The Property — Room62
Room62 is a tidy, no-fuss 3-star in Phetchabun town centre, with a clean contemporary lobby that feels more like a functional city hotel than a mountain retreat. Its USP is straightforward value for money, with decent air-conditioned rooms and a breakfast nook that serves khao tom and coffee. It suits budget-conscious tourers who plan to spend their days out exploring Khao Kho or the temple circuit, not lounging by a pool.
Chronicles of Phetchabun
Phetchabun was a frontier outpost of the Khmer empire before emerging as a key settlement in the Sukhothai Kingdom. Its urban grid was laid out in the late 19th century under King Chulalongkorn, with concrete shophouses replacing teak structures after fires in the 1910s. Today, the city blends old Chinese-Thai trading heritage with a modern administrative role, and its identity is defined by the towering Buddha image of Wat Mahathat and the annual Phi Ta Khon festival in neighbouring Dan Sai.
Best Time to Visit
Full Phetchabun guide →Best months
November to February: dry, cool weather with daytime highs around 28-32°C and clear skies. Good for hiking Khao Kho and temple touring without rain interruptions.
Peak / festival surge
December and January are peak: festive season, school holidays and cool mountain air drive Thai domestic tourism. Hotel prices in Phetchabun can double. The city also sees a surge during the Phi Ta Khon festival (usually June/July) and the Khao Kho winter flower fair.
Budget shoulder season
March and October: March offers drier heat with fewer tourists; October sees retreating rains, lower hotel rates and greener hills. Both are good for discounts of 20-30% off peak rates.
Weather & packing
July is mid-rainy season: expect heavy late-afternoon downpours and temperatures around 31°C. Pack a compact umbrella and quick-drying footwear; avoid anything suede or linen that doesn’t dry promptly.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Room62, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 or 4 facing away from the main road (62/3 suggests a direct street frontage). These floors are high enough to reduce street noise but still within easy reach of the stairs or lift.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms and any room on floor 1. If the lift is at the front, rooms adjacent to the lift shaft will pick up mechanical noise. Street-facing rooms on floor 2 will catch the most traffic rumble from the main road.
Best views
The best view is from upper floors facing away from the main road — likely overlooking the local neighbourhood or hills. Ask for a rear-facing room on floor 4 for a quieter outlook with minimal traffic.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest at Room62 — above traffic and lift noise, and far from the reception/bar area typically on the ground floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Phetchabun is a provincial town, but main roads carry motorbikes and pickups. The 62/3 address suggests the hotel is on a through-road, so morning and evening traffic will be audible at the front. Lift machinery in a 3-star hotel may not be well-silenced.
Insider tips
1. If you arrive by car, request a parking spot away from the entrance — that area can become a gathering spot for staff and locals, creating early-morning noise. 2. Check in early to secure a top-floor rear room; the front desk may not volunteer room assignments, so ask specifically for 'floor 3 or 4, back side'.
- 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

💡 Booking tip: For popular restaurants in Phetchabun, book at least a week ahead — especially for weekend evenings and during festival season.
Your arrival at Room62
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Bangkok Hua Lamphong Station → Bua Yai Junction (Nakhon Ratchasima)
💡 Not direct—you'll need a connecting bus or taxi from Bua Yai to Phetchabun (another 2 hours). Cheapest option, but slow. The train gives good scenery through Isaan farmlands.
Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) → Phuam Gawtpi Resort, Phetchabun
💡 Book with a local driver via the resort or apps like Grab. The road from Bangkok to Phetchabun is mostly highway, but the final 10km to the resort is winding mountain road; a larger sedan or SUV handles it better.
Bangkok Mo Chit Bus Terminal → Phetchabun Bus Station
💡 Take a VIP bus (24 seats) for legroom; they run to Phetchabun town. From the bus station, hire a songthaew (shared pickup truck) to the resort for 200-300 THB total, but negotiate first.
Phetchabun town centre → Phuam Gawtpi Resort
💡 Songthaews follow fixed routes but rarely go up to the resort without a special hire. Flag one on Si Thep Road in town; expect 100-200 THB for a private run. Motorbike taxis are faster but carry you up the steep hill—hold on tight.
