Korat Hotels - any suggestions

[Rhoel 2]

I'm thinking of heading up to Korat at Songkran with a certain BG ... looking for a guest friendly hotel, not too expensive since I suspect I will be entertaining her family for much of the time, (you know the sort of thing, meals, day trips, buffalo market .... ::))

 

Someone suggested the Sripatana Hotel on Suranaree Road, has pool, bar and restaurant.

 

Has anyone stayed there or got any better suggestions?

 

TIA

Hello Rhoel,

 I traveled to Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima) in August.  While I was there my TG and I stayed at the Rachaphruk Grand Hotel.  I paid 1500b a night.  Free breakfast for two was included.  http://www.rachaphruk.com  We spent most days with her family.  We bought food at the market and her family prepared it in their home.  The hotel is first rate and I would easily recommend it.  There is a HUGE Big-C nearby also where I purchased food that wasn't available in the market (My TG's daughter has a real taste for Pringles).  Good luck on your trip.

Thanks Ghost ... I'll fax off some information requests tomorrow. I'll have my camera/s with me and no doubt will present a trip report ... hopefully, the more members who head up-country and tell of thier adventures, the more will follow after.

 

BTW, my experiences of Big-C type stores was tarnished after being dragged into one neaqr BKK by my then pregant TGs sisters, to go shopping in the baby section - my wallet still hurts

 

regards

Hi,

I spent a night at the Sripatana last December with the gf. Price was 500 or 600 baht. Excellent hotel for the price. We had a big double bed. Didn't have time to use the pool, but it looked nice. Free but limited breakfast - but that was probably due to showing up right before they started cleaning up. Very friendly and helpful staff.

I am currently in Korat and am staying at the Korat Hotel. Nice room aircon big bed only 500 Bt. Near the Night market. Have also stayed at the Chomsurang Hotel nearby but this is now very jaded. Evidently there is a new bar street in Korat. I will check it out tonight and report later if anyone is interested.
