Hotels near Wat Mingmuang

I'm a seasoned traveler, traveling extensively in South/Southeast Asia each year for 2-3 months each time(currently based in Laos, teaching English)....but this was my first visit to Nan. Unfortunately, not one of the hotel staff speak any English. The young ladies at the Reception were most charming and tried to be helpful. They only had maps of Nan in Thai - but were able to indicate to me the location of the Tourist Office. I went to the Tourist Office - but none of the four staffers spoke English either! I don't know if it was because it is the off-season here in SE Asia - or if I just picked a 'bad' arrival day! But it was very difficult to get myself oriented. At the hotel, I also tried to give some clothing items to be laundered...again, a language problem.....and asking for milk (for my coffee) at breakfast. I learned the Khum Muang Min Boutique Hotel is new. Rest assured, the accommodations are most comfortable, clean and attractively furnished -- but the hotel does need to have at least one staffer who speaks a few words of English! Ultimately, I changed my hotel to the Nan Boutique Hotel -- truly one of the most delightful hotels in SE Asia in which I've ever stayed....I will review this when you send me the review page! It made all the difference to my time in Nan. Thank heavens, while finding my way around town, I came across Fhu Travel....and the saint of an owner, who was my 'angel'. She gave me a map of the town....and through her, I planned two day excursions into the countryside and tribal villages - with excellent guide and driver on both days. I highly recommend Mrs. Srisappuris at Fhu Travel to anyone visiting Nan. She offers excellent tours, both of Nan itself and the surrounding area.

Perfect hotel with perfect location. Nice and friendly staffs, they did what im I requested without said no at all. Lovely hotel owner, they are always there at the breakfast to check all guest satisfaction and make sure all your stay is going smooth. The lovely owner also recommended me what to do and where to go, feeling like you are at home Delicious breakfast. And unique hotel design. Me and family had a great time there. You even can park you car there at the hotel and walk around to attractive destination and shopping area. I did book this hotel in my second time to visit in NaN city. If I will visit NaN again, I have no doubt to book there again - even recommend my friends to be there at this lovely hotel. ถ้าพักที่น่านขอแนะนำที่นี้เลยนะค่ะ โรงแรมสวยมากและอยู่ใจกลากทุกอย่างเลย มีที่จอดรถ และเดินเที่ยวได้เลยค่ะ อาหารเช้าอร่อนมากและที่สำคัญ เจ้าของน่ารักมากๆด้วย ดูแลดีและใส่ใจมากเลยค่ะ พนักงานทุกๆคน น่ารักมากค่ะ ขอแนะนำเลยว่าห้ามพลาดมาพักที่นี้เลยค่ะ. ปรกติไม่เคยเขียนยาวขนาดนี้ แต่ happy จริงๆ :)

Wow, I am so glad I booked this hotel after searching for many days online about hotels in Nan. Phumin Place is a beautiful haven, the rooms are huge and so comfortable and the staff are above and beyond helpful. The location is about a 5-second walk to the Night Market and Wat Phumin, but if you want to go further afield, the free bikes on offer are good quality and comfortable. Usually we skip breakfast, but definitely don't here: the breakfast is cooked by the owner's mother and it's high-quality, super tasty, authentic Northern Thai food. A real treat. Will DEFINITELY book here again when we come back to Nan, which, by the way, is an excellent city/province.

The hotel locates near Nan market and major Nan attractions like Wat Phumin and the National museum. It's about 30 minute walk to those attractions. The best thing about this hotel is its owner who made sure we had the most memorable stay in Nan. He and his guest truly lived up to Northern Thai's hospitality! He helped us booked the car to visit nearby national parks which were gorgeous and worth the time and effort. The driver, Jay, took us to the best sites in those parks and took good care of us for the whole time. Even though the hotel is just a boutique hotel but the breakfast served was quite nice with varieties of Thai and Western foods. However, they made the best pad Thai I ever had for our lunch meal! Room is average size but clean and comfortable.

