Srihome Chainat — a rice-field guesthouse with a pool, easy on the wallet in Wat Sing
If you want somewhere quiet and rural with a pool for the kids to splash in, and a price that won't sting, Srihome Chainat (Grandma Sri Home & Camping) is a small guesthouse set right among the rice fields of Ban Don Tum in Wat Sing District, and it fits the bill nicely · It's a family-style place with a pool with views, a kids pool, an on-site restaurant, free bikes to ride around, and parking right by your room — well suited to families or groups of friends who drive in and want that quiet rice-field feel · Rooms start at around THB 550/night and it scores 8.0 from 67 reviews, which is solid for a small place like this.
Srihome Chainat, or Grandma Sri Home & Camping, sits at 419 Moo 5, Nong Bua subdistrict, Wat Sing District, in the Ban Don Tum area — a small, easygoing countryside guesthouse out among the rice fields, not a hotel block · What guests like most is the setting: green rice fields all around in rural Wat Sing, genuinely quiet and far from any town bustle, ideal for a slow getaway and for letting the kids run around in the open.
Rooms come in several styles, from a compact Deluxe up to family rooms and small houses that sleep 5–6 · there's a Deluxe King, a 30 sqm Family Room, a bungalow and a one-bedroom house · all rooms have air conditioning, a TV, a private bathroom, a patio or porch and free Wi-Fi · there's a garden, a sitting terrace, and free bikes to ride around the fields, giving it the feel of staying at a relative's country home rather than a hotel.
"A guesthouse out in the rice fields, peaceful and great for a real rest — rooms are big and clean, the hosts are kind, the kids loved the pool, and the restaurant food is good."
What guests mention most is the pool with rice-field views and the kids pool that children love, along with the on-site restaurant serving good local food · many reviews praise the roomy, clean rooms and the warm, kind hosts · parking is right by the rooms, the front desk is open 24 hours, and there's a coffee shop and bar on site — handy for families who drive in and want everything in one place without heading out anywhere far.
To be honest about it — the location is out in the rice fields of Wat Sing District, a fair way from Chai Nat town and the Chai Nat Bird Park, so having your own car is all but essential; getting around without one is hard · this is a small rural guesthouse with local-style standards rather than a chain hotel, and at times the Wi-Fi or some facilities may not match what you'd get in town · if you set your expectations to the price and the rice-field-guesthouse style, these are easy enough to accept, but it's worth checking room photos and messaging ahead about details before you book.
In short, Srihome Chainat suits families or groups of friends who drive in, want a quiet rice-field guesthouse with a pool for the kids, at an easy price · it's not for people who want to be in the middle of town or who expect big-hotel facilities, but if you want roomy family rooms, a pool, an on-site restaurant and a quiet rural setting, it delivers all that at a reachable price — and the 8.0 score confirms most guests come away happy.
A tip from reading the reviews: if you're coming as a group, ask for a family room or one of the small houses that sleep 5–6 rather than booking several small rooms · if you're a family with kids, check the pool opening hours and the depth of the kids pool first · over long holiday weekends the rooms fill quickly because there are only a few, so message ahead to book and ask to see real room photos before confirming.

- 💡If you don't have your own car — the rice-field location makes transport hard and onward travel awkward → come with a car or plan a rental in advance.
- 💡If you're coming as a group or over a long holiday weekend — family rooms are limited and fill fast → book ahead, state your numbers, and confirm the pool hours.
