Thaweesuk Hotel

The staff were lovely, and it was a soulful little hostel, clean and very cheap. The breakfast listing was a bit misleading, since we had to make it ourselves. Still, we were very satisfied with our stay, and the air conditioning worked as it should.

The family-owned hotel is in a 100-year-old historic building. The owners are friendly, speak great English, and keep everything super clean. There's a cozy lobby hangout with plenty of seats, plus a collection about the area's old tin mining history. They serve breakfast and homemade pizza, and the fridge is stocked with drinks and beer. Laundry service is available too. I love that they recycle. It's nice to see Thailand keeping the streets clean and teaching people not to litter. It's working.

The historic building has a nice atmosphere, and the staff are helpful and speak great English, so it's still a good choice. There aren't many hotel options in Phang Nga, and this may be the best-known one. A couple of drawbacks: the windows aren't fully transparent, and if your room is on one side of the hotel, a loud rooster will likely wake you in the morning.

Thank you for a lovely stay and for all the help. The rooftop view of the mountains around us and the morning fog was breathtaking. Our room was big enough for all of us, and when we couldn't find coffee in the evening, they made some for us. We did find the beds hard, though perhaps there are other options. I still woke refreshed! The owners are charming and share their family's story about this antique hotel. There's plenty of information to read around the lobby. For dessert, they suggested a night market soy milk stand and lent us mugs to bring it back in, which also cut down on single-use plastic.
