Hotéis Pet friendly em Ubon Ratchathani Province, Thailand

We booked for 4 nights and we arrived and booked in. They showed us to our room which was effectively a metal box similar to a shipping container perched above the swimming pool. It looked interesting but it was very very small inside. Because of Thailand heat it has to be said it was stifling hot inside. It was unbearable. There was a small air conditioner mounted on the wall which we switched on full and waited 1/2 an hour. There was hardly any cold air coming out of it at all even in the lowest setting. We were both stifled with the heat. It was even worse in the small adjoining toilet/shower. It didn't smell clean we noted. Because of the lack of proper air conditioning we decided not to stay any longer as it was so uncomfortable locked in the small metal container room. We asked for our money back but we had to pay 900 TB for the night we didn't stay in. The Thai manager didn't accept that the air conditioner wasn't up to the job at all quoting me how many BTU's it was supposed to throw out. The fact was that the aircon didn't do the job of cooling the tin box room down making it very uncomfortable to be in. We tried the restaurant food before checking in and it was typical Thai Isaan cuisine which we liked and sitting on the pontoon by the Mun River was a nice experience eating our lunch. We would loved to have stayed and seen the beautiful sunsets here but the Accommodation simply wasn't up to scratch to be anywhere near the so called bedroom which was a effectively a tin box that held the heat equipped with a cheap ineffective aircon unit.

It was a bit of hassle for me getting tot his place independently. I ended up getting expensive taxis there and back - 2,700B from Ubon there, and 2,000B on the return to Kong Chiam. I stopped for a visit at Pha Taem on the way there, and Sao Chaleang and the two coloured river on the way back. The return price would have been the same including a further stop, so the ideal would have been to get a bus there and taxi back. There is apparently one bus a day that goes up the main road close to the hotel, but on the return it wasn't due until late afternoon so didn't mesh with my plans. The bungalow rooms are large and comfortable. Each has a shady balcony with a couple of trees planted in front, as otherwise the view is just of the road through the interior of the property. Each has a parking space. There are a coupe of niggles like no bedside tables and no sockets by the bed, but nothing major. The air con works well. For a resort, there's little to do on the property itself, but the location makes it good for a few activities. Despite bike hire being mentioned as one of the things they offered, clearly no one had asked for a long time as the bikes had to be taken away and sorted before I could use one. Still, it turned up in good shape about half an hour after I asked for it, and was actually a decent multi-speed bike. I cycled to Sam Phan Bok which took about half an hour. It does involve riding on the main road, but there's a decently sized edge piece where the mopeds ride that mean it's not too scary even though large lorries do come past relatively frequently. If you turn right out of the property, the junction with the main road is about 10 minutes' walk away. Just before that there's a small mini market and restaurant (rather incongruously, a place specialising in international cuisine like pizza and steak. The menu's all in Thai, but the owner speaks English). There's another shop and some local food places at the road junction. If you turn left from the resort, it's a 1 mile walk through a village to a nice view of the river (it looks like you can get boat trips there) and a couple of eating places. The food in the resort is good, and they kindly adapted a couple of things to make them meat free for me. They allowed me to refill my water from the urn in the restaurant so I didn't have to use any of the bottled water provided. On one night I was there, a large school party was staying which jammed up the internet, but after they'd left the wifi was good.

cheap and good and clean near the market and the restaurant next to it
