Hotel recommendations in HH . . .

Post by **DaveT** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 4:11 pm

Guys,

I'm organising my visit to HH in order to have a look around, suss out the property scene and hopefully play some golf!! I'm still keen to possibly retire out there with my Thai partner, but this visit will be on my own.

What are the best hotels in town? I do like my creature comforts so looking for a good 4 or 5 star hotel, close to where it's all happening.

Look forward to hopefully meeting a lot of you guys.

Thanks in advance for any help/recommendations.

Cheers,

Dave

Thanks Harry, I did see that, but as you know hotels will always advertise themselves as best they can, which isn't always the truth.

I was looking for people who had actually stayed at some of them - Hilton, Sofitel, etc - the top ones - who may have comments, recommendations, experiences, advice, etc.

^ My apologies mate. Just trying to be as helpful as possible.

Sadly I have no personal experience of the top class places, except for the odd bar & disco excursion. I'd rather slum it & spend my money on beer & gals. *did I really just say that

If you can afford them, then the Hilton and Sofitel will meet all of your needs. Have you looked at the HHAD map?

I have had a good look at the Hilton and Sofitel on the HHAD hotels thread. The hotels look good. Difficult to say how far they each are from the town centre itself. Ideally they'd be staggering distance from where the action is - don't want to be ar$ed with getting transport back.

Thanks Harry, I do appreciate your reply and the link.

Maybe I'll slum it too - although I do intend to stay 100% on the straight and narrow, once a few of those beers go down you never know what will happen. I wonder what the Hilton and Sofitel's stance would be if I did stray off the straight and narrow . . . .

Relax man.
They both are within staggering distance to heaven.

Thanks Norseman. That's all I needed to know.

Which bars do you recommend?

What exactly is it you're looking for in a bar? Facilities & entertainment wise that is, alcohol is taken for granted.

Friendly atmosphere, good music, British sports on a large screen tv (golf, football) and although I probably wouldn't be drawn, a beautiful set of girls that don't pester but interesting to chat to.

What do you reckon?

Yes, there are many gals in HH who count themselves amongst the membership of MENSA.

Very good Harry.

Now that is too pigeon English to dream up, so I reckon that's a live email that one of those MENSA Thai ladies sent you that you've cut and pasted.

Did you send her £10K?
