Full House Khao Yai

The property and stay were great overall. It's a fairly new place run by new people, and that showed in a couple of hiccups: the check-in woman tried to give us two different rooms for our consecutive stay, and we were told the wrong breakfast hours. They did still serve us breakfast.

The staff are super friendly and welcoming, and the place feels like home. Chef WAD, as I heard the name, makes a simple but really delicious local breakfast. Her bakmi moo is the standout, and the moo krob with kailan is mouthwatering. There are also buffet-style fried rice and moo sab, plus hotdogs, bread, fried eggs, watermelon, instant coffee, tea, orange juice, water, and a few other things shown in the photos. Breakfast is worth adding to the booking. It tastes like it was cooked with love. It's a well-managed hotel of about 15 rooms, roughly 3 years old. The rooms are clean, practical and quiet, with a fridge, dryer, kettle, coffee and tea items, adjustable AC, and a modern toilet. The water pressure is light, which is understandable given water can be harder to come by, and the flush is light too but works. There's ample parking, and the pool is clean with a daily cleaner. You wake up to birds chirping, and there's a house dog that prowls around its area, a friendly mascot. Geng tisut. If you're driving, it's a good stopover: peaceful and close enough to the Pak Chong core, with nature nearby.

The room had a high ceiling and a little balcony, and breakfast was nice. It needs to be ordered a day ahead, then you can help yourself to coffee, tea, fresh salad, sausages and fried eggs. The hotel is tucked into a quiet corner of Pak Chong, and the price felt fair for the quality and service. The double bed was made from two singles, and the middle kept separating. There was also a stale smell in the bathroom. It wasn't too bad, but noticeable.

We only stayed overnight and got in late. Check-in and checkout were straightforward, and the room was spacious and comfortable. The location was good, not too far from shops and restaurants. There's a small cafe on site with what looked like a nice selection, though I didn't eat there.
