The Chamuang Forest

The Chamuang Forest offers standard rooms, deluxe rooms, villas and a two-bedroom house, several of them with a nature view or a garden view. Rooms can have air conditioning, a mini bar, a sofa, a hair dryer and a shower.

Several rooms measure 29 or 37 m². The Pool Villa 1-Bedroom and the Waterfront Villa 2 Bedroom are both villas, and the Waterfront Villa sleeps up to six guests. The Two-Bedroom House measures 37 m² and has a king bed, a sofa bed and two single beds. Some rooms have a private bathroom, a balcony or terrace, a refrigerator and an electric kettle.

The restaurant serves a menu with local flavours and international favourites, and the coffee shop offers freshly brewed coffee and light snacks. Breakfast is a free buffet with bread, fruit and hot dishes, and there is a bar and room service for the rest of the day.

Outdoor and leisure activities include canoeing, mini golf, karaoke and on-site entertainment, and the grounds have a garden and a terrace. Tours can be arranged, concierge help is available, and guests can use luggage storage, dry cleaning, daily housekeeping and meeting space for events.

Guests who drive can use the on-site parking, which is free, and the hotel offers Wi-Fi in public areas as well as in the rooms.

The Chamuang Forest is in Muang Nakhon Nayok, the district around the provincial town in central Thailand, where forested countryside and waterfalls lie within a short distance of the hotel. For visitors who want trees and water rather than city streets, the hotel's gardens are the place to start.

Khao Yai National Park is 16.8 km away, a large protected area of forest that draws visitors who want to walk among trees. Closer to the hotel, Nang Rang Waterfall is 2.4 km away and Sarika Waterfall 3.5 km, while Wat Tham Sarika, a temple, is 3 km away and the Mini-Zoo sits 1.6 km away. A car makes these easy to reach, and the hotel has free parking on site. Waterfalls, a temple, a zoo and a national park all lie close to the hotel, so it works well as a base for several days of exploring.

A good day could start with a walk to Nang Rang Waterfall, continue to Wat Tham Sarika for the temple, and finish with a drive to Khao Yai National Park for longer walks through the forest. Back at the hotel, the restaurant and the coffee shop make a simple place to end the day, and the free parking keeps the return journey easy.
