The City Resort perfectly connects business and leisure travelers to the natural, cultural and culinary wonders of Phatthalung in the utmost comfort and convenience.

Dusit Hotels and Resorts, the hotel arm of Dusit International, one of the leading hotel and real estate development companies in Thailand, has continued its national Expansion with the smooth opening of the Dusit Princess Phatthalung – the 15th Dusit-branded property in the kingdom and the first in the extreme south of the country.

The four-star hotel, with 132 spacious and elegantly furnished rooms and suites covering up to 79 square meters, sets new standards for leisure and business stays in Phatthalung, an emerging southern destination known for its rich cultural heritage and natural wonders, just an hour’s drive from Trang Airport and an hour and forty minutes from Hat Yai International Airport.

Dusit Princess Phatthalung has been carefully designed to reflect the stunning natural setting and the finely woven distaff craft – known locally as Krajood – for which the region is famous. It offers a quiet oasis in the city center and a wide range of family facilities. Among them: a large sculptural swimming pool with an adjacent children’s pool and open spaces for Yoga and Muay Thai classes, nature-inspired activities and regular events highlighting the manual work of local artisans. A state-of-the-art ballroom that can accommodate up to 300 people allows the complex to host large and small gatherings.

As a homage to the distinctive cuisine of the region, the complex also offers a specialized restaurant, Chi Chiao, which celebrates local culinary traditions with sophisticated interpretations of Thai-Chinese street food classics. Fried rice noodles with crispy sea bass in sauce, classic char siu pork with honey marinade, Hainanese chicken rice and pork ribs in a Bak kut clay pot are just some of the delicious options on offer. Dusit’s Signature Dusit Gourmet serves premium teas and coffees, invigorating juices and smoothies, freshly made treats and a range of international favorites in a cozy setting overlooking the resort’s pond. Both restaurants offer the best local ingredients, including organic Sangyod brown rice from nearby farms.

Phatthalung is rich in culture and is considered the birthplace of the shadow puppet shows of Nang Talung and Nora, a lively and acrobatic form of dance theater. The quiet town is also home to many ancient monuments and temples and a unique natural monument – Khao Ok Talu – a striking limestone rock formation, the top of which offers a breathtaking panoramic view.

Local gems include the famous Tai Nod Green Market, a weekend retreat adorned with charming bamboo stalls and offering a diverse range of local specialties, from savory curries and soups to fresh fruits and traditional Desserts. The daily night market at the station, with more than 200 stalls offering clothes, traditional crafts and regional specialties, adds to the dynamism of the city. The Chalerm Phra Kiat Bridge, the longest bridge in Thailand over the Wang Tanot River, is another remarkable attraction and offers a breathtaking view of the wetlands.

Guests of Dusit Princess Phatthalung also have convenient access to natural wonders such as the vast Thale Noi Bird Sanctuary, the largest of its kind in Thailand, and Khao Pu-Khao Ya National Park, both just a 40-minute drive away.
