财产 — the choize
The Choize is a cheerful, no-frills 3-star on Maha Sarakham’s ring road, with a lime-green facade and a lobby that smells of fresh laundry and instant coffee. It’s spotless, efficient, and aimed at budget-conscious travellers who need a clean bed and strong Wi-Fi rather than character. The USP is location: a 10-minute walk from the university and the night market, and a short ride to the city’s few sights. It suits solo business visitors or backpackers breaking a journey between Khon Kaen and Ubon Ratchathani.
Maha Sarakham编年史
Maha Sarakham was founded in 1865 as a settlement for Lao prisoners of war relocated after the Lao–Siamese conflicts, and its name means ‘great city of sands’ – a reference to the former riverbanks. For decades it was a quiet agricultural hub, until Maha Sarakham University opened in 1994, transforming the city into a young, student-driven town with a busy evening food scene. The architectural evolution is modest: old teak shophouses near the city pillar mix with concrete university buildings and 7-Elevens. Today the city’s cultural identity is lively but low-key, centred on Isan food, university festivals, and a relaxed pace far from the tourist trail.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to the choize, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a high-floor room on the east side of the building, away from the main road. Floors 5-8 offer the best balance of quiet and lift access.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on floors 1-3 near the front entrance and lift lobby, as they suffer from street noise from the main road and foot traffic. Avoid rooms directly above the lobby or near the service stairs.
Best views
East-facing rooms on floors 7-8 overlook the city skyline with less direct street noise; west-facing rooms see the sunset over low-rise buildings but are closer to the road.
Quietest floors
Floors 5-8, especially rooms at the end of corridors facing the interior courtyard or away from street-side windows.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel sits on a main road in Maha Sarakham, a provincial capital with moderate traffic. Early morning market noise and late-night tuk-tuk engines are common. Lift motor hum may be audible if your room is adjacent to the shaft.
Insider tips
Check in after 2pm to avoid queueing with tour groups, and request a room with a balcony – the 3-star rating means better airflow than relying solely on A/C. Parking is usually on the street or a small lot behind; ask reception to reserve a spot if you're driving.
- 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

Your arrival at the choize

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →围绕
Khon Kaen Airport → Stawan Hotel via Maha Sarakham Bus Station
💡 Take the airport bus to Khon Kaen Bus Terminal (30 baht), then a Bangkok-bound bus (120 baht, 1 hour) to Maha Sarakham. From the bus station, hop on a red songthaew (20 baht) to the hotel. Cheapest but slowest.
Roi Et Airport (ROI) → Green Park Hotel, Maha Sarakham
💡 Take the airport shuttle bus to Roi Et bus station (20 baht), then catch a yellow songthaew to Maha Sarakham. Get off at Pratu Phayom market and walk 10 mins to the hotel.
Maha Sarakham Bus Terminal → Green Park Hotel, Maha Sarakham
💡 Hop on the white songthaew with a blue stripe. Tell the driver 'Green Park' and he'll drop you at the corner of Soi 2. Hand the fare to the conductor, don't try to pay the driver.
Maha Sarakham City Centre → Stawan Hotel
💡 Flag down a red songthaew on the main roads—drivers know the hotel. Say 'Stawan' or 'Santi Nimit' (the soi name). No fixed route, so you might wait 5–10 mins. Best for short hops from the night market or university area.
Don Mueang Airport (DMK), Bangkok → Green Park Hotel, Maha Sarakham
💡 Only useful if you're coming directly from Bangkok. Book at the DMK limousine counter near Gate 5. The driver will take you door-to-door but it's cheaper to take the night bus from Mo Chit instead.
Khon Kaen Railway Station → Maha Sarakham Railway Station
💡 Trains are basic—no AC on cheap carriages. Bring water and snacks. From Khon Kaen Airport, take a taxi to the train station (200 baht). Then a tuk-tuk from Maha Sarakham station to the hotel (50 baht).
Roi Et Airport (ROI) → Green Park Hotel, Maha Sarakham
💡 Fix the fare before getting in. Ask for Nong, a reliable driver who waits outside arrivals. Better than the meter taxis that often overcharge.
Khon Kaen Airport (KKC) → Stawan Hotel & Convention Center, Maha Sarakham
💡 Book a taxi through the hotel or a local driver like Mr. Somchai (093-456-7890) in advance—airport taxis are rare. Negotiate the flat fare before leaving the airport.

Maha Sarakham热门景点
💡 Go early morning (before 8am) when the air is cool and you'll see monks receiving alms nearby. Dress modestly—cover shoulders and knees.
💡 Check the schedule—usually Friday or Saturday nights. Come hungry; the som tam (papaya salad) from the vendor near the main junction is excellent and costs about 30 baht.
💡 Sunset is the best time—bring a mat and buy grilled chicken skewers from the vendors on the east side from 4.30pm. Watch out for stray dogs after dark.
💡 Bring a small lotus flower or incense stick as an offering—sold cheaply at nearby stalls. Visit in the morning for a quieter experience.
💡 Peddalo boats cost 20 baht for 30 minutes—good for a laugh. The best time is just before sunset; the air cools and locals do group aerobics nearby.
💡 Photography inside is allowed but no flash. Pair this with a visit to the adjacent Wat Pa Yai temple. Allow 45 minutes.
💡 Ask the caretaker (usually around the donation box) to unlock the main hall—the murals inside are the real draw. Donation of 20 baht appreciated.
💡 Go late afternoon when the light hits the Buddha statue and the heat drops. Monks sometimes give blessings if you approach respectfully.
