The Property — Phoem Phoon 2 Hotel
This is a straightforward Thai-Chinese budget hotel on Nan’s main road, Mahawong Road, a 10-minute walk from the town centre. The lobby is clean and functional with a small seating area, a helpful receptionist, and tiled floors – no frills, but efficient. The USP is the rooftop terrace with views over the mountain-ringed valley, a quiet spot for a morning coffee or evening beer. It suits independent travellers who want a no-nonsense base, not atmosphere.
Chronicles of Nan
Nan was founded in the 13th century as a small city-state and later became part of the Lanna Kingdom. Its walled old town still bears traces of that era, with defensive moats and a grid of lanes lined with wooden shophouses. The most iconic structure is Wat Phumin, an 18th-century temple famous for its four-sided, cruciform layout and exquisite murals of local life and folklore. Today, Nan is a quiet provincial capital, proud of its Tai Lue heritage and known for its artisan crafts – especially handwoven textiles and silverware – which you can buy at the night market.
Best Time to Visit
Full Nan guide →Best months
November to February: cool, dry days (20-30°C) and clear skies; the Nan Boat Procession and Loy Krathong (usually November) add cultural depth without overwhelming crowds.
Peak / festival surge
April (Songkran) and December (New Year). Songkran brings water fights and temple visits, plus higher domestic tourism; hotel rates can double. December is peak cool season with tourists from Bangkok and Chiang Mai.
Budget shoulder season
March and October: milder temperatures than the hot season (March) or end of rains (October); cheaper rooms (30-40% off peak) and low visitor numbers.
Weather & packing
July is wet season – expect heavy, often short downpours in the afternoons. Pack a breathable rain jacket and quick-dry shoes; an umbrella is essential.
Live City Briefing — Nan
- The main Wat Phumin temple has reopened after a year-long restoration of its famous murals; visitors should check opening hours as restoration work may still be ongoing in some sections.
- Nan's night market (walkable from the hotel) has extended its hours for peak season – stalls now run from 5pm until 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
- The airport road (Rt 1083) has new traffic lights at the Mahawong Road junction, so allow an extra 10 minutes for taxi transfers from Nan Airport.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Phoem Phoon 2 Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floor 3 or 4 facing away from the street. These floors are high enough to avoid ground-level noise while still being accessible (the hotel has a lift). The rear side overlooks the quieter inner courtyard or neighbouring rooftops.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 or 2 facing the street. Floor 1 gets direct pavement noise and foot traffic; floor 2 still catches street sounds from Nan’s main road. Also skip rooms near the lift shaft on any floor – the lift mechanism can be audible at night.
Best views
The best view is from upper floors at the rear or side – likely overlooking Nan city rooftops or a bit of green. A street-facing room on floor 4 or 5 gives a wide view of the main road and local life, but comes with noise trade-off.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 offer the best balance of quiet – high enough to cut street buzz, yet served by the lift. Floor 5 is also possible but check if it’s a partial floor or rooftop (common in 3-star hotels); if so, it may be quieter but with less convenient access.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a main road in Nan – expect motorbike and tuk-tuk noise from early morning until late evening. The lift generates a low hum; service areas or a breakfast room on the ground floor add early-morning bustle to rooms directly above.
Insider tips
1) If you drive, ask about free on-street parking out front or a small lot around back – street parking fills by evening. 2) Check-in can be slow; arrive after 2pm to avoid waiting for room turnover.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
