it is very difficult to book for non local people. (International travellers)  I wanted to stay overnight in Ban Rak Thai. The only accommodation I could consider was either Lee Wine Rak Thai Resort or Chasa Rakthai Resort only. Lee Wine Rak Thai Resort is listed on booking sites but it wasn’t released yet for the date I wanted to stay.  Chasa Rakthai resort doesn’t use booking sites like AGODA. I was planning to stay there near the new year, I wanted to book a room in advance. Chasa Rakthai has its own website, so I booked a room from their website directly but it isn’t confirmed unless you send them money. The website doesn't accept credit cards.   The only option is to send money to their bank. How primitive… Luckily I have a Thai friend. Her brother in Thailand helped me a lot. After he sent the money on my behalf, I didn’t hear back from the hotel anything. He again helped me call them if they received money and my booking was finally confirmed. It was a really long way to confirm my booking. There are lots of rooms, you might be able to find a room without booking. Also there are actually many other guesthouses, hotels in Ban Rak Thai around the lake but it is challenging to find them in advance.  The room I stayed in was located on the top of the property.  The view is great but you have to step up long stairs. At least, the porter helped me carry my suitcase when it was check-in/oput. I rarely stay at a "hotel". I enjoyed my stay pretty much. It is rather expensive for Thai Standard ( and it is a village !) but it is a lux hotel in this area. I enjoyed the sunrise from the terrace in front of the room. (Public area) Breakfast is a buffet. (800-1000) There are so many restaurants around the lake, you can enjoy the stroll. Wifi is good even in the mountain area.  No issue with hot water showers.  Hair Dryer Mini Fridge Electric Kettle Complimentary drink is pet bottle water and tea.  Compared to my usual B&B, it was a very lux stay. My room was on the corner next to the stairs. I had to keep the curtain closed to keep privacy.

This review covers just the restaurant - probably the largest one in this Chinese style theme park town. Service, food ok and prices are reasonable. The menu is wide and comprehensive. The view over the lake/reservoir is probably one of of the best in the town.
