...pieces of pottery hand-painted by Nantiya lend a homely feel. Bathrooms feature toiletries custom blended according to one of four aromatic themes?lemongrass, jasmine, orchid and rice.

Guests wanting to do more to save the world can make a donation at checkout to one of the animal or children's charities on the Tulyanonds' list?and the inn will match it.
