Charm & CharacterMarketsTemples

Intimate 3-star resort in Amphawa, close to the floating market. Standard and deluxe villas overlooking an outdoor pool, 1.5 hours from Bangkok.

Ardea Resort Pool Villa is a small 3-star property located in Amphawa, in Samut Songkhram province, approximately ninety minutes southwest of Bangkok. Address: 239/7 Amphawa, Samut Songkhram. The resort embraces a minimalist Thai design philosophy, with villas arranged around an outdoor pool and positioned just moments from Amphawa's renowned floating market.

Why stay here

Amphawa is best explored in the late afternoon and evening, when the floating market comes alive and boat tours depart to observe fireflies along the canal. Having a base on-site transforms the experience: you skip the back-and-forth commute from Bangkok and discover the town once day-trippers have departed.

Ardea Resort Pool Villa answers this need perfectly. It's a modestly scaled property, rated 3-star, that prioritizes understated comfort over grand gestures. The outdoor pool, around which the guest room terraces are arranged, serves as the establishment's anchor point.

Atmosphere and architecture

The spirit is that of a small, contemporary resort with Thai influences: clean lines, light materials, landscaped gardens. The room terraces open directly onto the pool, creating effortless flow between accommodation, water, and shared spaces. The property's compact size explains its serene atmosphere—more intimate guesthouse than sprawling resort.

Rooms

Two categories are offered:

  • Standard: 24 m², air-conditioned, with furnished terrace overlooking the pool.
  • Deluxe: 32 m², same layout with more generous proportions.

Some rooms can be adjoining, a useful option for families or groups of friends traveling together.

Location

Address: 239/7 Amphawa, Samut Songkhram. Amphawa is reached by car from Bangkok in roughly 1.5 hours depending on traffic, or by minibus from the Southern Terminal. The town is renowned for its weekend floating market—more authentic and less frequented by tour groups than Damnoen Saduak.

Nearby attractions

The resort serves as a base for exploring several regional highlights:

  • Amphawa Floating Market: minutes away, lively Friday through Sunday evenings.
  • Maeklong Railway Market: market stalls built along railroad tracks that fold away when trains pass.
  • Bang Kung Temple: historic temple whose walls are entwined by banyan tree roots.
  • Rama II Memorial Park: gardens and museum honoring the monarch, who was born in this province.
