After an uninspiring approach beside a cement works, you'll struggle to suppress the oohs and aahs as you reach the tropical garden at this French-Thai operation on the hillside. From the restaurant overlooking the valley to the immaculate bamboo-weave bungalows and postcard-pretty palm-fringed pool, Old Tree's doesn't put a foot wrong. Look for the turn-off 400m past Tha Ton.
