Staying at the Dai King's Palace | 3 Minutes to Starlight Night Market + 300㎡ Huge Pool, Kids Didn't Want to Leave!
For our first stop in Xishuangbanna with the kids, I chose the Dai King's Palace Thai-style hotel, right in the heart of Gaozhuang. And it turns out, that was an excellent decision! The Starlight Night Market is just downstairs, a 3-minute walk away. It's perfect for entertaining the kids, grabbing food, and taking photos, all in one go!
🏊 300㎡ Outdoor Pool: A Kid's Paradise
As soon as we entered the hotel, we were amazed! The rooms are built around a massive 300㎡ outdoor pool. The pool is divided into a shallow area (0.8m deep) and a deep area (1.4m deep), and the water temperature was absolutely perfect. My kids jumped in and simply refused to get out. Lush tropical vegetation surrounds the pool, and the water is crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky beautifully. Adults can relax on the loungers by the pool, enjoy the breeze, and take photos – it really makes you feel like you're on vacation.
🌴 Thai Courtyard: Fun for Kids, Great for Photos
Xishuangbanna is hot, so the kids could easily spend an entire afternoon playing at the hotel, allowing the adults to comfortably take photos nearby. The hotel has a Thai-style courtyard design, featuring Thai carved rooms and soft bedding. White walls contrast with dark railings, and tropical palm trees and banana leaves create a stunning backdrop. Every photo looks like it's from a Southeast Asian vacation!
📍 Unbeatable Location! Starlight Night Market Just Downstairs
The location is truly impeccable – the hotel is right next to the Gaozhuang Starlight Night Market, a mere 3-minute walk away, and just 1 minute to the Grand Golden Pagoda. In the evening, after eating and shopping, it's just a short stroll back to the hotel, no need to rush for transportation. During the day, you can even hear the chanting from the Grand Golden Pagoda, which is incredibly soothing. Our room's balcony offered a perfect view for photos with the pagoda, an excellent spot!
🎁 Plenty of Welcome Benefits
Guests receive a complimentary one-time airport/station pick-up service, and a delightful rainforest afternoon tea on the first night. Family rooms also come with children's toiletries – attention to detail at its best.
📸 Photo Tips: The pool and Thai architecture are fantastic photo opportunities. In the evening, when the sunlight hits the water, every shot turns into an Instagram-worthy masterpiece. I recommend wearing light-colored or brightly colored clothes; they go perfectly with the Thai backdrop.
💡 Tips: The hotel is in the core area of Gaozhuang, and parking is limited. If you're driving, it's advisable to contact the front desk in advance to reserve a spot. And remember to book ahead during peak season like summer!
Of all the hotels we stayed at during this Xishuangbanna trip, the Dai King's Palace was one of the kids' favorites – splashing in the pool, having fun at the play area, and exploring the night market. It was all so convenient! Easy for adults, and a blast for the kids.
👏 If you're coming to Xishuangbanna with kids, just go for this one! 🌴✨
