👨‍👩‍👧 Best Family Hotels in Narathiwat
5 Picks That Families
Actually Book!

The highest score in this list at 9.1 — Art Nara Hotel is a brand-new 2025 property built with families in mind. Most rooms are generously sized family rooms with several beds; some bathrooms have a jacuzzi tub. Everything is still new: glossy tiled floors, clean walls, a fresh scent that older buildings don't have. Add in cold AC, fast Wi-Fi, free parking, a free water dispenser, and a clothes dryer, and you get more free extras than the price would suggest. Khok Khian is a short drive from the city centre, but a 7-Eleven is walkable and it's only 14 minutes to Narathiwat Airport — the best base if you're driving or flying in.

Banton Beach is the beachfront bungalow resort that families return to for an experience they can't get anywhere else in Narathiwat — you walk from your cabin door straight to the sand, and when a flight lands, children are thrilled as the plane drops low over the coconut palms directly above the resort before touching down at the airport next door. It scores 8.7 from 102 reviews. There's a family bungalow for 3–4 guests, a beachside BBQ, bikes to borrow, and staff who speak Thai, English and Malay. Ban Thon Beach is a quiet, uncrowded natural beach.

The Imperial Narathiwat is the 4-star city hotel that Muslim families think of first in Narathiwat — the entire kitchen is halal, so everyone eats with complete peace of mind. It scores 8.5 from 278 reviews. There's an outdoor pool that is rare in this city and safe for children (not deep). Rooms are larger than the typical city hotel here, free private parking is included, and the Clock Tower is a 3-minute walk away, making it straightforward for both sightseeing and work. The building is an older city tower so the rooms show their age, but they are spacious and clean.

Takbai Lagoon Resort works well for families driving through the far south who want a quiet riverfront atmosphere on a budget. The resort has a wide shaded garden where children can run freely, a halal riverside restaurant that has been running for over 20 years, and family rooms for 3–4 guests. It scores 7.8 from 38 reviews. The building is an older resort that leans simple rather than new — some rooms and cleanliness spots could be better — but at ฿709–1,100 a night with a big garden and an in-house restaurant, it offers honest value for a Takbai overnight.

Grand Garden Hotel is the pick for families staying in Su-ngai Kolok who need a pool on a tight budget — it has an outdoor pool and a separate children's pool, both genuinely rare in a small border town. Families in the reviews say the kids' pool is the main reason they keep coming back. It scores 7.0 from 9 reviews. Rooms run noticeably wider than other hotels in the same city at the same price, free parking is included, and the Malaysia border is just 1.5 km away — a 5-minute drive. The building is older and room quality varies, so it's worth checking your room and asking to switch if it isn't right.
