Katrina April 2008	The Island Resort & Spa, Chaweng Beach Good location on the Chaweng strip. Its reasonable price gets you a spot on the beach next to the more high end resorts. Away from the noise and yet close enough to the nightlife. Resort staff is warm and very accommodating. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Would recommend to price conscious travelers who also seek good service.	Planning for this trip was painless with the help of sawadee booking service. Quick feedback was given to all my queries wether it be about the resort, pick up from airport to linens in the bedroom.
Kylie Bell-Parker 5/5/2007 - 9/5/2007	Salathai Resort, Patong Beach Would highly recommend. We found the hotel to be excellent value for money, it is located close to everything at Patong beach but very relaxed inside the resort, it is only a small resort but the staff were very friendly and helpful.	Very good
J. B. 2008-February	Ark Bar Garden - Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach Ark Bar is comfortable place if you are on the move with party mindset. The restaurant & beachfront is very popular which tends to attract lots of people. Additionally Chaweng nightlife hot spots are 5 min. walk away, excellent location. So this means, it can be bit noisy around closing time, but ok if you like to go out too. The room was clean and all services were delivered as agreed in advance. So good value for money if you look bargain place with good location. Not recommended for families with small kids.	Very good, fast and reliable. I recommend and plan to use myself for the next trip too.
Tsay Dmitry 2008-10-03 until 2008-24-03	Promtsuk Buri, Thongtakian Beach We just departed from Koh Samui, stayed there for 14 days. This is really superB! Although 1.5 years ago we ve been in Pattaya, but Samui is a full paradise and relax place. Many thanks to Asiahotels.ru for great price and Mr. Anton Sokolov for the help. Some words about Promtsuk Buri. It has 17 bungalows in total. As closer to the sea, as expensive. But the 10 meters difference is not serious. The beach width of 15 meters during the high tide and low tide with 20. No sunbeds but tables and chairs and umbrellas right on the beach. There are three more hotels in addition to ours in a magnificent bay, but they are not too big, so the beach is almost empty. Less Russians, mainly Germans and Britons. Breakfast is good, not buffet style, by order. You can eat and drink as much as you can. The room has a huge bed, TV, the truth without Russian channel, minibar with a couple of free mini-bottles daily. Other drinks are for charge. But we put all out of the refrigerator and stuffed it with products for not going to restaurants. Cheap products we bought in Tesco Lotus or Big C. The hotel is not so close to the main street, and the taxi drivers has no price limits. The best way to rent a car or motorbike. Much cheaper and more convenient, although the movement is the rightside, but everybody takes a slow ride and carefully, not arrogantly. The island on the perimeter of some 60 kilometres, so not difficult to make a ride to all interesting places. You can book tours through the Russian guides - 10% cheaper than the others. Checked. if you interested in diving - go to Koh Tao for clear water, beautiful fish, shells and corals. But the swimming with a mask in the bay near the hotel is also interesting. I saw there clivus and barracuda, and many others (i don t know it names), but a lot of fish and different. Local prices for amunition in all dive shops cheaper than in Moscow. Overall impression of the roof above and I want to go there again.	I like to pay the rest of amount directly on spot!
Salem saleh hussain almatouq 2008-07-20 until 2008-07-25	Idyllic Samui Dream Villas Beach Resort, Samrong Bay Very very very nice resort.after i back home i will tell my familly and friends to stay here.manny thank to u. Salem almatouq kuwait	Very good booking servies,I did all my reservatoin in thailand by this wepsite and i got cheaper price from the hotels desk.
Nicole Furi 2008-07-20 until 2008-07-22	Saikaew Villa, Koh Samet, Saikaew Beach Okay place- most of it was under construction when I was there the past weekend. I would not suggest staying in the rooms in the back for awhile. My fan room was basic, like a motel room. Windows opened up onto a wall which wasn t great, but the room was clean. The staff was friendly and it s a good location on the beach. I didn t eat in their restaurant.	The booking service reserved the wrong dates (I know for sure I entered the correct ones). But it was ok because the hotel changed it for me.
Frank 2008-07-20 until 2008-07-21	Nanatai Mansion, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 04 (Nana) Very good value very good location staff friendly and professional. Rooms clean bed comfy	Was very quick in confirmation
David Vargas Galdos 2008-07-19 until 2008-07-22	Chaweng Beach Hotel, Chaweng Beach For the price I have to say that it was very good. Good location and good service with the cleaning staff. Everything would have been a 10 if it wasn t for a receptionist that wanted to charge me more for the internet (not included). The room was nice, roomy, clean and everything worked perfectly. I gor a room away from the main road so that made it even more peaceful.	Very satisfied with the booking.
