Rice Paddy Villa proposes something quite out of the ordinary. Forget anodyne hotels or resorts, avoid the tourist crowds in Phuket, Samui, Pattaya and Chiang Mai, leave the teeming metropolis of Bangkok behind, and head for your private pool villa in the countryside of rural Udon Thani province in the kingdom's unchanged Northeast. Style, comfort, tranquility and authenticity are key at this Thai holiday villa nestled among the emerald rice fields of Udon Thani province. Foodies will not be disappointed by the delicious Thai food prepared for you throughout your stay, and we will be delighted to show you how to rustle up both Thai food and Isan dishes. This exotic Thai vacation rental sits at the end of a private tree-lined driveway, and despite its modernity has all the hallmarks of a traditional Thai house, with its steep terracotta tiled roof, its established grounds, its wooden deck and antique doors. Rice Paddy Villa has two attractive bedrooms, each with hardwood floors, air-conditioning, and an en-suite private bathroom. The villa has an entry hall, an office, a living and dining room with views over the private swimming pool and wooden sun deck, a television room with satellite TV, a fully equipped modern Western kitchen, a sala, and extensive exotic gardens and grounds with private parking. The villa is decorated in hardwoods, local silks and cottons, antiques and indigenous articles of interest. Full details at www.ricepaddyvilla.com
