Brown House

Udon Thani


Technically in the city, but with an aura of deep countryside, this splendid hotel is centred on an infinity pool looking out over a lotus-filled lake. Though isolated, it sends its own túk-túk into town a few times a day for its guests. Rooms are large and comfy with subtle decoration.
