Tak Province hotels & places to stay

Although there are many good quality hotels in Mae Sot, many of which are brand new, the Centara is the only international standard hotel in the whole city and probably the whole province, with the exception of the capital, Tak. This is because the hotel offers full facilities including buffet breakfast, lunch, dinner (2 restaurants), room service, a business centre, conference and event facilities, a pool and gym, a bellboy and numerous services such as massage, airport pickup/drop-off, a travel agency on site, gift shop and others. I have stayed at the Centara dozens of times in the last couple of years as I come up to Mae Sot for business multiple times per year. Although the hotel is showing it's age, the rooms are functional, the beds comfortable with nice soft mattresses allowing a comfortable night's sleep, the wifi is pretty OK these days and the breakfast buffet is pretty good too. I disagree with the reviewer that said the location is bad with no restaurants around. On the contrary. The city's largest shopping mall Robinson is located directly opposite the hotel, you can head out of the hotel, cross the road and you're there. Numerous restaurants, cafes and a food court are located there. For something more local, there are numerous restaurants located along the bypass road just after Robinson's too. Getting into town is greatly simplified with a car or motorcycle, it's only a 5-10 minute drive, though you could walk it in 20-30 mins. Apart from the market there is not a whole lot happening in downtown though, relatively few restaurants of note except for the consistently good western favorite, Krua Canadian. Aside from this you'll notice a lot of Burmese number plates during the day, as Burmese come across for shopping and trading their wares. The border crossing is the main crossing for overland travel to Myanmar and is one of the main reasons foreigners travel to Mae Sot these days.

Passing through Tak wasn't meant to be a highlight of our trip, it was just a place to stop to break up the trip -- people said, there's nothing to see in Tak but we loved it, thanks to Soho it was a welcomed recoup on a motorbike trip around the loop from Chiang Mai to Sukhothai and back again. The hotel is even better than it appears online in pictures, tucked away on an unsuspecting street not far off the main road where the night market runs along the river is this trendy boutique hotel you'd expect to find in Chiang Mai or Bangkok. With free rental bikes available at the front entrance and large murals with inspirational messages greeting you as you step off the elevator on the way to your room -- it's a part of our trip that we won't forget. The staff were very helpful and the included breakfast buffet truly takes the experience over the top -- much more value than you'd expect. The fresh fruit and selection of Thai foods and drinks were half of the enjoyment, the beautiful room and view of the hotel's grounds through the huge wall of windows completed the experience. I hesitate to rave about the stay as it may seem overdone and your expectations will be too high but our two days in Tak really was a welcomed retreat from travelling about via motorbike. We took the rental bikes up to the night market for some shakes and street food --- I'd recommend riding to the river during the day as well and take a walk across the foot bridge or ride and enjoy the view. This seems like a popular choice in Tak as we passed many bikes on our scooter while touring the area. I was surprised how many people told us to just pass on Tak to go to Mae Sot --- don't bother stopping, but I disagree -- both Soho and the local area surrounding it were well worth the break if you just enjoy a relaxing couple days like we did.

Value for money. Nothing nice nothing bad. All u need for sleep and take shower. Poor breakfast but anyway better eat outside on the street in Asia. Funny to see the pricelist of the hotel if u damage anything. But also they tell u they not responsible for anything of ur items. :-)))) Best is location... opposite u have the big shopping mall from Robinson and all Restaurants.

the hotel is located in tak, around half way from bangkok to the popular northern destinations such as chiangmai, chiang rai, and mae hong son. so i recommend everyone who drives their own vehicles from bangkok to the north to stop for a night here, so you wont' be too tired and fall asleep while driving. it takes around 4-5 hours to drive from bangkok and 4-5 hours from here to chiang mai. the hotel is next to the ping river so you can enjoy nice view. we like that the door is opened by key card and everything in the room is modern and adequate for a quick stay. a big refrigerator. centralized lighting system. the best deal is perhaps the breakfast which offers a greater variety than other hotels in thailand at this price range. my wife's favorite is pancake and honey. we're very happy staying here for the price we paid and we always come back here every time we travel to the north. highly recommended if you want a quick stay.

will definitely stay again when i come back to mae sot. the staff were friendly and helpful and even when they could not always understand english made attempts to understand what my request was. the breakfast was not always hot but a good variety offered. it may be good to offer tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms. the hotel was modern and i really loved the 'retro' but very modern furniture in the lobby. i hope this hotel does well and will definitely recommend it to any friends who visit mae sot.

Superb Customer Service!!!!!! I found this hotel from the agoda. The location is pretty far from the markets tho it will be the best place for those who like to stay away from crowded city like me. The staff are very friendly and the rooms are also neat & tidy. The only thing that I dislike about is that the hotel does not provide coffee in our rooms but it is not the big matter. Really had a Great Time there! ^^

I'd never stayed overnight in Tak before, I'd always just been passing through. So I was pleasantly surprised when I decided to try out The White House Hotel for a 3 day visit. The location was right off the main road, which gave easy access to anywhere else I wanted to go in Tak. The staff was helpful and friendly. And the rooms were kept very clean. The pool was nice and there's a Thai breakfast offered every morning with your stay, a nice added touch. If you're overnighting in Tak, White House Hotel is a noteworthy spot to check into.

