While it is an hour out of Bangkok, it is right near the University and the Asian Institute of Technology.
A hidden gem, awesome staff, spoke reasonable english, food was delicious, a great pool and also an outdoor BBQ and grill with a permanent chef. Live music most nights, kept us well entertained and sometimes in stitches! Rooms were spotlessly clean, WiFi worked well in all areas. Transport was readily available, taxis on the meter, Starbucks out the front and a Burger King for fast food junkies and coffee on the go...
Highly recommended.
