What a wonderful treat. My traveling party of four just returned from two weeks in Thailand, and while we enjoyed every moment of our trip, Gecko Villa was without a doubt the highlight of our journey. There is no better way to experience the true Thailand -- the delightful people, the local (and delicious!) cuisine, the beautiful simplicity of rural... More

We arrived in Udan Thani and were met by Ten who drove us to his beautiful villa in the midst of farmland and local villages. We were warmly greeted by his family and shown to our rooms adorned with fresh flowers, authentic decor and a stunning deck and pool all to ourselves! not too shabby after backpacking. The meals were... More

After reading about Gecko Villa in theTimes I checked it out on Trip Advisor, took a chance and booked 5 days there. I'm so glad we did. The whole experience was faultless - from booking with Charles to meeting Ten at Udon Thani Airport. It was such a relief to see him waiting there as I had arranged the flights... More

We stayed at Gecko Villa after our 3 weeks trip trough Laos. And what a stay. The best you can get before or after your travelling. The hospitality of Ten, Eung and the 2 other ladies, is more then you asked for. The food is delicious. And if you want something: just ask Ten, he arranges everything for you. Such... More

The location was stunning, the villa perfect and hospitality of Ten, his wife and Anna beyond comparison. We enjoyed two weeks of delicious home cooked food and excellent hospitality. We travelled with our 14 month old who loved the pool and Anna who looked after her so well allowing us to have undisturbed mealtimes. The booking was made very easy... More

What a stunning villa - beautiful surroundings, comfortable beds, an amazing pool and some superb home-cooked Thai food. Everyone at the villa made us very welcome and looked after us exceedingly well. We used the villa to travel all over Northeastern Thailand as well as going into Laos for an overnight stay. We spent much of our time at the... More

I went here for 4 days with my husband, son, and parents. The house is about one hour drive from the Udon Thani airport, off the paved roads in the middle of a quiet village. This place is such a gem. If you want to have a unique, special vacation rather than stay in a typical hotel with all the... More

Gekko villa is an amazing place - so tranquil. Ten, Euang and Anne were the most perfect hosts - nothing was too much trouble. The meals were fantastic and the side trips to villages, the towns, "field mice hunting" and the boat trip on the lake were just wonderful. We attempted to assist in the rice harvest though I think... More

We stayed at Gecko Villa in late Nov 09, only just getting round to writing review now though. After a stressful couple of months in London and having raced round a very hot Bangkok checking out the sights, we were really looking forward to seeing if Gecko Villa lived up to the lovely pictures on its website. It did, and... More
