Aran Cottage Ngamwongwan The Pool Villa in japanese Garden

This villa in Nonthaburi has a private pool set inside a compact Japanese-style garden, an unusual pairing among the province’s condo-heavy accommodation options. It suits a family group or two couples travelling together who want their own outdoor space rather than a shared pool deck.

The single unit sleeps a family group in an air-conditioned room with a kitchenette, dining area and sofa bed, so cooking a simple meal or laying out extra bedding for kids is straightforward. A work desk covers anyone still tethered to a laptop. Check-in runs from noon to 8pm and checkout from 6am to noon, windows wide enough that early flights or late arrivals aren’t a problem.

Parking is free and on-site, useful since Nonthaburi sits mostly along arterial roads rather than a walkable centre. The garden is the real standout here: a landscaped plot around the pool rather than the token patch of grass most budget villas offer.

Insider Tip: Book this one for the pool, not the location. It sits well back from Nonthaburi’s temples and riverside sights, so plan on driving or booking a ride for day trips.

Best for families or two couples who want a private pool and don’t mind driving to Nonthaburi’s sights.
