Hamok, Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you have found the hotel OK. Don't forget, I did say we had stayed there on several occassions. If I have a problem with service anywhere, they don't see me again. Apart from that, the incident I have referred to was about 4 years ago - I'm sure if the cashier had...

Let me clarify, the additional charges were for my daughter/granddaughter coming to collect us one afternoon, and waiting in our room for about an hour with us before we went out. I tried complaining to the manager, who was conveniently in Bangkok at the time. It was at that point that we simply pac...

I have stayed at that hotel on several occassions. My last experience had me vowing that I would never stay there again. As I have posted several times in the past, my daughter and her family live in Hua Hin. While staying there, she visited us in our room with her eldest daughter (3 years old at th...

Janis, I don't know how much time you've spent in Thailand, but there are times when your body needs some home cooking. With a name like Janis, I'll assume your a lady, so I won't go in to too much detail. However, if you're really interested, look here http://www.huahinafterdark.com/forum/viewtopic...

My daughter and granddaughter were granted 6 month visas, where as my son-in-law was only granted 3 months. All 3 app...
