4 Best Hotels in Phetchaburi, Around Bangkok

This unique contribution to the Phetchaburi lodging scene has everything you'd want from a wallet-friendly bed-and-breakfast, including spotless modern rooms, comfortable beds, excellent Thai food, and warm welcoming service from the friendly owners.

In a cluster of dark-wood plank buildings, these basic rooms are just big enough for beds. The attached restaurant serves Thai and Western food. The hotel rents bikes and motorbikes and arranges treks of varying lengths to Kaeng Krachan National Park, Thailand's largest national park and home to more than 250 bird species.

About 3 km (2 miles) northwest of town, the Royal Diamond is one of Phetchaburi's few choices for those seeking a hotel instead of a guesthouse. Many of the nicely furnished rooms overlook Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park. The rooms are big and functional, but lack a little character. There are a few decent cafés within walking distance.

This simply decorated but nonetheless cozy guesthouse is close to the local attractions and within walking distance of several restaurants, with a modern air-conditioned café just up the street. Only some rooms have air-conditioning (others have fans), TVs, and private bathrooms.
