Khao Yai Eco Valley Lodge

This place is really pretty and clean. Two problems. One, the food is too expensive. Two, the manager doesn't seem to be around and the people who are there have no common business sense. We got there booked a full-day tour for the next day. After a couple of hours out, we got back and they told us that the tour wasn't actually going the next day. So we asked if we could call another place whose brochure we got to see if we could go with them. Sure they said - but it would cost money for every minute of phone call!! Outrageous. This was their fault. We did set up a tour with the other folks. Then we asked if we could get a ride to them in the morning. That would have been 300 baht! This is way too much. We had to call the other people back to arrange to have them pick us up. These other folks charged us 200 baht to come get us AND take us back. Plus they came and got us the next morning so we could go back to the bus station - for nothing! This is the kind of service Eco Valley Lodge should have provided. This is what makes people come back. We felt like we were being held hostage!
