The highest score in this list at 9.3 — Uthai Heritage Hotel is the most distinctive place to stay in Uthai Thani, converted from the wooden buildings of Uthai Wittayalai School, the province's first private school, founded in 1957. Supergreen Studio kept the U-shaped wooden structure, original wooden doors, flag courtyard and blackboards intact. 17 rooms across 8 themes; at 8 AM guests are invited to stand for the national anthem at the flagpole, and school uniforms can be hired for photos at ฿100. There's also an outdoor pool tucked behind the dining room.
- ✓ A 60-year-old school concept found nowhere else in the province
- ✓ Owners and staff are warm and attentive — guests feel personally looked after
- ✓ Spacious rooms, beautiful design, comfortable beds · central town location near the river
- ✓ Breakfast to order from a slip — local Uthai dishes available, plus morning boat or alms activities
- ✗ Wi-Fi in rooms is slow and drops — thick wooden walls block the signal
- ✗ The lane beside the hotel has a pack of stray dogs; take care walking at night