Marco Nicolaas Noorlander 2008-07-19 until 2008-07-21	Grand Diamond Suites Hotel, Petchburi Road The rooms were beautiful, clean and big enough. We ariived early in the morning and it was not a problem at all to get our rooms. The restaurant is not big enough when the hotel is full of guests. At saterday we ve wait 15 minutes for a table. The staff in the restaurant were not helpfull and friendly.The situation of the hotel is ideal for shopping. All shoppingmalls are nearby. A walk to the MBK takes us 15 minutes. Good and clean swimmingpool.	Quick as always.
Low Tze Kheng Shawn&Shirley Djong 2008-07-19 until 2008-07-21	Bangkok City Inn, Rajdamri Road, near CWP The rooms were not bad, clean and comfortable, the shower was a bit iffy in the sense the hot water goes to extreme temperatures sometimes, from scalding to hot etc. Breakfast was bland, but passable, the items on the room service menu tasted pretty good though. Other than that, the staff there are polite and eager to help, except the language barrier can sometimes be a pain when trying to get a point across in a hurry or short for time. Otherwise, great hotel for the money and the location.	Very fast, very prompt, great service.
SHINJI YOSHIOKA 2008-07-19 until 2008-07-21	Romeo Palace Hotel, North Pattaya I think that the place is good because around hotel there are many shops and is near the beach, too. However, the hotel is old and doesn t have the elevator. The room is dim, and the television of equipment is very small either. Breakfast was an ordinary, American breakfast. The pool was good for a moment. The greater part of guests at this hotel were the German,I think. I will not stay twice.
joy 2008-07-19 until 2008-07-20	Sunrise Tropical Resort, Ao Nang, Railay Beach East very beautiful hotel, nice garden & very spacious room & bathroom. Only short walking distance to the west beach & phra nang beach!	good!
Mr.Praphan SaeTang 2008-07-19 until 2008-07-20	Natural Park Resort, Pattaya, Jomtien Beach At the first time I booked this hotel, I m not sure that there will be an actual Natural Park Resort located in Jomtien Pattaya but after I arrived the hotel, I was very surprised that the surroundings of the hotel are full of big trees - green, clean and very quiet - I love it. But the facilities in the room I stayed (210) were not completed : Bathtub, soap container, towels/clothes hanger. Swimming Pool is also very nice. Breakfast is good.	Information and follow up system is very good.
Yoko SAKODA 2008-07-19 until 2008-07-20	Bangkok City Inn, Rajdamri Road, near CWP Good location , reasonable price. I reccomend you may book higher floor.	Fast and exact. so reliable. Tks
Balasubramanian P 2008-07-19 until 2008-07-20	Pung-Waan Kwai Yai Resort, Kwai Yai Good resort and a pleasing environment. The breakfast served was very fantastic.	Prompt and efficient service
Jonathan R Dunnette 2008-07-19 until 2008-07-20	Nara Garden Resort, Bophut Beach Nice place. Very close to the airport and very good service. Only possible down side is that the hotel is perfectly on the incoming flight path for the airport. Absolutely no problem for us (we have a 3 year old who loved it), but might annoy some. Rooms were very nice indeed and we would definately stay there again.
Colin A MacDonald 2008-07-19 until 2008-07-20	Manhattan hotel, Bangkok, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 15 Our 2 deluxe rooms were upgraded to one two- bed room executive suite. It was huge with lounge dining and two bathrooms. The decor was a little tired/soul less and there was an odour from smokers in the room and corridors, otherwise clean and comfortable. Friendly staff, good breakfast buffet, 2pm checkout free of charge then free baggage storage and use of the pool/towel and showers til our airport transfer at 6pm.	No problems at all
Per Frederiksen 2008-07-18 until 2008-07-21	Thong Tarin Hotel, Surin A midleclass town-hotell.Noting special. Bad breakfast, nice beds and clean room. Laudry-service cheap and very fast. Staff hardly speak english, and no one talked to us for 3 days. When we checked in: Not a welcome , no good morning when we went for brakfast and not even a Thank you when we checked out. Next time in Surin we will stay at The Majestic.
