Hotel ratings by criteria:
The hotel is good, no complaints. One minus is construction from morning to night, but we noticed it only for the first couple of days. Breakfasts are of the same type, but no one has ever been hungry, and they didn’t come to eat, but to see the country. We lived in a standard - I think it's not worth overpaying for a bungalow. The bungalow is somehow dark and there is less space, and the building is small, so walking to the sea and the pool is very close. Some complained that it is far to the city center to travel. This made me personally happy, because in the city center there are crowds of people, a lot of transport, etc. The range is symbolic. On a white tuk-tuk min. 15 (20 baht / person), then changed to blue (5-10 baht / person) and another 5 minutes. Sometimes they didn’t use blue, but just walked. It was also possible to travel by hotel minibus for 50 baht / person to the center, they go on schedule.

Tours. The crocodile farm and Nong Nooch were included in the price of the tour.

If Nong Nooch is not included in your ticket, don’t buy it, but go yourself, it’s not far from the hotel in the opposite direction from the city, and no one will rush, otherwise we didn’t manage to really consider everything. Nong Nooch was offered to us either for free in the morning, or with a surcharge of 20 USD. i. e. on Sat in the second half, but already with dinner + carry around the park on an open bus + launch some burning things into the sky in the evening, making a wish. Paid - no regrets. It was worth it. True, Dima was not lucky with the guide - he said absolutely nothing, and what he said turned out to be untrue.

Hotel guide Peter from Songklod Group was only engaged in knocking money from tourists. He did not answer a single question for which we did not pay. Where they wanted to go themselves - dissuaded. They asked about MINI SIAM - he said it was far away and we would not get there ourselves. It turned out to be very close. Drive the same white tuk-tuk a little further than usual. Entrance is 250 baht / person, and Peter wanted 15 c. u. e.
It's the same with a museum in a bottle. The Temple of Truth on the spot costs 500 baht / person, and from the hotel 550 baht. It was possible to buy at the hotel, but we traveled by ourselves. All sorts of Safaris and the Tiger Zoo are probably worth buying cheaper from Thai guides. What difference does it make who will show you giraffes. But there is nothing to go to the Kwai River without a Russian-speaking guide. Expensive of course, 130 USD. e. , but it's worth it. Alesya traveled with us - a wonderful guide, it was not boring.

Check out Lukdod Gift Shop! Prices are 3 times lower than in other places. So before you buy something in the city - go to Lukdod, there is a large selection.

Don't buy the White House Hotel. We had a friend who lived there. For some reason, all tourists constantly suffered from indigestion. And some muck is added to the pool, from which the hair turns green.
In general, if you have any questions - write to Sensar@yandex. en
I will be glad to be useful.