Nan We took the AC bus from Chiang Mai to Nan city. Nan province is in the north east of Thailand and borders Laos. Nan city on the river Nan, is a quiet and as it turned out, attractive and extremely clean little city (population about25,000). Nan, apparently, was an independent kingdom into the 20th century and was only fully integrated into Thailand in 1931. Between the 1960’s and the 1980’s it was controlled by the communists who used the porous border with communist Laos. The “green bus” took about five hours (285 baht) and was very well run with complimentary ice cold water and snacks. The seats were comfortable (I don’t consider myself very rugged when it comes to long distance bus journeys) and the journey afforded quite an insight into the rural north east of Thailand (well wooded and sparsely populated). We had pre- booked with Agoda on line, The Nan boutique hotel. Normally we wouldn’t pre- book or indeed stay at a “boutique hotel” but we were only going for 4 days and fancied a bit of comfort and the price quoted by Agoda of 850baht a night (including breakfast) didn’t seem too hedonistic. We telephoned the hotel as soon as we arrived at Nan bus station and they sent out a complimentary saung tow (taxi) to collect us. The hotel is just over a year old; always a good consideration in Asia. Its on 2 stories in two separate blocks surrounding a garden and parking area. The rooms are fabulous! Boutique hotel/Bali style, AC, flat screen TV, internet, tea and coffee making facilities, fridge etc. The room looked brand new and are very clean ,bright and spacious and apart from the odd cockerel was very quiet. I think that this was the best hotel room we have stayed in , in Asia. Breakfast was served in a very nice open sided restaurant.

Dhevaraj Hotel was very pleasant. The rooms were smallish but they were modern looking and nicely done up with good lighting and furniture. Mattresses were very good, not too hard or too soft. Mini-bar available in the room. No tea/coffee making facilities, mini safe or hair dryer in the room. Also only one available power point in the room. Furniture was modern and enough storage space was provided. Air-con was excellent. Flat screen Cable TV was available including BBC World though only a few other English channels. Bathroom was smallish but one didn't feel too cramped, and also fairly modern. Shower with a small bath but a good shower with excellent water pressure Although we were on the top, 5th, floor, there wasn't much of a view, at least on our side as the buildings nearby were of a similar height. Breakfast was buffet style in the big Coffee Shop, good choice on both days but mainly Thai choices. The rest of the hotel is pleasantly decorated, in a modern fashion, with one large atrium going right up to the roof, which has access corridors to many of the rooms, plus another smaller atrium, where most of the rest of the rooms are located. Many of the corridors have two chairs and a small table outside each of the bedrooms where guests can sit and share a snack with friends or chat to other guests. A very nice feature. Internet WiFi in the room was provided for 30 baht for 2 hours, get the password from Reception. Plenty of car parking spaces available at the back of the hotel. We found the hotel staff to be generally friendly, maybe a little reserved sometimes. As well as Function Rooms, they have a Karaoke Bar, and also a good Massage Parlour. The hotel's location is excellent right on one of the main streets of Nan City right opposite the main market in Nan and within easy walking distance of many sights and the Riverside area. The Dhevaraj wasn't 4 or 5 star luxury but for a 3 star hotel we thought it was excellent.

Hotel is great in location and price However the bathroom is not so big. the shower and toilet is not separated, so it's wet all over. the room also not blocking the outside noise well. so you could hear people talking on a corridor or even other room, hear the sound of closing door or dropping thing. etc nearby has a famous restaurnt which is very good both in price and taste. there's 7-11 around. and it 5 mins walk to wat phu min.

Very kind hotel staff. They pick me up at the airport and help me booking a taxi to Pua. The room is spacious and very clean. Breakfast also is very tasty, have soy bean milk and deep fried Chinese stick. I quite enjoy the breakfast music as well. I will come back if I have another visit to Nan. I like the staff very much, their kindness made this hotel like home. Also you can rent a free bicycle to go around the city, actually the location is also nice. There is a night market with very reasonable price within 5 mins walk. The only thing I would suggest is the air in the room not very fresh, better to open the window for some wind. But all in all, very good choice.

Pros You will feel as a guest of a family, who will treat you with upmost privacy. The rooms are clean and decorated very nicely in a traditional style Excellent free espresso coffee for breakfast. Didn't try the standard American breakfast, but if you request a Thai dish by the Thai name they are happy to make for you as I enjoy savoury rice porridge(keow tom). Family atmosphere in the reception and dining area. Hotel is built out of two adjoining old Chinese shops, with all the original teak stairs and floors beautifully pollished(the same floor boards other reviews complained about, they were only minimally creaky) Services in the room were great water, aircon, drinking water etc. The biggest pro is the place is dirt cheap the price seemed to good to be true. Great location Cons Wifi not working on the night I stayed but I don't go on holiday to surf the net The staff don't speak English very well but do their best to communicate.

We used to visit this small town many times. We could see good and bad points of these hotels. Fah Place Hotel is one another with good location where we can walk to any places. The owner and staff are friendly. We were leaving early at 05.00 am. The hotel made an impressive morning call both by phone and door knock. Bike rent was easily returned at 05.00 am. after a half night use of it. The room was no window and bad air ventilation. It's non sense to increase price to higher floors since all rooms are the same. Generally, the higher is the cheaper because there is no elevator.
