TREX Buriram Boutique Hotel — a quiet garden boutique that football and racing fans keep coming back to
If you are in Buriram to cheer on the football at Chang Arena or watch the racing at the Chang International Circuit, and you want somewhere quiet with big rooms at a fair price — TREX Buriram Boutique Hotel is a name that comes up again and again in the reviews. This boutique hotel opened in 2019, with its rooms arranged around a green garden, an outdoor pool and a 24-hour gym. Rooms start at 29 sqm and go up to a 45 sqm junior suite, from approx. THB 1,500/night.
TREX Buriram Boutique Hotel sits on Buriram-Prakhonchai Road in the Samet sub-district, a little out from the city centre. The thing guests mention most is the quiet — the hotel is set in a garden, away from busy main roads, so by nightfall it is genuinely peaceful, ideal after a long drive or once the match is over. Chang Arena and the Chang International Circuit are both about 5 km away, only a few minutes by car or ride-hail.
The rooms here are more spacious than you would expect at this price. Even the smallest, the Caravans Room, is 29 sqm, while the Premier Double is 40 sqm and the Junior Suite reaches 45 sqm. Every room has air-conditioning, a flat-screen TV, fridge, kettle, safety box, a shower bathroom and a patio or balcony onto the garden. Many reviews call the rooms very clean, the beds comfortable, and the in-room kit complete for a one- or two-night stay.
"The room was huge for the price and spotless in every corner. Open the door and there is a green garden, so quiet I slept like a log — perfect base for a match at Chang Arena."
The shared spaces are nicely judged. There is an outdoor pool in the garden, a good size for cooling off rather than a resort-scale pool. The 24-hour gym is a favourite with guests who like to keep training on the road. There is an in-house restaurant and bar, plus garden seating and an outdoor fireplace for the evening. Parking is free and generous, which suits the many visitors who drive themselves to Buriram.
Another strength that fits the hotel's concept is its home-style cooking. The hotel makes a point of its own kitchen, aiming for the warmth of a home-cooked meal. Breakfast is praised for taste, though some guests note honestly that the menu choice is not large — better for short stays than long ones. The staff are warm and attentive, part of why the service score reaches 9.5 on Trip.com.
One thing to know before booking: the quiet location cuts both ways. It is away from the city's shops, markets and restaurants, so a meal out or an evening stroll means using a car every time. If you are not driving yourself, budget for ride-hailing. But if your main targets are the Chang circuit or Chang Arena and you want a quiet, good-value room, the trade-off is fair.
Overall, TREX Buriram Boutique Hotel is a sound choice for football and racing visitors, couples or small families who want a big, clean, quiet room for a few thousand baht. A score of 9.2 from 41 Trip.com reviews (cleanliness 9.5, service 9.5) shows most guests leave happy. Rooms start from about THB 1,500/night for a standard room, rising when there is a big match or a race weekend, so book ahead.
