This Royal Suite In THAILAND Is Cheaper Than A Budget Hotel !!! (full tour & price reveal)

This STUNNING royal suite in North Thailand is cheaper than many budget hotels I've seen. Ibis hotels can be great value but can't compare. This amazing hotel will take you back in time through Thai royal history. I stayed at the Shinnabhura Historic Boutique Hotel in Phitsanulok Province and was totally blown away. Far away from the hotels in Pattaya and Phuket this hidden gem is located on the outskirts of Phitsanulok town. I give an extensive tour of the hotel and this amazing royal suite.

This is a phrase that I never thought I would be typing…….I enjoyed the toilet scene. Very amusing!!

[@jamesabroad8589]

It was fun for me too LOL 👍

[@user-rc7eu8zi5y]

Living like Royalty there James. WOW. What a great find. Somewhere we have to try out, another place for the List. Really enjoying your videos James.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers mate. Yes, well worth a visit. Particularly the suite I stayed in. All the best 👍

[@simonbmr]

Your videos are excellent mate, love your deadpan delivery. "I tipped a guy in the lobby and I don't even think he works here." That has to be a classic 😂😂😂

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers, Yes, mate, I'll keep it to 20 baht notes next time lol.👍🍺

[@brendantalbot2160]

As always James Excellent Entertainment from you love your videos . LOL from Ireland .

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers mate. Appreciate it.👍🍺

[@NOTES1]

Another fantastic video, James! The elegance of the suite exudes grandeur and opulence, truly captivating. It's a shame Annie couldn't join the Fresh Prince of Tak this time. Looking forward to more! Keep up the great work! 👍✌️

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers, really appreciate the kind. words. all the best 👍

[@jeffedwards5028]

That was a brilliant vlog. Magnificent hotel, I will have to book next time I am in Thailand. Oh !!! the bath scene cracked me up. Keep them coming and have a great day

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers Jeff, glad u enjoyed it. That suite is great.👍🍻

[@dandgresort]

Great video about Phitsanulok although you missed out on a great pizza. If you want to go on a boat ride on the Nan River, stop on by.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers, I will have to one day. I was only there one night. Thanks again for the offer mate 👍

[@TheTishh]

Sir Moanalot would be a fitting title it seams!

[@jamesabroad8589]

Haha. I might well use that one in a future video. 👍 😂

[@Trevor_Gee]

Really enjoying this concept and content. Looking forward to more in the future

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers Trevor, glad u liked it.👍🍻

Hilarious James, brilliant video and beautiful hotel, well done mate.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers Liam, glad you liked it mate.👍🍻

[@grahammccann]

Enjoyed the review, Mr James, King Of Crewkerne. Never knew we were in the company of Somerset Royalty 👑🫡🖖 Bath was a bit lively 😂

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers Graham appreciate that mate. First time for me in one of those things. Was certainly an experience.😁👍

[@ChristopherRuthVDO]

"I just wanna get back up to that room" happens to be my most uttered phrase when I'm traveling. What a place! Positively green with envy.👍

[@jamesabroad8589]

True, had a nice time there. Hope all's well. 👍🍻

[@thebigw3377]

Impressive might try it out next month. I couldn’t however lower myself to close all those curtains being the crown prince of Australia and all 😂

[@jamesabroad8589]

Haha yes make sure to bring a skivvy or a maid LOL

[@jacobs2162]

I know this hotel, it's down the street from Lotus and Global House (my Thai Home Depot). It's a good hotel. It's $180/night on Expedia.. On trip just this past May, we stayed at the Grand Central Point Space in Pattaya. A new hotel with a small Waterpark with a wave pool (my son love this hotel). Near a Terminal 21 mall. That mall has a decent food court also has a night food market below it.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Yes, the prices vary a lot. I would like to try that hotel in pattaya,, the prices have gone up quite a bit since it opened. Looks fun 👍

[@jacobs2162]

@@jamesabroad8589 yeah it's crazy. I paid 5,600 baht per night at Grand Center Point. But seeing how happy my son was in that Waterpark was worth it. I think you would like it.... there is a rooftop pool that looks amazing, we weren't allowed with my son.... they do have suites that are $250 and up

