The hype
Travelers love the peaceful river views and the pool, but often underestimate how far it is from the action.
Lanna Dusita Riverside Boutique Resort
$30-75/ noche
Reserva esto si You want a peaceful riverside escape with a nice pool for a fraction of the price of the big luxury chains, and don't mind being a 20-minute Grab ride from the Old City.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Serene location right on the banks of the Ping River
- Infinity-edge pool that looks out over the water
- Excellent value for money compared to city center boutique hotels
Resumen rápido: A charming but slightly aging riverside retreat that trades convenience for quiet—bring mosquito repellent and a Grab account.
Reseñado por @GillDay9484475: I found this hidden gem right on the river and it was exactly the escape I needed. The infinity pool is stunning, and I loved taking the free bikes through the gardens. If you want quiet and authentic Thai vibes over modern luxury, this is the spot.

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is there a gym?
No, there is no fitness center on site. There is a 'Wellness' area for massages, but no workout equipment.
Is it walkable to the Old City?
No. It is a 5-6km distance, which is not walkable in the heat. You need a taxi or scooter.
Is the pool saltwater or chlorine?
It is a chlorinated outdoor pool, though some guests mention it feels softer (possibly mild salt system, but treat as chlorine).
Are there hidden fees?
No resort fees. A 10% service charge is standard in Thailand. Breakfast is extra if not booked with the room.
Can I rent a scooter nearby?
The hotel can arrange scooter rentals for you, which is highly recommended for this location.
Is it pet friendly?
No. Guests are not allowed to bring pets, although the hotel has its own resident dog and cat.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
The 'Garden View' rooms sometimes just face a hedge or wall; upgrade to River View for the actual experience.
- ✨
Walk 15 minutes to the 'Hidden Village' dinosaur park if you have bored toddlers (or want ironic photos).
- ✨
The on-site restaurant 'Hohm Dee' is actually decent and fairly priced if you're too tired to go to town.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The koi pond at the entrance sometimes has an algae problem.
💡Hot water in the showers can be erratic (fluctuates between scalding and cold).
💡There are 'free bicycles' advertised, but they are often old and in need of maintenance—check brakes before riding.
💡The air conditioning in some rooms requires the key card to be inserted, meaning the room gets hot while you are out.
💡Ants can be an issue in the bathroom if you leave any sweet toiletries or food out.
