Phu Phiang Hotels with Pools

Would i stay again? Absolutely! Pros Bicycle provided to enjoy the nearby rice fields, local country lanes - you can even ride into town to enjoy the river, museums, restaurants and many temples. I really enjoyed a few hours out on the bicycle, even though it was old and rusty. The food menu is good, lots of seafood options but other options too, from western to local. The food is high quality, although the ribs maybe had too much overpowering layers of flavours. The restaurant is a very chill vibe, high quality furniture and decoration but with reasonable prices. Loads of drink options, from cocktails to beer, a huge selection of wines etc. Very impressive bar. No toothbrush/toothpaste but good quality gels, shampoo, lotion provided. If you don't pay extra for breakfast, complimentary toast with some homemade jams and a coffee are still provided. The resort organised motorbike rental (its always best to go through the resort/hotel in Thailand). 450 a day which is probably the most I've paid, however I thoroughly enjoyed a couple of days touring the local area, travelling south to Sao Din Na Noi and in the north, Doi Phu Kha National Park. Incredible trip, stunning scenery. Highly recommended. The owners are always there if you need them, either to have a chat or answer questions. Staff were very friendly with good English. Someone said in a review that the rooms were old with dim lights - this is completely untrue. The rooms are beautifully decorated in traditional Thai style but at the same time feel new. The balcony of some rooms have stunning rice field and mountain views but if you don't have that, walk a few metres to the fields with lots of seating to enjoy the views. The gardens around the rooms are well taken care of. Trips can be booked through the hotel. Bottled water provided in room (complimentary) with a well-stocked mini bar if you want extra drinks or snacks (charged but no price list seemed to be there). Cons There is no safe for passport, cash etc in room No kettle in room even though coffee, sugar was there 😅 but if you pay to upgrade or booked the mountain view room, there will be a coffee machine There is no mosquito repellant by pool, in the restaurant or in rooms - possibly because they are usually burning or flammable liquid which wouldn't go well with a resort made entirely of wood! Some electric options maybe? Can hear motorbikes/cars occasionally on the nearby road and almost a constant sound carried across the rice fields from the distant main road. However, this is Thailand and i'm not sure this can be avoided, anywhere. As with most hotels, the light switch situation is unnecessarily overcomplicated. The restaurant charges for ice buckets and bottled water is almost poured without specifically asking, and is charged.

Convenient transportation, near the airport, not very hot, but the location and bedroom are clean, neat, very good service, there is a chance to go to rest again 🥰
