  • Pha Taem & Kaeng Phisamai Riverside

  • P Hometel

    Nakhon Phanom

    It seems better than it is, this one. The frontage and branding look modern, it's in the centre, close to the river and has a lovely attached cafe. But in…

    Khao Yai National Park

    One of Khao Yai's veteran resorts, this vast place is in need of TLC, and has ditched its previously great-value fan-cooled rooms, leaving only fairly bog…

  • Kritsada Rimkhong Hotel

    Nakhon Phanom Province

    There is a mix of rooms here, some older than others, and none particularly inspiring. But it's all about the pair of 2nd-storey river-view rooms; grab…

  • Loei Palace Hotel

    Loei Province

    Loei's ageing flagship hotel is an old-fashioned hulk of a building but it backs onto a pleasant park and retains a certain charm with spacious rooms…

  • Sri Rattna Hotel

    Nakhon Ratchasima (Khorat)

    The centrally located Sri Rattna has the ambience of an asylum, but the owners run it with the care and efficiency of a four-star resort. The fan rooms…

    Udon Thani
