood buildings.

However, when I went back last year, there was only bog standard concrete buildings.

Question. Was the old place demolished, or is it still somewhere, perhaps under a different name? If it was demolished, how long ago?

Thanks.

It moved to the opposite side of the river. Now a much larger place.

I guess they demolished the old buildings then. Certainly there was nothing to be seen on the other side of the river.

Sad, the old place was lovely, but the new concrete buildings are nothing to look at and the character has been lost.

Two photos of a brochure advertising the lodge back in the 90s. You can see it is quite different now, if you google today's lodge.
