Chok Phikul Thong Resort

Both the Standard Room and the Family Room measure 28 m² and have air conditioning. The Standard Double Room and the Room Assigned on Arrival each sleep up to three guests, so the resort's rooms cover couples, small groups and families.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, and the resort provides daily housekeeping. Guests travelling as a larger party can book the Family Room, which sleeps up to four guests.

The front desk is open 24 hours, and the resort offers luggage storage and daily housekeeping. Free parking is available on site, which suits guests who arrive by car.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, along with satellite and cable channels. Rooms can have air conditioning, blackout curtains, a desk, linens, free bottled water and a balcony or terrace.

Non-smoking rooms are offered, and a smoking area is available for guests who smoke. Family rooms are available, and English and Thai are spoken at the front desk, which is staffed around the clock. Luggage storage is available for guests, and the resort also offers room service for meals brought to the room.

The resort is in Kamphaeng Saen, a district of Nakhon Pathom province in central Thailand. The surroundings are rural and low-rise, with farmland, villages and a campus area, so the pace is quieter than in Bangkok. Travellers who want a calm base in the countryside west of the capital, and who plan to explore by train or by car, will find the area a practical starting point.

Thung Bua Station is 1.3 km from the resort, and it is the nearest rail stop for those who want to travel by train, whether for a day trip or for onward journeys. The Kamphaeng Saen Arboretum is 2 km away, a garden of trees, and Wat Kamphaeng Saen, a temple, is 2.5 km away. Both are close enough to combine in a single outing, with the rest of the day spent at the resort.

Both airports are a long way off: Don Mueang International Airport is 69.6 km away, and Suvarnabhumi Airport is 91.7 km away, so plan the journey in advance. Free parking on site makes the resort a practical base for those who drive. A day trip could start at the Arboretum, continue with a visit to the temple and end back at the resort in the evening.
