You know the score. One thing goes wrong for you and then everything seems to be wrong, so read this as a ”what can happen” not what always happens. Firstly the positives - there's a nice pool, the staff are friendly and polite like most Thais, the omelet was Fab at breakfast (and proper coffee is a pleasant rarity), the bed and bed linen were comfortable. As Jethro (the Cornish comedian) says...what happened was.... We arrive down a dusty back road/dirt track. The two young staff (friendly etc) cannot speak any other languages than Thai. We check in and go to our ”bungalow”. It's not what we booked, in fact it's a room that is available for two thirds of what we paid. At this point I have to say that's only £10 and thus no biggie, but 400Bahts is a big extra profit over here. Worse, not only does it not have a TV (again not bothered as we haven't watched one for two weeks), or a fridge but it's shabby, with beaten up old furniture and the shower is cold. The young girl wants to move us, but no, the young lad fixes the shower and brings an old fridge in. The room is still pokey and shabby and has no desk (there's a wooden bench if you like that sort of rustic!). Unlike other rooms who have patio sets we have a rotten wooden seat outside, we have nowhere to hang clothes and no TV but hey ho, we will bear with that because we just can't be bothered! The other minor issues: food is pretty average, though fairly cheap (we've been spoiled a bit with fantastic street food and restaurants in Bangkok and Koh Lanta). It's not a short walk to anywhere except the bus stop for the old City which is about half a mile. WiFi is pretty unreliable and mainly bad. I went to the bar for two Thai Rums. I got them, albeit measured, and there was a tiny bit left in the bottle which I thought she'd just pour into one of the glasses but no. Now I've owned bars so I thought aha, she'll pour it into the next bottle - good economy really. I return for another shot to find there is, in fact, NO other bottle of local rum! I return to the shabby bedroom slightly irked. I could go on but I'm sure you get the drift. If you get room B3 then know this - it is (should be about a tenner) cheap but you get what you pay for and breakfast and the pool are good. The shower room is laughable if you're not already too hacked off to see the funny side.
