The Northeast province Buriram is not only famous for the Phanomrung historical park, but also its all-conquering football team, Buriram United. And here’s exciting news for football fans waiting for the new season to start in February. Thailand’s first football-themed hotel, Amari Buriram United, just opened its doors on Dec 1. The 60-room property is designed by the same architects as the adjacent Thunder Castle Stadium. Not only that, it’s designed to resemble a football stadium with most rooms facing a central area, which is a mini football field and swimming pool. Bathrooms are designed as footballers’ changing rooms. Even the restaurant boasts bench-style seating, while there’s also a bar and a gymnasium. There are three room types, ranging from a 34-sq-meter superior room to a 114-sq-meter suite. Through Dec 19, opening rates start from B1,111 for a superior room.
