Traveling to Thailand? Find Kamphaeng Phet Province hotels

If you stay here you will be very happy. The property is one year old but the landscaping looks like it has been planned for10 years. The location on the river and setting overlooking the river is amazing. The owner was everywhere and so proud of her place. The rooms were beautiful with everything first class. We ate a gourmet meal at the restaurant with a variety of elegant Thai dishes. The lighting on the property are so romantic that even a 70 year old Geiser was impressed. There was even a 4 piece band playing at dinner. Breakfast overlooking the river was also outstanding.

Others might describe the hotel as in need of "an update" or "renovation". I really like classic hotels with lots of intricate woodwork, paneling, and wood floors, but admittedly, some things are worn and in need of replacement or repair. The beds were comfortable, the amenities were fine, and the room size was ample. The bathroom was sizable too, with a combination bath and shower. There were plenty of lights and the Internet was very fast. The hotel is located in the heart of Kamphaeng Phet, facing a park next to the river. The view is actually quite nice. There are bakeries, a farmers market, and convenience stores within walking distance. The staff were friendly and courteous. The breakfast was good with ample choices, although there is a bit of a pest issue (this is Buddhist Thailand in the tropics ...they just will not spray). The food was covered. There is no pool.

To start with the positive sides: the view of the Ping river is - particularly in the early morning - very alluring. The swimming pool is not big but very well maintained, and the girl who seemed to be doing most of the work was very helpful and friendly. Other than that: it is indeed a hotel with a certain 'concept': each room is in as separate little whitewashed house sprawled out over a garden with some beautiful trees. There are ponies (not sure what they're doing there - they may be part of the 'concept') and a colony of midget chickens. On the inside, we noticed that our room could do with a lick of paint. There was also only one window that could be opened. And the room was full of bric-a-brac, as if we were staying (uneasily) in a yound girl's room that had been untouched for 20 years. The bed was also not great: the mattress was too small for the frame, and there was a plastic (!) sheet under the cover on my side. Maybe the little girl who lived here still peed in the bed? If this is the best hotel in Kamphaeng Phet, then it must be for lack of competition.

Maiyai Resort is a bit away from everything - and according to the staff about 4 km's from the Historical Park of Kamphaeng Phet. Which did not matter much, since they also gave me a free lift to the site. Within a few minutes walk, there is a very good local restaurant to the left of the resort, and some food stalls to the right. The bungalow in itself was immaculately clean, big and comfortable, complete with a sitting area, desk and a very nice bed. And a fine, roofed terrace, where you can sit in the evening and listen to nature's sounds from the garden. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the Wi-Fi fast and reliable, and the room cleaned every day. VERY, highly recommended!!!!!

The Soda is bungalow type resort on the southern outskirts of Kamphaeng Phet. It is quite easy to find using google maps and has the name in English on the sign. That is all the English you will get at this resort since no one there speaks any. Which isn't a problem because everyone is friendly and willing to try to help. I stayed there on two occasions. Both times in the same room. The room was very clean with no bugs. The bed was comfortable. Good aircon. The bathroom was also very clean and large with a separate shower with good hot water. Breakfast is served in the lobby/restaurant. It is a buffet with several Thai food selections, toast and coffee. Very nice! The only drawback is that you will need transportation to get to the historical park and into town. Other than that The Soda resort is a great place to stay.

The room we stayed in is a sleep trap! The bed is comfortable enough and the room will stay nice and dark through the morning if you want it to. The room was big and there was actually a work desk as well. We didn't have an A/C in our room, but the fan was very powerful. The guesthouse has a great ambiance to it and enough foliage to keep the room cool throughout the day making the A/C not really necessary. The bathrooms were communal and the showers weren't great, one of the hot water heaters was broken and the other barely worked. The shower heads were not the best, but good enough. We've been able to find rooms for two with attached bathrooms, hot water heaters, and A/C for only 50 baht more in this part of the country, but the beds are generally not as comfortable, the rooms don't come with work desks, and the atmosphere isn't great. The Three J Guesthouse feels like you're in an ancient jungle and has a great atmosphere, which makes it stand apart from the rest.

THis is a motel on the far outskirts of town, far from the city centre or Historical Park! All the signs are in Thai and it is mainly for passing trade. Because of extremely noisy/inconsiderate neighbours in the next room I didn't get a wink of sleep on the Saturday night. I tried to change my room at 2.30am! but all were full. I changed hotels for my second night! This Motel has no business advertising on Agoda.
