The finest resort along the Mekong River in Thailand is an all-encompassing experience in relaxation. The pool and hot tub are encircled by a lush, exotic garden; meals or drinks can be taken on tables spectacularly perched above expanses of river with views of Laos beyond. In the resort's manicured jungle you can enjoy an outdoor Thai massage, mineral bath, or herbal steam treatment; lounge in front of the river amid palm fronds; or take one of the Tohsang's kayaks out along the Mekong. Private villas are posh, but the "deluxe" corner rooms have sizable terraces with better views. Pros: excellent Web specials including spa and meals; elegance in a fantastic location; Isan's most romantic spot. Cons: far from town and local restaurants; poor breakfast buffet if low occupancy; many guests say water pressure and hot water is lacking.
