I think 9's rice paddy view is partially obstructed due to being slightly elevated behind some pool cabanas, privacy bushes, and a small rice terrace. 10 might be a nice balance with a minorly obstructed view, and I can confirm 11 had no view obstructions at all.

But the rice paddies regularly have guests wandering through or farmers working, so if you really value privacy, I would suggest forgoing rice paddy villas completely.
Thank you so much for your insightful response, that's exactly what I needed to know
