Asita Eco Resort
Asita Eco Resort
Eco-resort on a canal in Samut Songkhram, 1.5 hours from Bangkok. Traditional Thai villas, spa, marine farm and floating markets ten minutes away.
Asita Eco Resort occupies a pine-lined property on a canal in Samut Songkhram, approximately 60 km from Bangkok. The complex brings together homes and villas inspired by traditional Thai architecture, designed for a stay focused on nature, a slower pace, and escape from urban hustle.
Why choose Asita Eco Resort
Three elements set this accommodation apart in rural Samut Songkhram. First, its location on a canal, 1.5 hours from Bangkok and ten minutes from the floating markets of Amphawa and Damnoen Saduak. Second, its eco-resort approach: the restaurant sources part of its supplies from the property's vegetable garden and marine farm. Finally, its accommodations spread across traditional wooden buildings with terraces overlooking the canal or gardens.
Atmosphere
The resort embraces the Thai countryside rather than a beachfront resort experience. The canal waters, pine trees, wooden docks, and absence of road traffic define the atmosphere. Evenings, punctuated by fireflies around the verandas, extend this rural retreat ethos. The outdoor pool and bar remain available for travelers seeking more conventional comfort at day's end.
Rooms and villas
Four accommodation categories, all thoughtfully designed with a revisited traditional aesthetic:
- Superior Room (42 m²): for two guests, private balcony overlooking the gardens, sofa bed possible for one additional person.
- Deluxe Villa (42 m²): same layout as the Superior, but with a larger terrace balcony directly overlooking the canal.
- Thai Deluxe Room (30 m²): located on the second floor of a traditional Thai house, with large windows and terrace offering views over the property and surrounding greenery.
- Thai Suite (60 m²): also on the second floor of a traditional building, with separate living area and private veranda.

Dining and services
The restaurant sits beside the river. The menu blends traditional Thai cuisine with adapted Western dishes. Part of the fruits, vegetables, and seafood comes from the resort's own facilities (vegetable garden and marine farm), a point worth confirming on arrival. Cooking classes are offered for guests wishing to bring home a few recipes.
Spa by Asita complements the wellness offering with traditional Thai massages, aromatic oil treatments, foot massages, and facials made with natural products. Bicycles are available to explore the surrounding paths.
Location and access
The hotel is situated in Samut Songkhram, a coastal province west of Bangkok. Plan for approximately 1.5 hours of driving from the capital. For international travelers, airport transfer service can be arranged by the resort.
By train, journeys depart from Wongwian Yai Station in Bangkok, heading toward Samut Songkhram, with the final stretch by tuk-tuk or taxi from the station. This longer option allows you to experience a local railway line appreciated for its scenery.
Nearby attractions
The region concentrates several sites accessible in less than thirty minutes:
- Amphawa Floating Market: active mainly in the late afternoon on weekends, ten minutes away.
- Damnoen Saduak Floating Market: more touristy, lively in the morning.
- Maeklong Railway Market: stalls set up on the rails, folded away when the train passes.
- King Rama II Museum: dedicated to the region's heritage and the reign of King Rama II.
To extend your trip on the Bangkok side, several urban addresses complement this rural stopover nicely, such as the Anantara Riverside Resort & Spa on the Chao Phraya riverbank, the Shanghai Mansion in the heart of Chinatown, or Silom Serene in the business district.
Plan your stay
Asita Eco Resort fits naturally into an itinerary combining Bangkok, rural Samut Songkhram, and your journey's continuation toward the south or north of the country. To build this custom-tailored route, explore our Thailand trips.
