Khum Phucome Hotel: One of the Best Hotels in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Khum Phucome Hotel: One of the Best Hotels in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Leave a Comment / accommodation, hotel, review, thailand, travel / By

If you're giggling a little when you read the hotel's name, “Khum Phucome” as you think of some inappropriate English words, you're as immature as I am. LOL. In fact, the first reason why my boyfriend and I ended up booking a room at Khum Phucome Hotel in Chiang Mai was actually for the sake of banter because of the name.

Initially, we were eyeing Pingviman Hotel for our accommodation in Chiang Mai as we were keen to stay in one of their rooms with a jacuzzi inside the bathroom. We were traveling to Chiang Mai on Valentine's day, so we were ready to splurge a little for our romantic getaway in North Thailand.

I suppose we weren't the only couple who were aiming to stay at Pingviman Hotel in Chiang Mai, and the next thing we knew was that the hotel was no longer available when we were ready to book our accommodation in Chiang Mai.

When we scrolled through the other options in Agoda, we came across Khum Phucome Hotel and we were joking that this would be a perfect hotel for Valentine's day as a couple. The joke's on us because when we scrolled through the information and the photos of the property… We found out that the hotel looked quite decent in the pictures. So then we decided to book a room there.

After sharing some of the best things to do in Chiang Rai recently, it's time for me to review the accommodation where we stayed for two nights there. We stayed at Pimanninn Hotel in Chiang Rai, and I have mixed opinions about this hotel. If I can be honest, staying at Pimanninn is probably my least favorite decision in Chiang Rai.

Don't get me wrong, the hospitality of their staff is great, but they can surely improve in some other aspects. So in this post, I'm going to share my firsthand experience of staying at Pimanninn Hotel in Chiang Rai.

Tara Raft Kanchanaburi was the last accommodation we booked as we decided to stay overnight in Kanchanaburi just a few days before my boyfriend and I flew to Bangkok earlier this year. Situated on the River Kwai, we decided to book Tara Raft Guesthouse in Kanchanaburi as our accommodation during our stay in this small city.

Compared to our other accommodations during our last Thailand trip, Tara Raft Kanchanaburi is the most budget-friendly as we booked it last minute. Despite that, the guesthouse got everything we needed during our short stay in Kanchanaburi. From comfy bed to strategic location, here's my review from our stay at Tara Raft Guesthouse in Kanchanaburi!

Grand Hotel Preanger: A Historic Hotel in Bandung, Indonesia

Grand Hotel Preanger: A Historic Hotel in Bandung, Indonesia

1 Comment / accommodation, hotel, indonesia, review, travel / By

People in Bandung will most likely know about Grand Hotel Preanger, but the hotel isn't as popular outside Indonesia despite the fact that this hotel is rich in history, even internationally.

For people in Asia and Africa, they may hear about the hotel from the history books where they mentioned the Bandung Conference in 1955. For aviation enthusiasts or those who are drawn to conspiracy theories, Grand Hotel Preanger was where Amelia Earhart stayed in Bandung just a few days before she's gone missing around the Pacific.

After having a staycation at Savoy Homann Hotel a few years ago, I decided to splurge a little and book another staycation at Grand Hotel Preanger. But this time, I decided to spend a little bit extra to book two hotel rooms at the Naripan Suite, which is the historical part of the hotel building.

It was good timing as I booked it when my grandma came to town, and my cousin took a break from school. With the staycation experience at one of the historical buildings in Bandung and the fact that the hotel has a mini museum to learn about the city's history, here's the story from my staycation at Grand Hotel Preanger!
