November Garden Pool Villa Chai Nat — a freshly renovated private pool villa in the rice fields
If you want a place in Chai Nat with a pool all to yourself, where you wake up to rice fields and mountain views with no towers in sight — November Garden Pool Villa Chainat is the name people keep mentioning. It's a freshly renovated boutique pool villa in Ban Bung Hak Kong Sin, Mueang Chai Nat. The hook is a private outdoor pool and a genuinely peaceful rice-field setting, plus an in-villa kitchen and a BBQ area — ideal for families or groups of friends who want to book the whole house. Rates start at about ฿1,200/night for the smallest villa. The trade-off is the out-of-town location: you really need your own car here.
What sets November Garden apart from most stays in Chai Nat is that it's a genuinely private pool villa, not a row of hotel rooms. The villa sits in the middle of the rice fields in Ban Bung Hak Kong Sin, about 4–5 km from the town centre, with mountain views and a quiet you rarely get at an ordinary hotel. The main draw is the private outdoor pool with a pool bar and a kids' pool, so children can splash about without sharing the water with other guests.
The property has been freshly renovated, and guests consistently say everything looks new and spotlessly clean. Rooms come with a terrace, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a water heater and hair dryer, and some units have a fully equipped kitchen so you can cook for yourselves. There's a range of sizes, from a small one-bedroom villa up to larger three- to five-bedroom houses that sleep around 10–12 — great for big families or groups who want the whole place to themselves.
Eating in is easy. There's a poolside BBQ area for your own cook-out, a small on-site bar, and an à la carte breakfast. On top of that there are free bikes for riding around the fields, free private parking, free Wi-Fi throughout, and hosts whom many guests describe as kind and genuinely helpful, sorting out requests in a warm, personal way.
"Felt like a hidden gem out in the rice fields — spotless room, the pool was well kept, the owner was so kind, and the views all around are fields and mountains. Wonderfully peaceful, perfect for a family getaway."
To be straight with you, the limitation guests mention most is the remote location and the need for a car. The villa is out among the fields, with no restaurants or convenience stores within walking distance, so it's awkward without your own transport. Many people get around this by ordering delivery or buying supplies in town beforehand — which fits nicely with having a kitchen and BBQ on hand.
A few smaller details aren't perfect either. Some reviews note that the beds are quite firm, and that a couple of bathrooms have no curtain or proper shower enclosure, so water can splash around. Occasionally the pool hasn't been fully tended to at check-in, so it's worth messaging the host ahead if you're a big group or want to use the pool the moment you arrive. Bookings here are also non-refundable on several platforms, so lock in your dates before you confirm.
Overall, November Garden Pool Villa scores a high 9.0 out of 10 from real guest reviews (around 48 of them, with some recent stays rating it as high as 9.5). It's a pool villa that lands well for anyone who wants privacy, a pool of their own and a quiet rice-field setting in Chai Nat, on a budget that starts around ฿1,200 for the small villa and climbs into the thousands if you book a larger house. If you have a car and want to escape the bustle with your family or friends, it offers something the town's tower hotels simply can't.

- 💡If you don't have your own car — the villa is out in the fields, 4–5 km from town, with no shops to walk to → without a car it's awkward; consider an in-town stay like Chaophayathara Riverside or Nara Premium instead.
- 💡If you're a light or fussy sleeper — some reviews say the beds are quite firm → if a soft mattress matters to you, ask the host beforehand or bring a topper.
- 💡If you're only staying one night and won't cook — the kitchen and BBQ are the whole point here; skip them and the remote location feels less worth it → buy food in town beforehand or arrange delivery in advance.
