Our favourite rooms
Bag a chocolate-walled ‘Baby’ Suite for the most romantic, whirlpool-bath-enhanced stay. All rooms are decked out in Thai-colonial style, with rich greens, calming creams and warm woods. Details such as porcelain-handled taps, ornately framed paintings and brass fans create a sense of nostalgia to the shabby-chic setting.
Packing tips
Bring solid walking shoes if you plan on exploring the local hills and forests; make sure you have plenty of change for trinkets at the Night Bazaar – three stories of local goods and craftworks.
Also
Puripunn offers private classes in Thai cookery and, for more artistic foodies, fruit and veg carving.
From the Guestbook…
If want to stretch your legs after arrival and chase away the jet lag, why not take in the flower market near the hotel and grab a bite to eat on the river bank afterwards?
