This is a small hotel, with just 19 rooms, but they didn’t skimp on the amenities! From the world-class spa to the pillow menu this hotel really does pay attention to the details. The only room I didn’t like was the Royal Grand Deluxe where the front door enters onto the bathroom area. The other rooms have the front doors into the main rooms and I preferred the rooms with balconies as they had that outdoor area as well. I loved the breakfast and pool area and the library and lobby are a great mix of colonial charm and Thai history. This hotel is perfect if you want to truly feel that you’re in an exotic destination and you want a boutique option that still includes the nice extras we all like.

Insiders tip: The Nakara Spa, Wellness from Within, is a joy, try the Indian hot oil massage!
