The State Resort

All rooms at The State Resort have air conditioning, and they measure from 16 to 60 m². Garden views and pool views are both offered, and the Pool Villa has its own private pool. Every room has a private bathroom with a shower.

Beds range from doubles to queen and king beds, and the Family Villa 2 Bedrooms also has a sofa bed and single beds, for groups of up to six guests. Several rooms have a balcony or terrace, flat-screen TVs, mini bars or coffee and tea makers, and the Villa has a kitchenette with kitchenware. Some rooms also have a window and a refrigerator.

The grounds include an outdoor swimming pool and a garden, and fishing is offered on the property. Dining is covered by a restaurant, a bar, a coffee shop and 24-hour room service, with continental breakfast available.

For arrivals, the hotel offers an airport transfer, and free parking on site is available for guests who drive. Daily housekeeping, luggage storage and a doorman round out the services, and family rooms and non-smoking rooms are available, along with a smoking area. Free WiFi is available in all rooms and in the public areas, and internet services are offered across the property. The restaurant, bar and coffee shop are all on site, so meals and drinks do not require leaving the property.

The State Resort sits in the Wat Phrik area of Phitsanulok, a provincial city in northern Thailand with a long tradition of temples and markets. The streets around the hotel are local rather than resort-style, and Naresuan University, with its hospital and its textile museum, is part of the same stretch of the city. The hospital, the university and the textile museum sit in the same part of town as the hotel, with the local life of the streets close by.

Wat Chulamani is 5.3 km away, and the Phitsanulok Night Bazaar is 8.6 km away, a popular evening market for food and shopping. Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat, known as Wat Yai, is 9.6 km away and houses one of the most revered Buddha images in the region. Bung Phra Station, a train stop 3.3 km away, and Phitsanulok Airport, 6.1 km away, are the main transport links.

A practical day could begin at Wat Yai, with the Sgt. Maj. Thawee Folk Museum and Wat Chulamani visited on the same route, and the night bazaar left for the evening. Sukhothai Historical Park, the ruins of the old Sukhothai kingdom, is a common day trip from Phitsanulok and is worth a full day of walking between the ancient monuments.
