3-star hotels in Chanthaburi
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Chanthaburi, from the riverside centre to the coast at Laem Sing. It is for travellers who want a comfortable, well-reviewed base for the province's markets, temples, fruit and nature without paying for more stars than they need.
Staying in Chanthaburi
Chanthaburi keeps a local, working-town character rather than a mass-tourism one, and visitors come for the food, the fruit, the gems, the historical sites and the easy access to nature. The city has a compact centre with markets, temples and riverside streets, while the coast and nearby hills offer waterfalls, mangrove forests and quiet beaches. Three of these hotels sit close to that centre: KP Grand Hotel Chanthaburi and The Peak Chanthaburi Hotel are 1.9 km from it, and Chanpraya Resort is 1.3 km away.
The others spread out: Chaanburi Boutique Resort lies 2.8 km from the centre, IP Plus Resort Chanthaburia Halal Hotel 4.9 km, Evergreen Resort Chanthaburi 5.3 km and Pimdara Hotel 5.5 km, while Leamsing Natural Beach Resort sits 14.7 km away by the sea at Laem Sing. The mix suits couples and short-break visitors who want to walk to the market, families who need pools and family rooms, and drivers who prefer gardens and parking to a central address.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Chanthaburi is about 245 kilometres southeast of Bangkok by road, a drive of roughly three to four hours depending on traffic. Buses and minivans leave from Bangkok's eastern bus terminals, and there are also services from other eastern provinces. The nearest airport with regular scheduled flights is Trat Airport, around 70 kilometres away, and U-Tapong Airport is further west. Within the city, songthaews and motorbike taxis are common; for the coast and waterfalls, having your own vehicle or hiring a car with driver is the most practical option. Local buses connect the city to nearby districts.
When to go
The best time to visit is during the cool, dry season from November to February, when temperatures are milder and rainfall is lower. March to May is hot and humid, with temperatures often above 30°C. The southwest monsoon brings rain from May to October, with September and October typically the wettest months. Fruit lovers may note that durian and other tropical fruits are most abundant in the hot season and early rainy season.
