Several rooms have king beds and futons, and the bedding changes from one room to the next, so the choice of bed depends on the room you book, and each one is described separately below.

Amphawa is a canal town in Samut Songkhram province, southwest of Bangkok, and the farmstay sits in the countryside around it. It is a quiet place to stay for a slower pace, with the town's canals, temples and markets close enough for a day out, and the garden and shared lounge make the property a restful place to spend time between excursions.

Wat Pumerin Kudi Thong, a temple with a pagoda 800 m away, is among the nearest sights. The Amphawa Floating Market, 1.5 km away, is the town's best-known draw, with food vendors working from boats along the canal and stalls on the bank. King Rama II Memorial Park, 1.4 km away, honours the Thai king Rama II, and the King Rama II Museum is in the same area, so the temple, the park and the museum make a short cultural outing on the same day.

A good day could start at Wat Pumerin Kudi Thong, then move to the floating market and the King Rama II Museum, and end with a trip to the Maeklong Railway Market, 5.3 km away, where trains run through the market stalls. Travellers arriving by bus can reach the farmstay from Amphawa Bus Station, 1.6 km away, while those driving can use the free parking on site.