[@mardysvids1]

Great video mate, Your new camera is a game changer ! We are looking forward to seeing more of your hotel reviews... we have been subscribed to your channel for years 😊

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers. Appreciates it. There will be a few more on the way. 👍

[@paultwiss199]

Wow - that place is amazing James . Even staying in the pleb rooms would be nice but the Royal Suite takes it to another level ! I will try and go there one day ! And the price was a real shock ! Awesome video and looking forward to the next one

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers Paul, certainly worth a visit if you're up this way. 🙏🍻

[@simonwilson1211]

Damn.. Just spat tea over the TV, when you let the bath rip! Brilliant!

[@jamesabroad8589]

Gave me a bit of a shock lol. First time in one of those. 😁👍

[@larslars235]

What an amazing place. But i think i avoid the bathtub... Cheers.

[@jamesabroad8589]

I do recommend it. First time in one of those jacuzzi things so yes a few technical issues LOL all the best 👍

[@durian2193]

Love your videos, James. Keep em coming. Hotel is very charming. Decent price for what I gather is a weeknight and the top room category including breakfast. Visited Philok over 12 years ago - enjoyed it. Would also recommend Sukhothai if you haven't been already - beautiful temples, looks stunning at night when lit up.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Yes, will certainly go to Sukhothai. Great looking places there.👍🍻

[@Martinhck]

Excellent video James. "A bit of a wide spread but can work with it" Priceless lol.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers. Didn't end up using that one.😁👍🍻

[@jamesabroad8589]

ALL the way mate. 😁👍

[@boxcartwilly]

Looks great and a great price too 👍😎

[@jamesabroad8589]

Yes, I recommend it, especially the suite I was in. All the best. 👍

[@heidyadriolo4746]

wow James what a nice vlog.and what a nice place i like that hotel and the price is decend thanks for sharing James

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers. You're welcome. I enjoy making these so there should be a few more on the way. 👍

[@TheJavasumatra]

The temple has some really nice noodle restaurants down the very back of the market.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Yes, good place to visit and have some food. Also very good mango and sticky rice place near the toy shop LOL

[@johnmacfarlane2224]

Cool Place

[@jamesabroad8589]

Yes, I was very impressed.👍🍺

@jamesabroad8589 In Vancouver here where I live you couldn't rent the windows for that price 😀

Great video again James

Cheers Steve, appreciate it mate. 👍🍻

[@user-eh4ng1yj8z]

That's crazy cheap , James! I guessed 250 pounds.....your channel is great by the way!..... Martin...Bristol...England

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers, yes, I was blown away by the price and you get two bottles of beer thrown in. 👍

[@kerryobrien71]

That's an awesome find James, not very often that you find that sort of traditional style in a hotel. The cannon on the roof is a great touch. On the royalty front, perhaps you'd be more Prince Harry than Prince William 🤣 Many thanks once again, great video.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers Kerry, certainly worth a stay for a night or two. All the best mate.👍🍺

[@BadMedizin]

NEXT ON JAMES ABROAD! I hide in the bathroom of the local museum until close, then party like a Rock Star! Go for it brother, I got bond... ❤👍👍👍🙏

[@jamesabroad8589]

Sounds like a good idea. Felt a bit like a museuem at times lol

[@Jefe_Perro]

Nice one, James. Lodging worthy of the King of Tak vloggers 👑 Amazing value. Great to see they had a toilet to truly match the spec of the rest of the interior. I'm looking forward to seeing the lazada purchases this stay inspires you to do over the rest of this year. 😀 Take it easy.

