Dusit Princess Phattalung is a lovely resort-in-the-city that comes with 132 spacious and elegantly furnished guestrooms and suites spanning up to 79 sq m …

The lovely four-star hotel offers the best leisure or business stays in Phatthalung, an up-and-coming southern destination rich with cultural heritage, natural wonders and delicious Southern Thai cuisine – just a one-hour drive from Trang Airport and a one-hour and forty-minutes drive from Hat Yai International Airport.

Dusit Princess Phattalung reflects its stunning natural surroundings and showcases the intricate woven cattail handicrafts – known locally as Krajood – for which the area is famed… and is the perfect place for a serene inner-city oasis !!! You can find a large, sculptured swimming pool with adjoining children’s pool, and even plenty of open spaces for Yoga and Muay Thai classes, nature-inspired activities, and regular events showcasing the handiwork of local artisans.

My room, the Superior Pool View Room was just a dream come true…

I got to enjoy the lovely pool views from my balcony and even sunrise and sunset!!!!! And the sunset view was spectacular!!! The Superior Pool View room comes with a choice of King or Twin-beds.

Dusit Princess Phattalung also features a speciality restaurant, Chi Chiao, which celebrates local culinary traditions with refined interpretations of Thai-Chinese street food classics. Pan-fried rice noodles with crispy sea bass in gravy, Hainanese chicken rice, and the list goes on……

Chi Chiao was said to be the name of a pioneering businesswoman from Phatthalung Province, who was deeply committed to her family and friends.

Chi Chiao Restaurant is inspired by ‘Grandma Chiao’s’ affection for everyone around her and provides food from Grandma’s kitchen, serving dishes as a golden silk thread that knits every family tie together…

Some of the dishes we had at Chi Chiao were their Crab curry, Omelette, Stir- fried Seafood with Curry Powder, Stir – fried mixed Vegetables and Basil, Fresh Tropical Fruit Salad with Crispy Soft Shelled Crabs and Hainanese Chicken Rice….

Dusit’s signature Dusit Gourmet, serves premium teas and coffee, juices and smoothies, fresh-baked treats, and an array of international favourites in a cosy setting overlooking the resort’s pond.

Both dining venues spotlight the finest locally sourced ingredients, including organic sangyod brown rice from nearby farms.

Rich with culture, Phatthalung is regarded as the birthplace of Nang Talung shadow-puppet plays and Nora, a lively and acrobatic form of dance theatre.

When you stay here at Dusit Princess Phatthalung, you will also have convenient access to natural wonders such as the expansive Thale Noi, one of the most biodiverse lagoons in Thailand and a FAO-recognised wetland paradise just about 30- minutes drive away…
