Hotel Vithra Shuttle Service

Upon booking, I did not consider any specific factors, prioritizing convenience and ease of access. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the hotel, despite its affordable price, offered complimentary airport transfers. A staff member greeted me at the airport, and we proceeded to the hotel in a comfortable vehicle.

Behind the hotel sign is a computer building surrounded by shops and restaurants.

It's a short trip from the airport to the hotel. The journey is comfortable and convenient. Looking around, Udon Thani still retains its old-town charm, which blends well with the modern city. With just a few turns, the car passes the front of the building. A little further on is our hotel, Vithra Boutique Hotel.

Lobby of the Hotel

The younger sibling bought snacks and packed their belongings. After showering and eating the snacks, they made phone calls to discuss the tasks for the next day. They then tried to play with the pet, but it fell asleep and slept soundly until morning. The bed seemed to have a hypnotic effect, making it difficult to wake up.

Single Room

Our room was originally booked with a double bed, but the person who was supposed to come with me had a sudden business trip and couldn't make it. When I walked to the room, I met the housekeeper and asked to see the single bed room. Wow! The room is big and the bed is big. There's still a lot of space after putting the bed. Can I change rooms?

The dressing table and shower room are separated from the large bathroom, which is very convenient.

The room is spacious.

Double Room

The provided text is in Thai and describes a situation where a guest requests to change their room from a double bed to a single bed. The guest mentions that the single bed room is cheaper and the room sizes are the same.

Here is the translated text in English:

"After seeing the single room, I went to see the double room that we had booked. Since I was alone, I decided to change rooms. I asked the housekeeper if I could change to a single room instead. The single room and the double room are the same size, but the single room is 50 baht cheaper. The housekeeper checked with the receptionist and confirmed that there was a vacancy, so I was able to change rooms."

We stopped by to change the card from a double bed room to a single bed room. We saw that they were having a seminar today, which was interesting. We decided to go in and take a look.

With permission, we went in to take a look. They were just getting ready for the meeting.

Vithra's meeting rooms range from small rooms suitable for groups of ten to large rooms that can accommodate hundreds of people. The rooms are equipped with various amenities, including food and snacks (which are quite delicious).

Snacks for break

After changing the card, I went back to my room to relax, as I mentioned earlier. Then, I felt too lazy to go down, so I asked the hotel staff to help me buy some food at Big C next door. That was easy, and I got through another night. Now, let's take a look at the breakfast offered here. What's on the menu? Oh, breakfast is served from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM.

Our breakfast

In addition to Thai and Western cuisine, there is also a must-try dish called "sticky rice with grilled pork." This dish is sure to keep you full until the evening. The food at Vithra is prepared by Thai chefs who have worked in restaurants in Canada and are highly skilled in cooking both Thai and Western dishes. This is especially true for local dishes such as fried eggs and grilled pork with soft sticky rice.

After speaking with the chef, I learned some exciting news. Early next month, the Vithra Hotel will begin offering a lunch buffet at an attractive price of 129 baht per person. Wow! If I have the opportunity to visit again, I will definitely stop by.