Good location... near hospital... government buildings... largest school... case to bus station... and 7/11is three minutes from hotel front door. Wifi very good. Beds very comfortable (ask for extra pillow?). Shower very good. Room and bathroom clean. Would suggest white towels rather than brown ones... but no big deal. Fridge in room with basic stock of purchasable items. All in all... best in Tak!

We needed a place just off the highway near Tak, and this location was perfect. The resort is actually quite large, with multiple buildings. We booked a triple room, with three twin beds, and it was a large room with plenty of space. It was very clean, and had everything we needed for a stop-over while traveling. Travelers coming from south Thailand to north, FYI: Google maps gave us two locations. The accurate location is closer to Tak, on the northbound side of the road. We had an assortment of pillows, which was convenient - soft, medium and quite hard. The beds were a bit hard, and the shower water never got truly hot, but those are very minor compared to the convenience of location, cleanliness of the room, and the friendliness of the staff.

The cottage bungalow are very nice, located in the middle of the nature. In the "negative" side, food at the resort is quite expensive (+30% of normal prices at least) due to the remote location of the resort. Breakfast is so-so. Resort is suitable for people traveling with car between Mae Sot and Tak. Not really suitable if you are not driving and together with older people (path to the bungalow is a little bit "sportive").

Very nice place with quiet and beautiful garden and environment. A bit hard to find without GPS so I suggest saving the location from Agoda's map to your smart phone or GPS device. The staff is friendly but don't speak english too much so be advised if you don't speak thai. The rooms are clean more or less, at least cleaner that you would expect from such price range. We tried two types of bungalows and both were basically the same but the "villa" is somewhat larger and have a small terrace too with wooden benches. The rooms are equipped with LDC TVs but only thai channels however the wifi internet is quite fast you you can watch youtube at least. Breakfast is quite basic as well, coffee and toast with jam + egg. A somewhat more equipped restaurant would be a big asset for the place. Overall I consider it as better option that a hotel room for the same price if you want some peace while you stay in Tak.

Amazing staff. We arrived late and they waited up for us to check us in. Really really clean room and nice facilities. AMAZING price!!! Definitely value for your money. Close to the border of Myanmar and definitely worth staying if you are crossing the border either way. Hotel will arrange a cheap taxi for you (100baht). Would recommend and would stay again. Free coffee and toast too.

We arrived at this hotel at dusk to be literally greeted at the car and checked- and settled-in with wonderful solicitous care by the fantastic hotel staff. For the price, the room was large, with everything and more for the price. I sipped free, supplied coffee and milk from the upstairs balcony as the sunset displayed golden colours while setting over the nearby steep mountains, just inside southern Myanmar. I enquired about the Im Hotel, to be told that it was opened in October 2012, one month previously. It is a little removed to the north of Mae Sot centre, but only 1 km away and very close to the main intersection near the sportsground. This is a good thing, because the town centre of Mae Sot is less than scenic. Thus, we spent two lovely night at Im - full, in Thai, aka satisfied - with great wifi and a superb bed to sleep in. We disappointed the fantastic staff by declining breakfast both mornings but that could have been had in a separate cabana in the garden - great concept - with brilliant, smiling service. Im? YES,we were, and, paw jai mahk - thoroughly satisfied. We would recommend Im to everyone. If you have transport, then there are several sightseeing opportunities in the province of Tak, and specifically, too, within reach of Mae Sot town.

I really liked Thanavill. It was nice little place a bit far from city center but the owner always gave me a bike if I wanted. The room was clean and tidy and the staff were amazing. We had some problems with communication in English but they really tried their best and we solved everything out. I really enjoyed my time in Mae Sot even though I was only staying one night.

I paid more than $18 for my Delux room but there is no shampoo, only cheap little soap, no water heater for coffee and no coffee or tea in the rooms. Two windows open to old ugly buildings and parking lot. No one spoke English to order my breakfast, no menu nothing. I ate the only food they understood: omelette .. which was just fried eggs and rice. Surely Tak has much better hotel deals, this hotel is not worth the money paid.

This is our first time to Tak and also in this hotel, the place is very beautiful and very clean compare to the price we paid this is very valuable The food is very delicious very fresh and not expensive, above all is the staff so very nice and have a pur service mind. I think the beautiful place and service mind of staff here is the strong point that bring back all customers to visit this hotel again.

Our first stay after being in Myanmar for 3 weeks, we LOVED the cleanliness and value for the price. Everything in the room and bathroom was still fresh white and new! The superior room was large and had a small balcony and large fridge, nice touches. Wifi was fantastic on the 1st floor but lagged heavily on the 3rd floor. The thai porridge, fruit, toast and beverages for breakfast were quite good. Improvements could be to have bathroom slippers - since it's not a separated shower so the floor gets wet, if the staff spoke a bit more English - although they were very friendly and helpful with what we could communicate, and if they had a generator for backup power supply - since the power when out while I was in the shower and wasn't fixed for 20 minutes even though the street lights and neighbouring houses had electricity just fine. Overall, a great 1 day stay and we wish we had more time.

I had a great time at Baan Kiang Chan. It's a little difficult for taxi drivers and tuk-tuks to find. However, the rooms are spacious and there was even a tub in addition to the shower. There are patio doors to your own private patio complete with chairs and a table. It's perfect for drinking coffee in the morning. The restaurant serves good food, too. But the best part for me was the tuk-tuk driver. He brought me everywhere I needed to go for free (although I did tip him for every ride). I would definitely stay here again.
