Lithai Guesthouse

This guesthouse is very conveniently located being just a few minutes’ walk from the river and within easy walking distance of the temples along the riverside. The rooms are all identically decorated in a white and brown colour and have been recently refurbished. The main difference is in size and location: the single rooms costing 300 Baht are smaller in size and look out onto the patio which in turn overlooks the access drive into the guesthouse car park; while the double and twin rooms costing 580 Baht are larger in size and overlook the outside, often the road which can be busy and noisy. The first couple of twin rooms I was taken to see also had the additional problem that above the room outside seemed to be home to a family of pigeons. The quietest twin rooms are even numbered ones ending between 10 and 18 which overlook some trees and buildings. The twin rooms are very big and sparse with little furniture: just 2 wooden tabletops. There is a TV mounted on one of them with a fridge underneath containing 2 bottles of water whereas the other tabletop has a mirror mounted above it and a chair to sit on. There was a wide window in our room plus some red curtains. The floor is tiled in white as is the bathroom. The bathroom is very spacious with a good water heater, a good washbasin above which there is a mirror and a good toilet. Liquid soap, towels and toilet paper are provided. The air conditioner worked very well and there is good wifi requiring proper log-in with both username and password which are valid for a period of 24 hours. You presumably have to ask for new log-in details every day. At street level, there is a coffee shop where food is also available and this is where a free breakfast is served which consists of typical Thai breakfast offerings such as various rice dishes. You can also have tea or coffee in the price. There is no Western-style breakfast on offer. There is quite a sizable free car park behind the guesthouse where you can park your vehicle as the street where the guesthouse is located can get quite busy. Next door to the guesthouse, there is also a restaurant called Veggie which is presumably vegetarian making salads, sandwiches and burgers, but no real meals to the best of our knowledge. The sleep quality was good at this guesthouse and I would highly recommend it to anyone requiring accommodation in Phitsanulok.
