Irawadee Resort

Irawadee Resort is a 3-star inn on Intrarakeree Road in Mae Sot, with garden-view rooms set back from the street. It sits within the town itself, in the same district as the Thai–Myanmar Friendship Bridge crossing into Myawaddy, the reason most visitors pass through this stretch of Tak province. Free private on-site parking is listed, useful for anyone driving in from Umphang or elsewhere in the province.

Two room categories are available: the Deluxe Double or Twin Room at 18 square metres, made up with either one large double bed or two single beds, and the larger 35-square-metre VIP Suite with a double bed. Room service is listed, and pets are allowed.

Insider Tip: Check the room size before booking: 18 square metres in the Deluxe Double or Twin is compact if you’re bringing extra luggage or travelling as a family of three.

This suits travellers who want a functional base in central Mae Sot with parking sorted, particularly anyone staying several nights near the border. It’s less suited to guests chasing a resort-style pool or beach view: no swimming facilities are listed, and Mae Sot itself is a working border town rather than a beach destination.

The resort is within Mae Sot town itself, putting the jade and jewellery market and the border crossing within easy reach without needing a taxi from further out.
