Find the Cheap Thai Mueang Hotels

Moved from our big expensive hotel to TuaProd Home because it was so much cheaper, a short drive to the pier for diving, and we are pretty happy with just a room to sleep in as we are seldom hanging around a resort. We've been travelling Thailand now for 6 months staying all sorts of accomodation from empty resorts to Bkk hotels to more basic 700 baht-or-less rooms for a night or two. Tuaprod is **easily** the best we have stayed at in that last category. We got it a bit cheaper than advertised without breakfast (we are out early each morning). Don't be put off by the low price - the little cabin is comfortable, quiet, has a nice bathroom with everything actually working (a rarity in Thailand), has nice quiet aircon (another rarity in Thailand), has a super comfy bed, is bug and mosquito-free in the room, and is situated in a lovely garden/palm plantation down a 200m driveway from the main road. There are no barking soi dogs at night, and no annoying rooster(s) in the morning, which is unbelievable really. Also nice is that sitting here on the patio in the 'bush' really reminds me of what Thailand was like 25 years ago, when most accomdation was a hut of some sort in the greenery. It just feels very authentic Thailand. I love it! Highly rated. We'll definately come stay here again.

The owner is very cute, the house is beautiful, nice to live in, and it's very big. Great value.

Our stay was such a blast that we decided to come back in the end of our trip. Everything is just perfect, starting from the gorgeous staff to the modern, luxurious rooms and the delicious food. The manager of this amazing place really has a deep understanding of hospitality and comfort. This was the most memorable place we stayed in during our trip, absolutely worth to stay in!

Conveniently located, first line, at the same time there are many cafes, massage parlours and other things around. The hotel itself is not bad, the rooms are comfortable for a family (a large bed and a bunk bed). Upon arrival, the air conditioner was malfunctioning, they repaired it during the daytime sleep, but from the outside. The hotel restaurant is very expensive, both in terms of food and drinks. But there are plenty of other places at the exit and on the beach. Cleaning, as usual in Thailand, is superficial; the terrace had to be constantly swept. The beach is comfortable, of course they take up sunbeds, but in moderation. The pools are good and you can catch a view of the sunset from them.

Our stay at Merlin Khao Lak was pretty great. We had a week there, and sincerely enjoyed the feeling of staying in a contained and nicely taken care of rain forest by the beach. The location was nearly perfect, but the beach itself wasn't very swimmable (beginning of rain season, to be fair). Fortunately, there were other beaches on the same coast that were nicer during the same time of year, so we did get time in the sea water. Even without sea swimming, the ambience from the waves and the sunsets made the beach plenty nice for us at Merlin. There is also a variety of nicepy kept pools to enjoy, though I typically don't enjoy pools personally. Service/food were both nice as well. The staff was pleasant enough, but it did feel weird that an ecologically minded resort had the least meat/dairy alternatives of any of the several resorts/hotels we stayed at. I found ordering curries with no seafood or meat simple though, and they were mostly still good. The massaman curry was a miss, but everything else I tried was quite good for resort food! We really loved the touch of the room's default tv channel being an info channel about the resort's wildlife and maintenance. That, plus the several info booklets allowed us to have a more guided and knowledgeable experience while sightseeing on the exceptional grounds. It was really fun running into others who were also just having a look around and waiting to see a different animal pop up. We enjoyed our stay. Next time we'd likely come back, while also spending some time up the coast a bit.

we came here from phi phi to a beach bungalow so i was expecting something very beautiful. we checked in and a buggy took us to our bungalow, however the bungalow was fine on first glances., lovely outdoor shower, it was a big room bed was on like a wooden platform so we found it difficult to get on and off we are both in our 60s. view was lovely over the pool to the sea. the bungalow outside was a bit tired could do with some TLC the grounds to the resort were full of leaves no one seemed to bother cleaning them up. breakfast was just carnage if you wanted noodles etc not a problem but anything remotely English all the hot plates were empty first morning we couldn't even get a table so we abandoned it, second morning we went a bit earlier 8.30 and we did manage to sit down but no hot food so we got toast and boiled egg but these wasn't cooked properly so just left tried to speak to someone about it but not enough staff so didn't bother with breakfast again. there seems to be a few new buildings to this hotel so maybe they have more rooms than there is dining tables. we were only here for 4 nights so it wasn't really an issue for us we just went to one of the beach shacks. outside the hotel was lots of eating and shops very well located so always ate out. around the pool there is a culture where everyone puts towels on beds at 6.30-7 am so by 8 am no beds left this is a pet hate of mine that's why we don't holiday in Europe so i was furious when i saw this. we did end up in a row first morning over the beds but the pool guy sorted it for us. all in all we enjoyed our time in Khaolak but on reflection we would not use this hotel again it just didn't suit us

We booked this 5 star resort and had a 3 star experience.pros and cons. Pros The staff were lovely, Nam and Yada were very friendly and looked after us very well in the Beach Bar restaurant. The A la Carte menu was large and the food was excellent. Smoothies were lovely and the wine was reasonable. In hindsight though I wish we had booked half board or bed and breakfast. Plenty of staff on reception. Great aircon Cons: All inclusive didn’t mean everything was all inclusive. Room service, the Japanese restaurant (the nearest bar to beach) and the drinks sold on the hotel beach were not included. Kids in the gym!!!!! Health and safety issues re the pool Not enough sun beds and no amenities on the lovely beach Limited draw space in the room, poor lighting in bathroom Too many unruly kids in the evening in the restaurant and hotel management invisible. I am still waiting for Tui and Kalima to respond to my complaint ref no 12244212 Tips Just book bed and breakfast, use as a base. Walk 10 minutes to the left down to the beach and spend your money with Farmai and Lanna. Local people with hearts of gold! Only book a week and move to a different location for your second week.

First time to Khao Lak. Only 1 hour car from Phuket Airport. The hotel has private beach, spa & massage , cafe, restaurant and bar. Nice and big public pool (some suite come with private pool). This place not crowded as in Phuket city . Suit for Solo, Family and with buddies . Hotel staff are very friendly and warm to be here. Especially thanks to staff named Kig & Praew ! 👍🏻

ชอบมากกก สงบ บริการดีสุดๆเลยค่ะ