[@jamesabroad8589]

I might need to build an extension, the house is full.😁👍 Hope all's well. 👍🍻

[@brianpoffley1771]

The Sgt Major Folk Museum is a nice look and the buddah casting factory too

[@jamesabroad8589]

Yes , will take a look at those in the future.👍🍺

[@ColinC33]

Well wife caught me watching my guilty pleasure James abroad. I was surprised when she sat down to watch you she even sat up watching the bath scene. Well James she announced that we will stay in that hotel going to Chiang Rai next month. So now my savings for July will be spent on a hotel 😅. But honestly we pass through that area many times a year and we never stop there. We usually stop for a night in Uttaradit with the psychotic poodle and the missus of course.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Haha, hopefully the missus wasn't too disturbed lol. That suite is well worth it. All the best 👍

[@ColinC33]

@@jamesabroad8589 I think she was worried why I was looking at a naked man in a fancy bathtub. She had visions of me being the grand marshal of the pride parade on Koh Samui 😉.

[@TheBeefybeefy76]

Hi James, I ve been travelling in and out on Bkk regularly for the last 17 years, Best I ve found for near Suvanabhumi, was recently on the last trip, Names Divalux. Decent prices and a massive pool and the corner rooms at least are great (not tried the others). Have a look. About 2500 a night. I LL be using it for flights in and out in future unless it gets too expensive/ popular. Free airport transit. Does have alot of Chinese tourists, Best Regards Keith

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers Keith. I would like to do some reviews of hotels around the airport. I will check that one out. The Novotel seems to be the main one. Thanks for the suggestion mate 👍

[@stevejeffrey7948]

A beautiful suite. How was it for power sockets as I didn't notice many. Wifi good?

[@jamesabroad8589]

I didn't actually use the WiFi. They had plug sockets on both sides of the bed which isn't common here. there were a few more around the room as well so not too bad for Thailand.👍

[@urquhmc]

WOW!!!! Thanks for bringing this video to us. Shows there are so many hidden gems around needing to be highlighted. Why didn't you bring the Missus? Think about all the bonus points you would get from her. LOL!

[@jamesabroad8589]

You're welcome mate. Enjoy making these vids.👍🍻

[@parasinthephilippines]

Youve finally found your Niche. You could mince all day in that place and wouldn't raise an eyebrow. Who would not want a room full of dust catchers. High end reviews are in your future.

[@jamesabroad8589]

I enjoy doing them. Will add some more in the future.👍🍻

[@TheJavasumatra]

I stayed at that hotel in 2019 when I got married, It's absolutely lovely. I was in Bang Rakam and Phitsanulok last week bust just landed back in the USA today 😞. Keep up the good work, We are really enjoying the content.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Hotel website is showing 4,400 bht incl. breakfast for 2 (midweek special rate). We're staying Monday to Friday in my next life. Khorp Khun Khrap, Your Majesty 🙏.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Prices seem to go up and down daily. Always good to phone the hotel, very happy for that price.👍

[@kevinrobb86]

Strange a shop in Thailand would be selling effigies of the British governments cabinet

[@glennpassmore8441]

Coming from the barossa and McLaren Vale. It's hurts a lot. 600baht for a 4 dollar bottle. Your online experience will combine.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Yes, I thought the price of wine was supposed to come down but it doesn't seem to be the case oh well. 👍

You know it's a fancy establishment when they don't have a bog roll on the table 😄

[@jamesabroad8589]

Haha yes bog roll in a plastic wrapping can't beat it LOL. I will be back to that next week 👍 :-)

[@thailandheron]

I think you must be the first person on KZbin to pronounce Phitsanulok correctly.

I hear it said so often. Usually in short form Philo. 👍🍻

@@jamesabroad8589 Yes that right.

[@andrewrobinson2565]

But is it guest friendly (the wife wants to know 😮)?

[@andrewrobinson2565]

@trevorsmith7753 The hotel website says "2 x Adult, 1 x Child" for the Royal Suite so both the wife and I would veto that. Shame 🤔. +1

[@jamesabroad8589]

I'm innocent, I don't know what that means lol.

[@nickmondo222]

got to ask James........but if you are going to stay at a lovely hotel like that........where is the missus? She doesnt want to go there?

[@jamesabroad8589]

She was under the bed. 😎👍

Oh how that makes me miss the north.......that is as cheap as chips.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Certainly is good value. Well worth a stop off for a night or two. 👍
