6 Affordable Hotels in Thailand to Fulfill Your "White Lotus" Dreams on a Budget | Condé Nast Traveler

"Quite different from most hotels in Thailand, this fairly big, blocky property wins on sports facilities: the gym is one of the best you’ll see anywhere, with everything from squat racks to battle ropes, plus there’s an Olympic-sized swimming pool for sporty laps or paddleboarding, a climbing wall, and a small spa for muscle-relieving massages. Rooms are modern and minimalist in soothing grays and whites; some have access to several swimming pools, others offer spacious balconies. There isn’t direct beach access, but cross the road and you’ll reach the beach club and one of the restaurants, where bean bags float on the pool and DJs play nightly sets as you sip cocktails on the sand." - Hannah Summers
