The Hobbit House (Part 2/2)

The Hobbits are nice people, they are worried we'll get a little tired of the Shrine.

And so this mini town was built inside their town. This was a nice change of scenery after seeing Hobbit House upon Hobbit House for a while 😅

They have also just completed the extension of the Santorini hotels, right next to the Hobbit House. So now you can have two options for accomodation.

I don't really recommend staying at The Hobbit House though. Its just too far from almost every other attractions, at least 30-60 minutes drive away. Unless you are really into The Lord of The Rings and roleplay (yes they do offer roleplay costumes at very affordable rates!), you'll probably finish combing the place and taking hundreds of pictures in 2 hours time.

And to be honest, the place isn't properly upkept. The paintworks on the hobbit house are fading, the plants are wildly growing everywhere and where they aren't supposed to be. I had a quick glance into the rooms and its very basic. There is very little privacy for the hotel guests due to the visitors streaming in, and I even saw some trying to pry into the rooms just to take pictures 😐

What I do recommend is to make a short visit, catering for at least 1-2 hours there. The Hobbit House is on the way if you are heading to Jim Thompson Farm. You can also visit Ban Mai Chay Nam Restaurant along the way if you are travelling to The Hobbit House from the direction of Khao Yai.

The entrance fees is 100 baht for adult and 50 baht for child. There is additional fees for renting the costumes (optional) if you would like to.
