Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Tomson Resort, 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. In a 3-star hotel on a provincial street like Udon Thani's, the back side typically overlooks the garden or pool, giving you far less traffic noise and more shade.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near reception or the lift lobby—guest chatter and early check-ins are common. Also skip rooms directly above the on-site restaurant or bar area (often on ground floor at this star level) as sound carries upward.
Best views
Given the address on a main provincial road, east-facing rooms likely get morning light, west-facing rooms get afternoon heat and possible sunset over the city skyline. If the hotel has a rear garden or pool, back-facing rooms offer green views rather than traffic.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest: far enough from street-level noise and lift traffic, and with fewer footfall above you if there’s no 5th floor as a busy rooftop area.
🔊 Noise notes
Main street noise (motorbikes, songthaews, trucks) is common in Udon Thani. The hotel likely has standard double-glazing at best, so even upper floors hear traffic if facing the road. Also breakfast starts around 6am—lobby and kitchen noise rises through floors.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a room on the back side (garden/pool view) when booking directly—front desk are more likely to note preference than online systems. 2. If driving, request a parking spot near the rear exit; side-street motorcycle noise at night can wake you if your room faces the car park entrance.
- 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

Top Attractions in Udon Thani
💡 Walk through all three sections (clothes, then food, then general goods) before buying anything. For a proper meal, sit down at one of the shared tables in the food court area and point at what looks good. Try the 'khao lam' — sticky rice in bamboo. Cash only.
💡 Go just before sunset — the light over the lake is lovely and the paths are shaded. You can rent a bike for 20 baht per hour from the booth near the main entrance. Avoid weekends when it's crowded with families.
💡 Come around 5pm when the food stalls are in full swing. Bring small notes; vendors rarely have change for large bills. Try the 'sai krok Isaan' (sour Isaan sausage) from the stall near the main junction.
💡 Donations welcome but not expected. Wear long trousers and take your shoes off before entering the prayer hall. Best time is early morning for gentle light and fewer visitors. You can buy incense sticks here for 5 baht.
💡 Entry is 50 baht, but you can see the whole thing in under 45 minutes. Skip the audio guide — the English wall text is fine. Best visited early to avoid midday heat.
