Wat Khao Tham Ma Rong

Great hotel if you’re looking for a spot on your Bangkok to Phuket drive. Awesome food!

The staff are absolutely lovely, really kind & friendly. Breakfast is decent, eggs cooked to order & lovely juice / fruits but terrible coffee. The location is great, on a quiet road in the countryside & just 15 min or so walk from beach & restaurants. Chumphon is a 20-25 minute drive. The room (cottage) is super basic & not worth the high price, the bed was so hard! It is clean & functional though & you get a nice little deck. The property was once clearly beautiful with great facilities but sadly everything is run down, to the point of dangerous in places. The main pool has broken tiles around it & the liner is damaged, the loungers are rotting & the cushions on them are horrible.. the small pool is now just a pond in the seemingly abandoned garden area. The main pool was so full of bugs it was not really nice to swim, on the last morning it was thoroughly cleaned but unfortunately it took all morning in prime swimming time & meant I couldn't use it before I left! :( Overall I wouldn't recommend it at the price, if it was half then I would for sure!