Mathieu Bechu 2008-07-18 until 2008-07-20	Prinz Garden Villa Service Apartment, Hua Hin Town Very good hotel. I highly recommand this hotel to everyone. Staff are very friendly, owner s hotel are vrey kind. We enjoy our time in swimmingpool. Breakfast in the morning is excellent, I recommand Pancake with honey, it was perfect. Prinz garden villais a calm location. Hope you ll enjoy your time there like me.	Perfect as always
Ekawit Apinyarat 2008-07-18 until 2008-07-20	Saikaew Beach Resort, Koh Samet, Saikaew Beach The beach front is very nice, but the tap water pressure is very low. The transportation service fron Banpe to Semet is included. The other service is OK.	Very good
Mr.Weerachai Supattaramatakul 2008-07-18 until 2008-07-20	Dhevan Dara Resort & Spa, Hua Hin The hotel is very peaceful, nice decoration. Two nights that I spent, it was very relax like we are at home. Their staff were nice and active. But the hotel is not near to the sea and also from downtown too. Anyway, if you have a chance to visit Hua-Hin and would like to have a peaceful moment. This hotel would be one of your choice.	Thanks very much for your assist.
ChengLim Tan 2008-07-18 until 2008-07-20	G House, Hua Hin Brand new hotel. Room is big and clean. No lift but good exercise to climb the stair up to 3rd story where my room was. For those staying on 5th storey, it will be a challlenge if one has to carry a big luggage to the 5th storey on the stair.	good.
Helena 2008-07-18 until 2008-07-20	Royal Princess Larn Luang, Larn Luang Road Absolutely worth the money. Friendly staff, top service, good breakfast.
Jennifer Ann Ryan 2008-07-18 until 2008-07-20	Full Moon Bungalows, Big Buddha Beach This is a perfect place to stay if you are looking at going to the Full Moon Party. Its much quieter than staying at the island. The staff were friendly and very helpful! The beach was right on the doorstep and was a brillant place to relax!	Great and easy to use!
panya sa-nguankaew 2008-07-18 until 2008-07-20	Samui Park Resort, Lamai Beach This is old hotel. Rooms are not good. The swimming pool has many brokens at the bottom. The swimming pool treatment pump never switched on. That means water has no treatment. Water is not clear as normal. Breakfast is so so. No beach for swimming because of many rocks. I recommend strongly you have to stay the other resorts,	Booking sevice is okay. Not good not bad.
Nina H. 2008-07-18 until 2008-07-20	Dragon Beach Resort, Jomtien Beach 3 days 2 nights in this hotel was a nightmare for me and my family. We booked 2 rooms. I shouldn t choose here only its looks good in the picture. The total environtment looks good. The pool looks good too but not large at all and smell (even worst that after raining, very dirty because no one clean the pool). The breakfast was very very very bad..emm..let s say..things which left when I was there; no sausage, no ham or bacon, no fired rice. I ate only 2 fried eggs and 2 breads and a cup of tea. I asked 1 staff at the made-to-order station to made omelet for me but she said we don t have omelet sir ..so surprise!!!. This hotel use a small baked machine (2 pcs.of sliced bread/time) I saw one foreigner brought his own toasted..poor him. I went there only the first day. I suggest that if you don t want to be in bad mood in the morning, better to not show up to see what things going on in the restuarant. My room(deluxe 1,200/night) was not clean at all (dust on the table and shelf) with bad smell but it s ok that there are flip-flop for guest in the room. The only one good point of this hotel is located near the beach, just cross the road. I feel ashamed as I am Thai but I can t promote this hotel to anyone. For me, to face smt like this, I still can accept that just may be it was not my luck to choose this hotel in the first place but for foreigners who want to have a good vacation, and back with good memory..please choose the others recommended hotel in this website. If you want to try, let s keep waiting untill they change the owner or someone to takeover it !	This is my first time to use Sawasdee.com, quick reply, good corporation and offer cheap price than booking by myself.
Sim Hong Kiat 2008-07-18 until 2008-07-19	Phi Phi Island Cabana Hotel, Phi Phi Island, Ton Sai Beach Its just a so so place. The water pressure is low, water is salty, limited shower space. The view is good, and overall, the room size is spacious (exclude the bathroom; in which I almost fell due to the unneccessary uneven floor). The people there are friendly overall though some don t speak/understand decent english. Do not book ferry ticket from the hotel s tour counter; instead call from room or book it outside as it is cheaper.	Great!
