About Up the Farm with Patch and Paul – Host family at Talay Bua Daeng, the Red Lotus Lake
Nestled in the idyllic countryside of the Prachaksinlapakhom district, this farm offers a rare opportunity to experience rural Thai life amidst one of the region's most famous natural attractions – Talay Bua Daeng, the Red Lotus Lake. The farm is run with a personal, dedicated touch, as reflected in its name. The combination of rural charm and warm hospitality makes it a unique alternative to conventional hotels in the Udon Thani area.
Guests can expect a relaxed, family-run atmosphere that reflects the rhythm of rural life. The location allows visitors to reach the Red Lotus Lake, where thousands of pink lotus flowers bloom on the water – a natural spectacle that attracts visitors from all over Thailand. Staying with a local family brings travelers into direct contact with their hosts and the surrounding landscape, rather than experiencing the atmosphere of a perfectly equipped resort.
The Red Lotus Lake is most impressive between December and February when the lotus flowers are in full bloom. This natural spectacle is best admired in the early morning hours. Guests are advised to book well in advance during this peak season, as demand in the region increases significantly. Visitors wishing to travel outside of this period should contact the accommodation directly. As it is a rural working farm and not a hotel, it is particularly suitable for those seeking peace and quiet who want to experience nature up close.

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts
Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.
After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.
Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
