We had a wonderful three night stay at Ping Nakara Boutique Hotel. The location is fabulous if you want to visit the markets which are an easy ten minute walk away, or you can grab one of the tuk tuk taxis out in the street. …

An exceptional hotel with great atmosphere and services.The building itself is very nice with wood carvings everywhere.At check in we were greeted with drinks and towels.The room was nicely decorated for our honeymoon. It is spacious with high ceiling, a barhtub and a balcony overseeing the pool.All the items in the minibar are complimentary and refilled daily. We also got a voucher for free drinks at the hotel bar.The breakfast area is small but the food served was very tasty with many varieties.The pool is nice but we didn't swim during our stay.All the staff were super nice and friendly at all times.Our stay at this hotel was superb and we would love to stay here again another time.
