Livist Resort is a city hotel located in the center of Petchabun, situating 40 minutes from natural attraction and surrounded by small local dwellings. The structure is in the garden around the west wings of the hotel, allowing travellers to see Khao Kho's sunset scenery from far. The Open-Air pool was enfolded by a collection of 14 Inverted Pyramid Structure, complementing to grow perennial plants. The span of 3.5 metres allows the sheltered space to breath and formed a conjoined pocket space as swimming experience. Initiating prolonged bathing, enveloped from the top but simultenously airy.
