Our Basic and Luxury Hotel Options in Rural Thailand

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มี.ค. 2021
  • Today we continue touring rural Thailand in the province of Rayong and begin rounding the various lakes. We visit a floating raft accommodation, listed as a hotel, but after finding it too meager for our needs, we move on to a private lakeside resort. The rooms are much better here and we enjoy a meal. Finally we end up at a luxury hotel in town which turns out to be a real gem in rural Thailand. Enjoy the Ride!

    You would have to spend at least 10-12 times that much in the UK to get anything and you would not get such a polite response if you approached strangers and asked them what they were doing. I have to say that Thailand seems to be quite a reasonable place.

    Looks like a lovely part of the province R4K I'd defo take a wander out there on a motorcycle, lakes are always good for a little bike tour. Both hotels had their merits the 500bht more than adequate for a nights stay, it's meant for locals generally I think not western tastes. But the other hotel looked pretty good value at 1500bht theyd made a good stab at 'upmarket'
    Look forward to the next installment big thumbs up from me in the UK 🇬🇧

    It's sad that people today don't have a clue how produce is grown . Pineapple is expensive usually because one plant grows 1 pineapple. Also a viewer asked in the last video, how watermelon is grown . It's a vine on the ground like cucumber , zucchini, or pumpkin. And it needs loads of water. In thailand where they have monsoons , they don't need manmade underground irrigation. Same as India. But in dry climates the farmer needs to irrigate manually , and water bills run high. That's why you pay so much more .

    1,500 baht in the middle of NO WHERE and it is the lowest season Thailand has seen in Decades ... Ah Ya, you are getting Falanged!!! Might want to try having your other half book the accommodations, besides when booking online you are setting yourself up to pay more, it simply identifies you as a tourist... The Expat adopts a local approach, they don't book over the internet... You are just setting yourself up to overpay

      Ok, I'll try it your way and vlog it. But I've done it many times that way and am quoted higher at the desk than online. I've actually gone out to the parking lot, booked on Agoda and come back in to save save hundreds. But it could go the other way round on occasion.

      @@Rides4Kickz Cool, I would suggest actually that you send your gal ahead and take care of everything... She knows you are paying too much, and in my opinion, she should have stepped forward to take care of this... I am not criticizing, I have lived there since 2002 and understand "being Falanged", Thai's trying to be clever! I am however very envious. Unfortunately, my fatass got caught in the USA on a short visit 2 weeks just before this plandemic hit. Been here ever since, sucks... I enjoy your videos keep up the good work!!! Be Back Soonly!!!
