In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- Book one of the two chocolate-walled Baby Suites for the most romantic, whirlpool-bath-enhanced stay. All rooms are attractively decked out in old world Thai-colonial style, with rich greens, warm woods and cream hues. Little touches such as porcelain-handled taps, ornately framed paintings and brass ceiling fans make staying in Puripunn like stepping into oriental yesteryear.
