Germanythis is a hidden gem! We loved our stay at Baan Lek Villa, and can highly recommend it. It is a small boutique hotel, which feels like art you actually live in. the whole house is very well thought through. We enjoyed its individuality, on point design and modern architecture.
the hosts welcomed us with open arms. they upgraded our room as we travel with our toddler, to have more space, which was very thoughtful. all rooms are upstairs with a great view and a spacious wooden deck to relax at. downstairs is the kitchen with hammock and a green flush garden.
the breakfast was good, and they asked about our preferences to adapt on the second morning. we were able to use the kitchen, too.
within 30 minutes, they organized a scooter to market prices for us.
and they drove us to the bus terminal free of charge and helped us with the tickets.
in general, Chanthaburi is not a typical stop for tourists. we still tried, and we had two great days here! tourism is based on the durian season which grows in the area. the location of the hotel is central, that you can reach sightseeing spots like downtown, the mall or the big Cathedral within driving minutes only. we went for a national park and drove to the beach, all by scooter within 30 minutes. you can experience local living away from general tourism.
