Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to A-Rom Art, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above 5th floor) to minimize street noise from the main road (Route 205) nearby. Given the hotel's 7-floor layout, floors 6 and 7 should be relatively quieter. Also, opt for a room with a north-facing orientation to avoid direct sunlight, which can be intense in Pak Chong.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1-3) as they may be more prone to noise from the service entrance and the bar area. Additionally, rooms near the lift may experience some disturbance from the elevator's operation.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's location on a main road and its relatively low-rise structure mean that there are no exceptional views to request. However, rooms on the south side may have a glimpse of the surrounding hills on a clear day.

🔊 Noise notes

Bangkok Hua Lamphong Railway Station → Pak Chong Railway Station (4 km from resort)
💡 Take the 09:25 Express (No. 133) – it’s the fastest at 3.5 hours. From station, grab a red songthaew (20 THB/person) to Ban Mai Chai; tell driver it’s on Mittraphap Road near the PTT station.

Top Attractions in Pak Chong
💡 Use it as a cool break after the morning market. The staff are friendly and won't mind you sitting with a book for an hour - just sign in at the desk.
💡 Bring a torch - the inner cave is dark. The stairs are steep but short; take water in the hot season.
💡 Come at 8am to beat the crowds. The water is chilly even in April. Don't leave valuables in the car - use the lockers at the entrance.
💡 Check Facebook 'Thung Bua Suwan' before going - some years the blooms shift dates. Go at sunset for good light and fewer people. Wear shoes you don't mind muddy.
💡 Rent a bicycle for 50-100 baht at the park entrance rather than paying for a guide. Go early morning to see gibbons and hornbills without the crowds.
