Baan Kornn: The Soul of Thai Hospitality

Discover Baan Kornn

A homely boutique hotel tucked away in Samut Songkhram, Baan Kornn Resort was newly opened in late 2022. Owned by two brothers, it is a cosy getaway fuelled by authentic Thai experiences surrounded by nature. The area is home to a major railway line and one of Thailand’s most popular floating markets, and the resort itself is a gastronomic retreat operated by acclaimed Chef Kornn.

At Baan Kornn Resort, you’ll encounter Thai food unlike any other. Employing tastes and textures, spices and smells, Chef Kornn conjures distinct culinary creations, which form the highlight of this trip: sumptuous feasts curated by none other than Chef Kornn himself.

A former banker turned restauranteur, Mr Anann is Chef Kornn’s brother, long-time business partner, and one-half of the team behind Erawan and La Moon restaurants. Although he shies away from the limelight, his presence has been firmly established in Malaysia’s elite circles. Tatler Malaysia gave Erawan the Best Restaurants Award 2012-2015, while La Moon is recognised among its Top 20 Restaurants in 2023. As co-owner of Baan Kornn Resort, he plays host to guests. Enjoy his effervescent persona up close, as he regales you with the marvels of Samut Songkhram.

The realm of Samut Songkhram

Away from the urban hotspots of Thailand, Samut Songkhram is a largely rural province. The (slightly) off-the-grid locale is a short 2 hours drive away. You will be greeted by natural scenery and river views, with the charming idyll punctuated by slow chugging trains. Situated in the heart of it all, Baan Kornn Resort makes for an ideal getaway.
