We recently visited Sanfhan Resort at 505 Khao Chaisson, Pattalung. There are many examples of this type of accommodation in Thailand and they vary widely in quality and cost. Sanfhan Resort is very cool. It is a new resort, modern and very clean. Each unit is designed for privacy and has a large double bed, some have two beds. The comfortable beds have crisp white duvets. Each unit incorporates a seperate bathroom with shower and hot water. These units are very reasonably priced considering the high standards provided. The resort is set in a really peaceful spot close to a coconut plantation and also has an excellent view of the mountain. The hot springs and caves are within easy walking distance. There isn't a restaurant on site but there is a good selection of restaurants close by. The Khao Chatdon railway station is minutes away by car or a 20 minute walk from the resort. The owners are very passionate about maintaining their resort to the highest standard. Their family has lived in the area for generations so they know all of the attractions and happily share their knowledge of best sites to visit. There is great car parking on site. This is a really nice...
Read moreWe took a train from Phattalung to Khao Chaison and booked a 4 night stay in Sanfhan resort. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the family hosts were friendly and helpful. They had free bicycle which we used to explore the area but there is not too much to do apart from relaxing and taking in the stunning surroundings.The small town is a 20 minute walk and has 7/11 and Tesco express. I had a wonderful hair wash in town for 100b and made use of the full body massage which is at the hot springs for 120b. The hot springs is just around the corner from Sanfhan and previous reviews of the springs give a good account. The local people are very friendly, We enjoyed our time at Khao Chaison and it gave us the chance to experience a small community surrounded by nature. Getting out of Khao Chaison we had to take a train back to Phattalung, then songtaew to the bus Station for a bus to Trang but it was all relatively...
Read moreVery friendly rooms near Khao Chaison hot springs.
A lovely guest house that is within walking distance to the hot springs and also not far from 'Tham Nam Yen' the rowboat through the cave site. We booked one of the cheapest rooms which are a bit small but fully functional with a comfortable bed, water kettle, good size fridge, AC, TV and hot water showers. It was ok for one night, staying longer we would have probably booked one of their free-standing bungalows for 700 or 750B per night (I forgot the exact price). Some of the rooms in main building also have big balconies, we didn't ask how much they cost per night.
The owners of the resort are very friendly and made us feel at home. Some reviews mention lack of food in the area: we were lucky enough to visit during a local fair by the hotsprings, there were plenty of food vendors to bring back to the hotel and eat at the dining table by the...
