Sedhpura Villa, a firm favourite of ZiZ Asia and A Member of the Isan Boutique Collection.
Sedhapura, a mesmerizing and remote luxury villa retreat on Thailand's less-travelled Northeastern frontier where the Mekong River carves the boundary separating Thailand with Southern Laos. A mystical region steeped in history, legends and mythology, the peacefulness and serenity intoxicates the very air one breathes.
Exhausted from the violence of its course through Tibet, the Mekong River receives a docile stimulant at its confluence with the Mun (Moon) River before it meanders timelessly from Thailand into Southern Laos, charting its course to the lands of Angkor, the Tonle Sap and onwards to the end of its journey in Vietnam and the South China Sea.
There are few places that truly epitomize the ultimate escape but Sefhapura is certainly one of them; void of crowds, as far removed from the tourist trail as can be and as naturally luxurious as it is resplendent. Not just a confluence of rivers but also of nations, cultures and cuisine.
Located adjacent to the border settlement of Woen Buk Village in the province of Ubon Ratchathani, Thais intermingle with Laotians, Khmer and Vietnamese, an eclectic mix that has produced a unique culinary fusion, a product of evolution and a paradise for Asia food enthusiasts, gourmets and culinary anthropologists.
