Our top 10 places to stay in and around Tha Khaek Loop
Big rooms
Xokxaykham is housed in a large yet welcoming building on Route 8, and big building means big rooms and the rooms here have oodles of space, with lots of furniture to spread out on.
This includes a vanity, desk, tables (plural), chair, hat stand—and somehow there’s still room to move around. Want to spread out even more? Continue outside to the communal balcony. It’s not a million dollar view but it’s still a pleasant area to relax with a vantage of the surrounding greenery.
Mod cons include fan or air-con, TV, WiFi and a hot water shower in the slightly mildewed functional bathroom with western toilet.
You’ll have to venture out for a bite to eat as there’s no onsite restaurant and it’s a few hundred metres to the town centre, bus station and market. This minor inconvenience aside, Xokxaykham Guesthouse is another solid choice for budget travellers in Na Hin and the owner speaks some English.
