Gecko Villa is a unique place to stay in the northeast of Thailand: it's a single house with a great private swimming pool standing in the rice fields in the countryside.
You get the whole villa to yourselves, airport transfers are free and the Thai meals that were served to us daily were delightful and again included in the cost. It was great fun picking the fruit and vegetables and herbs in their own orchards and then learning how to cook them up.
We were looked after by a Thai family that lived in a village nearby and they really made our stay a memorable one. Friendly, fun and good value for an unusual stay away from the normal tourist meccas.
