    Anantara Resort - Hua Hin

    Just spent the weekend here. Nice place, but keep in mind that they'll charge B216 per 15 minutes internet time:



    you'll meet this bugger on arrival!






    I tried to fill the bath, but I don't think it can be done!














    Very Chinese

    The cost of connecting to the internet is a rip-off everywhere whenever there is a charge.

    Last time I was in Hua Hin I stayed at the Baan Duangkaew resort, about 3k south of the town. A few minutes walk to the beach, with just 20 Thai style "detached" rooms around two good pools and free 24 hour intenet connection in each room, just need your own laptop, or else there was a couple of PC's available near the office. With a brekky thrown in, it came to about 2.2k baht per night.

    Excellent value. There's a link on this site somewhere, but couldn't find it.

    How the other half live eh.

    For the more impecunious amongst us The Peony is opposite the Sofitel and was giving 1000B off-season, mid week rate a couple of weeks ago.

    Nice of you to drop in while you were down William .

    Hey genius, the local rate from agents is not the same as the Internet or those quoted in USD. But you wouldn't know that anyhow

    walk in rate is usually lower than agents..
    Agents can basically charge what ever they like..once the resort gets it's contracted price.
    and always get your thai wife/ gf to book the room you will be charged less.

    The rates I quoted were from their own web site.

    Can't read yet, you English dog ?

    In PHP code for you: $Internet_rate != $local_rate || $USD != $local_rate

    The Montien in Pattaya does a better internet rate than walk in rate, my mate went down there to book a suite for a friend of his, 23,000baht per night they said, he told them the internet rate was 18k per night, in the end he had to come back to Jomtien and book it on the internet, they wouldn't let him book it on their computers though, funny lot the Thais.

    yeah, some hotels are doing that for walk-in, same with the Amari Pattaya

    But any local agents in Bangkok usually can beat those Internet rates, with a few exceptions of course.
