Stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. When you check in, you need to leave 1000 baht or 100 USD.
The hotel is basic like most 3 star hotels. Unless there is a road junction under the windows and passing traffic is clearly audible. Also in the room was a rather old TV with a semi-working remote control. But it was not very important for us, because. We spent the whole day on excursions and came only to spend the night.
The only thing that spoiled the impression about this hotel was the story that happened to us upon departure.
At the reception, they told me that we drank water from the minibar and we had to pay. I never even open minibars in hotels, and even more so there was free water in the room.
After I explained that I did not touch paid water, I came
boy and brought a small bottle of water on which the seal was half torn. Those. a defective bottle on the face, because I don't even know how to break a filling in half.

At the reception flatly refused to understand that I did not touch this bottle and asked to pay.
And it’s not clear where they brought this bottle from - the dude just came up and brought it.
Even if she really was in the minibar - I most likely would not have proved that I did not touch her. Because when we checked in, no one saw us off, as is done in most hotels, they just gave us the key and that's it. If I found this in the room and called the staff, they would most likely say that it was I who had just broken the seal.
So I didn’t argue with them for a long time, because the car was waiting for us at the airport and they didn’t give back my $100 deposit.
(Now it’s clear why such a large amount should be left at check-in)
I paid them $1 for water, explained that it was a very bad way to make money and left.
One dollar is not the amount that is worth wasting time and nerves. But the way they lured him out left negative memories of this hotel. It would be better if they just asked for tea.
So be careful. It might happen as well.
