Baan Luang Rajamaitri Historic Inn

The thin walls were noticeable: during the day we could hear road noise and dogs barking outside, though it got much quieter in the evening. We brought a small portable noisemaker and slept without any trouble, and the AC worked splendidly. We also loved the peaceful mornings, eating the complimentary breakfast by the water. My husband and I spent three days here on our honeymoon. It’s a beautiful, unique inn unlike anywhere we’d stayed before. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. At their suggestion, we visited a local jeweler and found several pieces we absolutely loved. The rooms were very clean, and plenty of cafes and a couple of local bars were a two-minute walk away. All the restaurants we ate at were within a ten-minute walk. If you’re staying in Chanthaburi, you should stay here.

My wife and I spent two days here and loved the authentic, beautiful place. The ladies working there made the stay especially good with their hospitality. After exploring the city, we felt this was the nicest area to stay in. We’d recommend booking at the Luang Rajamaitri 🙏🏻.

Even after more than seven years, the hotel staff still send me a handwritten postcard every year, welcoming me back. Each one has a timeless black-and-white drawing of the hotel that captures its historic charm and heartfelt spirit. I’ve kept every card, and they now hang on my wall as a gallery of memories, love, and connection. I’ve stayed at over 100 hotels across Thailand, and none has shown this kind of personal care and sincerity. These notes feel like reminders of the deep kindness and genuine hospitality of the Thai people here. My first stay was perfect. Thank you for every single card. This place is a rare gem of hospitality that stays with you for years.

A lovely house hotel, perfect for our one-night stop before heading to Koh Chang.
