very quaint, old teakhouse complex. Bordering on shabby. A bit of ground maintenance will be in order soon. We were upgraded to the deluxe room for free, due to lack of other guests, so that was much appreciated. The deluxe room was really nice and spacious and away from the main road noise. The standard rooms downstairs did not look... more

We were so excited to stay at this hotel after all the reviews we had read. And its true - the old house and antiques are very special and charming and it is right on the river, and just 5 minutes from the airport.

The rooms are individually styled, not unlike a small boutique guesthouse. There's a Chinese and Thai fusion that gives the rustic charm of the building a warm sophistication that's lost on large commercial hotels... more

Upon arriving at the River Ping Palace we were struck by the authentic Thai atmosphere that surrounds the place. The hotel is nestled on the river, an old wooden structure that has charming rooms, great staff, and excellent food. Red orb lanterns hang throughout the place gracing it with an exotic ambiance in the evening time. The staff here is... more
