Hotels near Thao Ko Sa Forest Park in Pran Buri

First night sleep in our travel south. While the trip started with clear sky it was heavy storm exactly once we arrived at the hotel. They were waiting for us as we were the only guests. Entrance is in the back of the hotel - little walk from car park. Entrance landscape is beautiful. The hotel is old. You can see that owners are trying to add some ”life” to it but skipped doing some serious renovation - so the room itself is very basic. Very few of the room have good view to the sea as the hotel building is behind the few Villa of the front. WIFI = good Swim Pool - nice - on the main road but face the sea. Breakfast was set menu - it was ok - served with smile Good price value

The hotel has created relaxing and slow-down vibes for every guest staying there. I stayed 10 nights and I've never got bored walking in the huge lovely garden. The singing of birds is cheerful and crisp. I love all the details of the eco-friendly facilities including clothes hangers and toilet paper holders. It's a very quiet and peaceful place. I love the long corridor from the front desk to the pavilion. The long seaside path just outside the hotel is ideal for jogging. All the facilities are well-maintained. You can get everything you expected for a quiet and relaxed vacation. The breakfast has many kinds of bread selection. All the staff is very helpful and kind. I'd like to express my special thanks to PA and AOY. Thanks for your kind support during my stay. I will be back in the future.

First the good - the enormous room overlooking the sea was bright and comfortable. In fairness the hotel has been hard hit by the lock down rules but the few staff made every effort to put things right when the was a shortfall. Breakfast ok, but basic. When I found out that the fried eggs were cold the cook immediately came up with freshly made fried eggs. The investment needed to bring this 2/3 star hotel up to scratch will be enormous but this type of hotel is probably beyond its sell-by date. One surprise were the splendid bas-reliefs on the walls of the conference room, just visble from the dining room.

The location of the hotel is very good. There are large shopping malls and seafood street night markets nearby. There is a Thai chef at the door. There is a Western restaurant in the hotel. Free parking in a large parking lot. There is an indoor swimming pool on the third floor of the hotel. You are not afraid of being tanned by the sun. The indoor facilities are also very good. New, the room is relatively small, cost-effective, will come again next time!

I’m only giving this hotel 3 stars. Which might seem harsh. The staff are friendly and helpful apart from the barman on the rooftop. The rooms are clean and tidy and modern, the room I stayed in was low down and had a dingy feel to it, no view of anything other than the other the hotel facing me, with no balcony it gives you a claustrophobic feel and I was pretty keen not to spend to much time in the room, considering the hotel was empty it might have been a smart thing to do, give me a better room! There’s no way I’d stay there again after that. The location isn’t that close to the main attractions, this is why It’s not as expensive as some of the other resorts. It’s not miles away but on the edge of town, 15 min ride in a car, as opposed to walking distance that the other resorts offer and let’s face transportation isn’t expensive, so this may not be a problem for some people. Now the complimentary drink they offer a glass of pineapple juice from the carton poured in a shot glass. I have to mention this because it’s such a joke, why even offer a free drink if this is what it is? You’d have to be Incredibly dumb to think this is a great idea to give your guests. It’s a insult to people staying at the hotel, don’t offer it to them it’s a embarrassment to the hotel and reflection of intelligence’s of who’s running the place. To Summarise it’s not the worst Hotel you’ll ever stay by no means but just silly little things they could improve which would make a world of difference. I will not be back again.

The Lapa has a quite unique location, right next to the new BluPort mall. Free parking in front of the hotel. The rooms are amazing, murals on the walls, brightly coloured tiles in the very modern bathroom. Showers tall with lots of space. Very comfortable beds, fridge and safe deposit box in the room. A kettle with coffee and tea provided. It's a really cozy room, with a sitting area at the window. Very clean and freshly painted. Breakfast was good, nice extra is freshly blended fruit juice, which you can chose at a little stall. This is a pet friendly hotel, so we met people travelling with their cats and a couple who brought 2 Yorkshire terriers. Unfortunately they yapped for while whilst the owners went for dinner, but all quiet at night 😊 A really nice place to stay, if you have a car it's not far from the beach or the Cicada Market.

Do not book this hotel if you do not drive! It is away from the main road and very dark at night. There are also stray dogs at the entrance of the road into the hotel that might attack you only at night. Very scary experience. The room is clean and nice, very value for money.

A lovely find on the middle of Hua Hin. Walking distance to the night market. A shuttle bus service takes you to the beach, and they will pick you up too. Rooms are big and there is a great swimming pool to relax and have some food and a drink. The breakfast was a bit disappointing as limited choice. Good for a 2 night stay.

One of the top nicest places I have ever stayed in. Went with my wife and three other close friends to stay in one of their 3-bedroom villas. The location is wonderful, about 12-15 minutes from the markets , beaches and such of Hua Hin, in a very picturesque hillside area. The resort itself is modern (about a year old) elegant, and restful. Our 3 bedroom villa had 3 separate bedrooms (with separate access), each with their own bathrooms. One had twin beds while the other two had king beds. One even had it's own jacuzzi bath. Between the bedrooms was an onsen (hot springs bath) with a beautiful waterfall, and a huge private pool area (with a large pool for swimming as well as a jacuzzi pool and a pool for kids). Separately, there was a very large living area combined with a complete kitchen and very large dining area. The resort itself is quiet given its location and the bedrooms seemed to be quite sound proofed as we couldn't hear any noises. Khun Arm, the manager and her team were kind and helpful above and beyond expectations.

Having visited once or twice before the standards are still impeccable. Lovely little pool and if you get bored with it stroll across the road to experience the mighty ocean. Great breakfast, superb rooms and just a nice place to relax with opportunities to bike around or visit national park or the pineapple fields in the surrounding countryside. Beers and food significantly cheaper than nearby Hua Hin or Cha Am.
