Despite its world-class race facilities, stunning historical parks and all-conquering football team, the Northeastern city of Buriram is still pretty light on decent accommodation.

 

That’s changing with the arrival of the design-driven chain X2. The 68-room X2 Vibe Buriram (405 Moo 10, Isaan, Muang, x2vibe.com/x2-vibe-buriram) is located a five-minute drive from the city’s famous speedway and Thunder Castle football stadium.

 

All rooms are built around a large central pool area, with facilities including a fifth-floor bar and lounge, ground-floor restaurant, 24-hour fitness center and meeting space for up to 80 people.

 

Expected to open in March, you can already make early reservations although no prices have yet been confirmed.
