Suan Phueng Onsen
Ratchaburi tends to fly under the radar for a lot of tourists, even among Thais. But situated along Myanmar’s border, the district of Suan Pueng boasts loads of lovely locations that are worth exploring. You’ll easily find plenty of cosy places to stay for a relaxing retreat on the weekend.
So, if you’re tired of the same old weekend routine at home, pack up and set for Suan Phueng Onsen. This lovely resort offers you a lovely rest in a cute triangle-shaped hut and mineral water baths with a pleasant invigorating view outside the window.

As we go about our daily lives, we’re often confined within the solid walls of concrete structures. But what if we could break away from this routine by residing in a hut for a few days?
What sets Suan Phueng Onsen apart from other resorts is its 10 charming triangular huts peacefully nestled away in the city’s outskirts.

The huts are tastefully made of wood and bamboo as well as give off a mix of rural Japanese and Bali vibes. Plus, if you’re a city dweller who is used to the morning traffic clamour, Suan Phueng will give you the chance to greet the day with the soothing symphony of nature and birdcalls.
