Hotels Near Isaraparp Pagoda (Somdet Pra Naresuan Maharat Pagoda) in Khao Kho

3rd time here ever since it opened around 2015. Only 5 exclusive units that looked onto the twin ridges of the fog shrouded mountains in the national park. A lot has changed over the years. The stylish café above has now expanded. There is now a restaurant block cast in glass and a new hotel rendered in grey like a Star Trek Borg Cube is now under construction by this same establishment. There is also now a parking lot and still, all these developments are not able to cope with the marauding horde of weekend and holiday crowds. This mountain where Pino Latte stands had gain popularity at an exponential rate. With popularity then comes unrestrained developments by other investors. There are multiple resorts encroaching on this once desolated mountain. There is one big Chinese restaurant further up the narrow road. I used to gaze out from behind our unit in Pino Latte back in 2015. It was only pleasant green and the two futuristic star-dock structures of the café above. Now as I gazed the surrounding, it is a chaotic clutter of property un-synch with the once mystical avant-garde vibes which the lone Pino Latte used to offer. I still like Pino Latte even though the price for a night’s stay is rather extravagant. On the right day with the right combination of climatic events, misty fog mask out the new eyesores that were constructed in recent years. And rooms are well maintained, they did not deteriorate too much in this humid environment from the first 2 times I was here. Breakfast is now served in the restaurant block instead of the common café where public guest aplenty. Ala-carte styled, perfect scrambled eggs and grilled asparagus I had. We also had the boiled rice which was served centerstage in a large dim sum bamboo basket surrounded by an assortment of condiments. The food layout was certainly trendy. All good things said, the noncontrollable factor of stampeding weekend crowds plus the excessive destruction of surrounding nature probably means this is the last time I am going to be here. This region has lost her magical touch. I wish we can turn back the clock, but we know we can’t.

Advantages: Located in a good location. Near tourist attractions The rooms are clean. Comments There is breakfast (porridge in a bag) to eat. Dinner has grilled meat as an option. Small set price 400+, large set 500+. Dishes and sinks are provided. I want ice. You can buy it outside. Before entering the accommodation The accommodation has a little private area. 4/10

Property is beautiful. Very quiet and we had relaxing 2 nights. Restaurant staffs are very nice and sweet specially Bom. All the staffs are very kind, hospitable and ready to help. If they don’t have language barrier they can do better. It’s good to have females but specially physical jobs such as luggage delivering and pick up men presence is better. Owners must think about the maintenance of the property. We like our experience and had a wonderful time.

Staying at this hotel is easy to find, convenient transportation costs because it's on the side of the road. It's a newly opened hotel, clean, not expensive, there's a little snack to eat in the morning, the service staff is good, the interior items are still new, but there isn't much to eat around the hotel. If you eat and then check in, you don't have to leave. It's convenient. The hotel has an elevator so you don't have to carry your bags up yourself.

Quiet accommodation, wide parking, pool view, friendly price, soft bed, cool air conditioner, overall good. Staying alone may be lonely.

The boss is very cute and welcoming just like living in a relative's house. Spacious rooms, good facilities, clean accommodation, great value accommodation. Not far from the city, easy to go anywhere

All I need: Clean room, comfortable beds, well maintained, free good coffee in the morning, good location, good parking. The Hop Inn has it all, plus it provides an excellent value and has friendly helpful staff. Will stay again for sure. No reason to complain.

This hotel is relativly new and has been built with a Japanese theme. Pros: New and modern hotel with large rooms and modern furnishings. Good bed and shower. Good view from most rooms. Breakfast was good mainly Thai. Nice pool and garden area. Nice roof top dining area with pool. Staff are very good and helpful. Wifi was good. Restaurant dining presented good selection and quality of food at reasonable prices. Cons; Because hotel is new my car navigation couldn't locate the hotel, however Google was successful. Hotel front signage is not clear. On arrival we were given our room to which we found was a west facing room and given that all the hotel rooms have massive plate glass wrap around windows it was like walking into a sauna. We opted for a room on the eastern side which was way better. All rooms have good views. The rooms are large, however with little furniture. To my astonishment, the room had a small ottoman for siting and a very small table. I requested a standard small table and chair for working with my laptop, the staff were very helpful, and within five minutes had a table and chair. Ridiculously Small fridge/cooler was a disappointment. Summary: Very nice hotel for a small rural city and would stay here again, however, with trendy new hotels comes trendy furniture which is not practical in many cases, especially for the elderly.