Siriwan S 2008-07-18 until 2008-07-19	Sunshine Garden Hotel, North Pattaya Good hotel, not only good service but also clean room and good price.Even a bit far fron the beach but also ok for walking there, not to much tired.	Fast action on the result/next time will choose your perfect way again
Aim Usvisessivakul 2008-07-18 until 2008-07-19	Avatar Spa Mountain Suites, Uthaithani Very welcoming staffs. Very peaceful setting. Very fresh and clean air. Swimming pool has superb panoramic view!! One of the best ones I ve seen. The room is quite unique, simple but comfortable. It s got nice linen and all, but additional bed is not recommended for its size is well too small, and since they use sofa bed that comes with the room as an additional bed, you ll get no seating in the room. The food is of good quality but may not satisfy those who prefer more tasty flavors. The atmosphere of the resort is great for a relaxing vacation, suitable for those who like to be close to nature.
Grant Fitzpatrick 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-21	Chaophya Park Hotel, Ratchadapisek Road We have now stayed at this hotel for 5 or 6 times. The service is wonderful and the staff is very friendly. Great breakfast and a golf driving range is right behind the hotel. The pool is nice but the fitness room needs an update. Thank to everyone at the hotel and keep up the good work. GF & KB	Perfect as always
Reid 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-21	Portico 21 Hotel, near Night Bazaar This hotel is a fairly new one and should certainly be rated 4* with the quality of service it provides. The owner has lovingly decorated the place and it is very chic, with beautiful rooms (well, mine was, anyway) and a lovely lobby. The best thing is the staff - they are exceedingly polite, professional and keen to please. The service they provide is similar to what I would expect at the Four Seasons! The rooms are all no-smoking which means they smell wonderfully fresh. They are absolutely spotlessly clean with tasteful, new decor. BUT there is no elevator - and that is a nuisance - and no swimming pool. However, a small hotel down the road will offer day use of their pool for 100 baht. The breakfast is only Continental style (personally I prefer a good bacon fry-up in the morning) but it is thoughtfully served by the wonderfully attentive staff. Would thoroughly recommend staying here. It is very convenient for the old city as well as the night market
E Marks 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-21	Central Cottage, Thong Nai Pan Bay Good accom for the price - we stayed in a hut. Food pretty good and heaps of options. Had a pool as well which was a nice surprise even if it was always filled with loud kids.	Great quick and easy.
Khun Weerasak Srisuk 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-20	Karon Princess Hotel, Karon Beach I got the Deluxe Semi Seaview in the 4th flr of the new building. The room is great with nice view. The services were great also. All staffs were very nice. Truly recommend!	So comfortable, safe payment and great rate as usual.
Chew Yew Hock Robert 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-20	Casa del Mare, Hua Hin, Hua Hin I enjoyed my stay at the Casa del Mare. It s a very nice low rise hotel with good room layout and easy access to Hua Hin town. While it takes a short walk to get to the beach, the pool is a great substitute. Despite the building construction next to the hotel, noise was minimal and was not disruptive. The only challenge during my stay was to ward off the mosquitoes which were plentiful in the balcony. Bring anti-mozzie repellent.	Smooth and seamless. I got my confirmation within 24 hours after making my online reservation.
Gerard Michel 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-20	Samed Cabana Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach The room was very good. Breakfast was terrible, always cold and tasteless... That s the thing that certainly will make me consider to change Hotel next time.	Booking service with Sawatdee is always perfect.
leroy sophie 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-20	Saikaew Beach Resort, Koh Samet, Saikaew Beach the hotel service was very good, room clean and spacious ,the Saikaew beach very nice , the breakfast too; we are happy and we ll come back	perfect
Ben Coombe 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-20	Saikaew Beach Resort, Koh Samet, Saikaew Beach What a brilliant place! We stayed 4 days and didn t want to leave. The hotel staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, the standard room was beautiful and the beach is fantastic, powder white sand. There are some great restaurants,bars and even a club nearby too. Will be back soon!	Amazing as always, thanks!
George Oruoch 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-20	Unico Grande Silom Hotel, Silom Road The hotel is at a very good location, near the BTS station and not a long walk from the Patpong night market for late-night souvenir shopping. The breakfast was fantastic! The rooms seem a bit older (at least the furnishings were) and it seems a lot more renovations have gone into the lobby and restaurants. Otherwise, it worked out well for us.	Great booking site.
Eric Frederick Hutchings 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-19	Rimpao Hotel, Kalasin Hotel, pool, bars, parlours, staff and food are all good. Unfortunately the rooms are starting to wear and it shows. It is the best in Kalasin, so check out your room first and switch if it isn t up to standard	booking service is excellent, although the deposit is same value as the FULL room charge. Hence if there are any problems, you just lose your deposit. Unfortunately, it means you get NO refund.
