Padang Besar In front of Border Private room & Hostel

The rooms at Padang Besar In front of Border Private room & Hostel run from a single bed in a mixed dormitory room to a 280 m² vacation home with four bedrooms, sleeping up to 19 guests. In between are twin rooms of 16 m² with a mountain view, family rooms for up to ten guests and a quadruple room with a double bed and a queen bed.

Several rooms have air conditioning, soundproofing and mosquito nets, and many of them have a shared bathroom with a shower, towels and toiletries. Bed set-ups vary from room to room, so the sleeping arrangements suit both couples travelling light and larger groups who want rooms side by side.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and in the public areas, and there is free on-site private parking. The property also offers an airport transfer and a paid shuttle service, along with currency exchange, safety deposit boxes and dry cleaning.

Guests can use the shared lounge and TV area, the terrace and the shared kitchen, and there is a coffee shop on site. Daily housekeeping and express check-in and check-out are offered, and the property is smoke-free, with non-smoking rooms.

Family rooms are among the rooms, and air conditioning runs in the public areas as well. Free parking is on site, and the property has an airport transfer among its services, with the nearest airport about 31 km away.

Padang Besar is a border town in Songkhla province, in southern Thailand, where the rail and road links to Malaysia cross the frontier. The area is practical rather than scenic, and its life centres on the crossing and on the shops that serve travellers passing through.

The train station is a short walk from the property, and the bus station for Hat Yai, the ZON - duty free and the Border Bazzar are all nearby. Hat Yai, the largest city in southern Thailand, is home to the Asean Night Bazaar, and Hat Yai International Airport is 31 km away for those arriving by air.

A day trip to Namtok Ton Nga Chang, a waterfall 33.3 km away, makes a good change from the border area. In the evening, the night market in Hat Yai gives a fuller picture of the city, with food stalls and shops open into the night. Back at the property, guests can use the shared kitchen, the lounge and the terrace, and the coffee shop is on site. Breakfast is served as an à la carte Asian dish with juice and fruit, so mornings start at the property before a day out along the border or further afield to Hat Yai.
