Best Hotels near Wat Nontharam (Wat Ban Mai), Hat Siao

We spent one night in a ”Garden Villa” chalet. The resort was pretty empty and the staff speak little English and could benefit from some customer care training but otherwise, it really wasn't bad. The pool was huge and well maintained although the surrounding grounds could be better tidied up. The Garden Villa was pretty spotless (ants aside) but staff had forgotten to replenish bathroom supplies. Room had Aircon, TV, fridge and pretty comfy enormous bed. Breakfast was eggs, cold frankfurter type sausage, white slice bread, or Thai soupy stuff. Passable help-yourself coffee. As others have said, this place is in the middle of nowhere so own transport essential. No dining facilities and not much in local town either.

After booking this hotel ( non refundable) I read the reviews on TripAdvisor with some concern. I am very happy to say that we had an excellent stay. The rooms are in good condition, showers have great water pressure, grounds are well maintained and the service was excellent. Breakfast was limited but quite adequate (and this may have to do with extremely low occupancy when we were here in off season). I am adding some photos as of June 2023. I agree that the hotel is quite a long way from all the sites. You will need a car. We hired a car after a recommendation from the hotel front desk. With a car we drove through numerous villages and had the freedom to explore not only Sukhothai but Si Satchanalai Historical Park also. Most sites are 30-40 minutes drive from the hotel.

This place is easy to find, close to the main road, and spacious rooms. Cleanliness is not bad, if it is on the third floor, the building has 3 floors. It will be a bit difficult because there is no elevator. The facilities in the room are not bad. There are kettles, large refrigerators, tables, very long steps 2, you can sit down and work, 3BB fast wireless Internet access in the room, and the bathroom does not have a wet compartment. The parking lot is a bit small. No breakfast overall is ok, recommended.

I've been living here for about a month now and have settled in nicely. The owner is quite nice and despite not speaking a lot of English (he knows the basics), we always seem to communicate accurately. The building is fairly new, built in 2016 and the rooms are cozy. The beds are quite hard (but this is standard in Thailand) and something that can easily be rectified with a mattress topper if you're staying here long-term like me. It has helped my sleep quality dramatically as I prefer a soft mattress. If you're here only short term, the beds are quite big, I would say close to queen size and your body will adjust in a few days (mine did). The bathrooms are also very cozy and the shower has great pressure but the water goes everywhere. Don't be turned off by this though, as it's also quite common in Thailand. The showers also feature a tap. I never need to use the water-heater, and if you prefer cold showers, it's best to take them in the morning as the water gets warm naturally with the heat of the day. The rooms also feature a small balcony that has an outdoor sink (a huge perk for long-term dwellers like me). The AC is very good, but be warned, electric is 8 baht/unit and can add up VERY quickly if you aren't careful. Rooms on the right side of the building are generally cooler and consume less energy due to less sun exposure. If you do not have a car or motorbike, this place is a little off the beaten path, but is very close to town. To get to the nearest 7/11 or local market is about a 20 minute walk. There are also two local restaurants (both EXCELLENT) within ~.5km of the location. Overall, this place has really grown on me, I was pretty stressed out when I first got here so it took me a while to adjust. I love the owner, he is very sweet and always greets me in the morning (or whenever I see him outside). There is ample parking for motorbikes and about 6-7 designated spots for cars. There is also laundry on site for 20 baht/load. Dryers are not available, though. The nightly price seems more than fair for a relatively new building!

Good service, lots of parking, spacious rooms, clean, comfortable, good rooms.

Easy check-in, clean room with its ensuite bathroom. Simple yet appreciated breakfast in the morning. The location was OK for us as we had our own means of transportation. Overall, our overnight stay at K2 met our expectations - very good value option.

The hotel is a few minutes from the airport (there are very few flights and noise is not an issue). It is set in the countryside with rice fields and 'dinosaurs' surrounding you. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and our room was large and very comfortable. It is only a few minutes walk to Sukhothai Heritage Resort where meals are served and the evening meal we had there was very good. An excellent choice for an overnight before a flight although too far away from Sukhothai to consider staying here for longer than that.
