Road trip from Chiang Mai to Hua Hin

[didster]

Hello. Has anybody done a road trip to Hua Hin from Chiang Mai (and return). Have a child and a dog on board too. Any tips or places to stop off on the way? Was thinking of Ayutthaya and Sukothai. Any advice greatly appreciated

Basically the same route apart from Bkk south, so maybe you can pick some idess from it:

Done it many times. Usually stop at Nakon Sawan, approximately mid-way.

Plenty of good cheap hotels there.

^Same for us. Going to Chiangmai or Sukhothai we also stop the same hotel in NS every time.

Hi,

We did it several times with a cat.

For us more convenient stop night is in the middle – if there’s 1 stop and the purpose is only to come from CM to HH, not sightseening. In that case Ayutthaya is not in the middle of the rout, Sukhothai is not exactly on the rout.. Kamphaeng Phet or Nakhon Sawan are better.

Below are some places to stay we used. If admin deletes links despite I tried to make them not to be links pls google by names. It should help as I found all these places via Internet. Unfortunately in small towns there is not much choice if travelling with a pet.

And pls check if they still allow pets! My info is 3-4 years old.

In NS we always stay at Aramis. Newish, clean, comfortable, big rooms and cheap. See TripAdvisor.

In Sukhothai you will not find better than Sukhothai Heritage Resort...no.1 on TA for Sukhothai. We love it there.
