With all the little hicupps I wouldnt change a thing and would definately come back as this is half the experiance. From the shower floor being taped up with Gaffa tape to stop the leak to the power plugs nearly falling out of the wall.....lol We are actually in a delux hotel, besides all that the lady is wonderful and very accomodating.

We thought we were safe catching a taxi in our hotel car park, he was a hotel staff right.... WRONG.....He said he would take us to the Pier...OK..200THB. Little did we know the pier and ferry we ... read more
