Smileys is amazing! Isolating you’re self from wifi and the craziness of the cities and towns is an awesome experience! The rooms are small and rugged but add a awesome touch the the whole suclusion vibe! I love it! Awesome for backpackers and families looking for some time to decompress! Connor
If you’re looking to get away and relax, swim in beautiful fresh water, kayak and explore and wake up to the sound of nature, this is the place to go. By far one of my favorite places to stay in Thailand. The staff are always ready to help you and chat with a smile on their face and just want you to enjoy the experience as much as they do. Jasmine
Our overnight trip to Smiley lake house was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Thailand. During the afternoon hike through jungle to caves we experienced a tropical thunderstorm and torrential rain, however the guides did a fantastic job to keep moods high and led us to amazing walk/swim through a cave. There was a good mix of activities and time to swim and relax. The highlight of the experience was the enthusiastic, funny and high spirited staff. Gregor
