Find hotels near Tha Tum in Surin, Thailand

Who would expect a hotel in Tha Tum. Well, there is one and it is all very special. The hotel is located in a part of a shop house complex. My room (a de luxe single bed) was in a shophouse at street level. So I entered my room straight from the street via sliding doors. Don’t worry as it is very and very quiet in Tha Tum. I was warmly welcomed by the manager who spoke very well English. He is trying to make most of it by being as efficient as possible. He himself is assisting with breakfast and the receptionist is servicing guests at breakfast as well as cleaning the rooms. The hotel has a restaurant on the second floor, but behind the place on the Mun river is a floating restaurant with an extensive menu for very reasonable prices. The excellent food is cooked in the main building and is transported by cable to the pontoon. Staff is very friendly and will do whatever is required to give you a pleasant stay. Note that for them some basic Thai language skills are recommended. All in all a unique experience.

If you want a place too stay close too the elephant village and don't care about if it's clean and you don't care about swimming in a disgusting pool so go for it. But just know it seams 10 times better in pictures then in real life. I didn't even care to stay at this place for even a minute. There is resorts around that is much better then this place but then you will need some sort of transportation.

Considering that the main customers and thus majority of rooms and prices are geared for Thai, the regular tourist should book the best rooms only. Doing this will secure a clean adequate sized room with airco, fridge, tv and bathroom at good value for money! Staff services and attendance is most correct and pleasurable aimed in securing the customers requirement. The quit, orderly and clean resort is a few minutes outside the center of Thatum village, a village with only Thai restaurants / food, 1 Tesco and 2 ea 7/11, a daily local market for daily food and house and agricultural supplier. Interest and respect for Thai cultural will contribute to enjoying your stay at Thatum.
