  • This STUNNING royal suite in North Thailand is cheaper than many budget hotels I've seen. Ibis hotels can be great value but can't compare. This amazing hotel will take you back in time through Thai royal history. I stayed at the Shinnabhura Historic Boutique Hotel in Phitsanulok Province and was totally blown away. Far away from the hotels in Pattaya and Phuket this hidden gem is located on the outskirts of Phitsanulok town. I give an extensive tour of the hotel and this amazing royal suite.

    I know this hotel, it's down the street from Lotus and Global House (my Thai Home Depot). It's a good hotel. It's $180/night on Expedia..
    On trip just this past May, we stayed at the Grand Central Point Space in Pattaya. A new hotel with a small Waterpark with a wave pool (my son love this hotel). Near a Terminal 21 mall. That mall has a decent food court also has a night food market below it.

Well James she announced that we will stay in that hotel going to Chiang Rai next month. So now my savings for July will be spent on a hotel 😅. But honestly we pass through that area many times a year and we never stop there. We usually stop for a night in Uttaradit with the psychotic poodle and the missus of course.

Decent prices and a massive pool and the corner rooms at least are great (not tried the others). Have a look. About 2500 a night. I LL be using it for flights in and out in future unless it gets too expensive/ popular. Free airport transit. Does have alot of Chinese tourists,
