If you want a Nong Bua Lamphu stay that is genuinely quiet, set among gardens, with a fishing pond to unwind beside in the evening — all for a couple of hundred baht — Baan Suan Chiva Saran Resort & Fishing Park is a name locals mention · a 2-star garden resort on the edge of town in Ban Hat Sawan, Nong Bua · loft-style raw-concrete rooms with high ceilings, spacious and clean · compiled from real guest reviews, score 7.4 from 12 Trip.com reviews · rooms from approx. ฿400/night.
Baan Suan Chiva Saran Resort & Fishing Park sits in Ban Hat Sawan, Nong Bua sub-district, Mueang Nong Bua Lamphu — a garden resort on the edge of town, not in the centre but a short drive in. The first thing guests mention is the quiet and the garden setting · mature trees and flowers wrap the buildings and there is a pond in the grounds, making it a place to escape the noise and sleep to the sound of nature for a night or two.
Rooms are detached cottages and a row block in a loft-style, raw-concrete look with high ceilings · reviews agree the rooms are spacious and clean, with cold air conditioning, hot water, a TV and a kettle with coffee provided · the styling is simple and a touch industrial rather than luxurious, but kept clean for the price bracket · some rooms look out over the garden and pond, a spot several guests said is pleasant for morning coffee.
"Fresh air, clean, convenient, big rooms, nice and quiet — a good place to relax with the family."
What sets it apart from the usual budget stay is the fishing pond (the fishing park) on the property · open for a line in the water through the day, it is a real draw for anglers and for families who just want to sit by the water · besides the fishing pond there is a pond in the garden, leafy grounds to wander, generous parking and free Wi-Fi · the overall feel is easy-going relaxation rather than a resort packed with facilities.
On service, the feedback leans positive — staff are helpful and friendly and check-in is straightforward · many comments say it suits families and groups of friends stopping in Nong Bua Lamphu for a night or two, or using it as a base before heading on to Ubolratana Dam or nearby Udon Thani · with rates starting in the low hundreds, it is kind to the budget.
Worth knowing before you book: this is a small, family-run resort with a limited number of rooms, so call ahead over long weekends or when there is an event in the province · the location is on the edge of town, with no restaurants or convenience stores right by the resort, so a car is best and it pays to bring snacks · and because it sits among gardens beside the water, there can be mosquitoes in the rainy season — pack repellent to be comfortable.
In short, Baan Suan Chiva Saran is a sensible pick for anyone who wants a spacious, quiet room set in a garden with a fishing pond, on a budget in Nong Bua Lamphu · it is not a luxury resort and the location is not central, but it delivers what simple-stay travellers look for — comfortable sleep, clean rooms, time with nature, light on the wallet · a score of 7.4 from 12 Trip.com reviews reflects a budget stay that does its job well, as long as you understand what kind of stay it is.
