A 4-star resort in Samut Songkhram

Samut Songkhram, located on the outskirts of Bangkok, is a picturesque destination. Who wouldn't enjoy shopping at the floating market, where colorful fruits, vegetables, and spices are displayed on boats? And who could resist a river cruise on the Mae Klong?

If you're heading to Samut Songkhram soon, Baan Amphawa Resort will be delighted to welcome you to its holiday village, beautifully lining the Mae Klong River, just 4 km from Bang Kung Temple. The village concept is simple yet elegant: luxurious villas amidst Thailand's orchards and salt marshes. With their sloping roofs, the rooms oddly resemble a Buddhist pagoda.

No convenience is overlooked: wireless internet, coffee machine, private bathroom… The view of the tropical garden from the window is remarkable. For wellness enthusiasts, customizable spa treatments await. Whether you opt for sea holly or melo leaves, unwind and rejuvenate your weary muscles. Baan Amphawa Resort is an ideal retreat for relaxation, stress relief, and reconnecting with nature, just an hour and 20 minutes drive from Bangkok.

Where is the Baan Amphawa Resort located?

Baan Amphawa Resort welcomes you 65 kilometers southeast of Thailand's capital city. It's a hidden gem behind the canals and lagoons of Amphawa. Traveling by plane? Expect a 90-kilometer journey from Bangkok's Don Mueang Airport to the resort. Children are welcome, but pets are not allowed on the property.

For an address outside Bangkok, remember: 22 Bangapom, Kaew Fah Road, Amphoe Amphawa, Samut Songkhram, 75110 Amphawa, Thailand.

Rooms and suites at the resort

Guests can choose from a wide range of accommodations. Standard rooms feature a color TV with remote control, a DVD player, and tea and coffee facilities. All are air-conditioned and equipped with Wi-Fi.

Higher classes offer additional perks. In the Luxury and Super Luxury categories, guests stay on the top floor for outstanding views and share a small heated pool with a jacuzzi. Booking a villa provides a private living room and pool.

For an unforgettable experience, opt for the unique boat-shaped house, the hotel's architectural signature. Half a century ago, it was a teakwood rice barge. The owner transformed it into accommodation for tourists. With two single beds, a small sitting area, and windows overlooking a tropical orchard, it's unmatched for a romantic getaway.

Quality dining options

The Baan Amphawa Resort's cuisine is a major highlight, not only delicious but also health-conscious. There's a restaurant and two bistros on-site.

• Saban-Nga Restaurant is known for its delicious seafood cuisine and river view. Chef specialties include grilled freshwater prawns, spicy pomelo salad, mackerel soup, and young coconut jelly.
• Lotus Bar: After a long stroll, relax with a drink while admiring the river view.