Pawinee Nual-In 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-19	Grand Pacific Sovereign Resort & Spa, Cha Am Beach very beautiful hotel and great service	convenience and great service
MANISH MAINGI 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-19	Sunshine Hotel & Residences, Pattaya Line 2 Road the hotel is well located , maybe the new wing where we stayed is good, we booked 3 rooms facing seaview nd were offered only 2 rooms facing sea view nd 1 room was offered only standard room in the same building although charges we paid as advance were for the sea view, sea view is also an eyewash, it hardly has any view. they shud offer us the refund if they dnt gve us sea view when we paid extra for that instead when we vacated the hotel the two ladies at reception were very rude to us, one on the cash nd the other on the reception when we requested that we leave two rooms before time nd need one room till 2 pm, which they asked for 100 bhats per hour extra money nd this spoiled the whole holiday as they both were unhospitable. i think such staff who is so rude is not fit for hotel job. the manager intervened who was helpful to us. if not was the manager we wud have definately given a written compalint to the management, as both girls refused to give there name when we said we want to file a complaint in there respective names for there rude behaviour. i must tell swadde shud take this action with there managment for tanrnishing the hotel nd swadee s image. i hve planty to write but i think one incident is enough to take action by the managment. if they cant gve us the room which is booked nd paid for, they have no right to ask us for extra money for just 2 hours extra	execellent no complaints
Mana 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-19	Nusa Playa Hotel & Spa, Jomtien Beach I have a good memories to stay at Nusa Playa Hotel & Spa.	good service.
Allan Roschmann 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-19	Baiyoke Suite Hotel, Ratchaprarop Road, Pratunam Old worn out interiour, aircon needs cleaning. Perfect location for shopping, friendly staff and breakfast buffet is very good.	perfect
Arash Dehghan 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-19	Long Beach Cha-Am Hotel, Cha Am Beach We live in Bangkok and It was a nice experience for us to be away and stay at LongBeach Chaam hotel.We took a family room and it was very clean and much space for our two children to play and move around. Nice shower and comfortable beds added to our pleasure there. We hope to go there again.	Booking service was excellent and replies were all on time and quick. We will surly book our future trips with you again.
Gunilla Axelsson 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-18	Best Western Swana Bangkok Hotel, Visuttikasat Rd, Soi Samsen 6 The location was not perfect next to a road with very heavy traffic. We got a room with very disturbing noise level facing a small road with people and traffic all through the night. This should be added top the hotel presentation. The room was OK, but did not give the same feeling as the photos on the web.	Workedvery good, fast answers.
Mister A 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-18	Phi Phi Relax Beach Resort, Phi Phi Island, Phak Nam Bay Expensive for what you get. Okay this is a quiet beach, but nothing more than four walls... Electricity not before 6pm, no warm shower, breakfast not included (and very expensive!!)... This is NOT a resort... We stayed three night and they never changed the (dirty) sheets... An advice : choose this place only if you plan to stay there for sun bath. People who stayed there were very friendly by the way. Lot of French and Scandinavian travellers. They made a mistake in the check out. They ask to pay the last night twice. Be careful of your bill!
pippy 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-18	Nirvana Couture & Boutique Suites, Jomtien we love it . thank you	nice service..very good
Jackie Tobin 2008-07-16 until 2008-07-21	Havana Beach Resort, Thong Nai Pan Yai This is the nicest hotel i ever stayed in. So beautiful, great places to eat and drink and close to the full moon party by boat. The service at this hotel was outstanding!! The staff couldn t do enough. There was 7 of us staying and noone had one complaint. I would higly reccomond this hotel.	Booking couldn t have been easier and any queries i had i got a promt response by email.
Malcolm Elliott 2008-07-16 until 2008-07-21	Tohsang Khongjiam Resort and Spa, Ubon Ratchathani, Khongjiam The room was very clean and comfortable... the breakfast was good as were all meals we had there...I have read some less than complimentary comments and I as a well travelled person, this establishment was very good and for the price .. excellent. My only suggestion would be to have an egg station for breakfast rather than have pre-made omlettes, but even they were fine. I would happily stay there again...although a detailed map with distances marked on it to places like the airport would be handy since my rental car did not come with Sat Nav as not many signs had english sub titles.
Jan Moravec 2008-07-16 until 2008-07-20	Baan Chaweng Beach Resort & Spa, Chaweng Beach Very nice hotel at a perfect location - in the middle of the Chaweng beach, yet still peacefully quiet. Great swimming pool, beach and quality breakfast. Spacious, clean rooms. We wanted to stay only 1 night, but extended to a total of 7.. It is worth the price and I would definitely stay there again. Recommended.	Fast, reliable, good price. Thank you!
