Hinsuay Namsai Resort Hotel

April 16, 2010

For Songkran, I decided to get out of Bangkok to a more quiet place, so I chose to go Rayong for the few days during Songkran, here’s a review of my hotel there.

Hinsuay Namsai Resort Hotel
“The best for anyone who really loves to spend their unlimited imagination with hillside nature and the sea”
Open 24hours/day
website: http://www.hinsuaynamsaihotel.com
Call: 0-3863-8260-5
Address: Hinsuay-Namsai Resort Hotel, 250 Moo 2, Sakpong District, Klang, Rayong 21190, Thailand

Hinsuay

The Rooms: The room I had at Hinsuay Namsai was very big, and had a very big balcony, a little table and chairs, a desk and a minibar with drinks. The bathroom was big too, the water wouldn’t get hot at times, but otherwise I think the room was a good value, except for the fact that there was no internet in room, that is a huge downfall for me (internet in hotel lobby only). And it was nice when we 1st walked into the room they had the aircon blased already, and it is very powerful, great for when it’s really hot in Thailand. The tv channels only have Thai language stations, so it’s very difficult for those who cannot speak Thai to enjoy watching tv, but then again, at a nice resort why spend time indoors watching tv anyways, right!?! hehe. In Chomsamed building rooms range from 1600 – 3000 baht. In the Plernpim building rooms range from 1900 – 12000 baht per night
The Menu:
What I Ate: Kua Kling Moo was very delicious, and so was the namprik kapi
The Staff: The hotel staff was very nice and friendly, they brought the 2 prong adapter to my room when I needed it, they worked on fixing the wifi internet in lobby when it was down, and assured me it’d be fixed soon. Also, the old man at the fitness center/sauna area was very nice and helpful.
The Facilities: There are 2 massive swimming pools, they are perfect if you enjoy taking a swim. The sauna was nice, and there is a staff member to assist you with it, cost is 50 baht per person per use. The fitness center is ok, it’s outside and it has just the basic gym stations. There are 2 snooker tables. There is a buffet restaurant every night for 500 baht per person, many great thai cuisine. There is also a free buffet every morning too. Taruer Tangkae restaurant has Chinese, Thai and European foods.
The Bathrooms: all were clean and nice

Conclusion: In conclusion, for approx 2000 baht per night, I think Hinsuay Namsai Resort was a great value and I will be staying here again for any future trips to Rayong

Extras: Free wifi in lobby. Free breakfast buffet for 2 people per room.

Thailand censorship

April 13, 2010

This website has been blocked by ICT, Ministry of Information and Communication Technology

I went to a site today, and found this, I still think Thailand is pretty lame when it comes to their internet rules, they are still censoring things, it’s so old fashioned 🙁 I hope someday there is more online freedom in the great Kingdom of Thailand 🙂

Happy Songkran Festival Thailand!!!

April 12, 2010

I hope despite having the Bangkok Red Shirts situation going on, that you will still all enjoy your Songkran Festival here in Thailand. From driving around Bangkok in a bus heading towards Rayong, I see the fun and water play is still running strong!

I will be spending my Songkran holiday in Rayong, my first time here and it seems nice.

I will post my pictures and information afterwards

Where are you going for Songkran? What will you be doing? Staying in the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, or planning to get away? Please comment or send in your experiences, pictures, information, we’d love to hear from you and post your knowledge 🙂

Airlines in Thailand

April 11, 2010

Here is a list of Airlines in Thailand.

Air Asia I have flown with Air Asia many times, I’ve been robbed by them once in 2008, they double charged me for 4 round trip flights from Bkk – Phuket, but since then they have been fine for me, they cancelled my Udon to BKK flight last month and refunded me, but I had to argue with them to get the refund. Beware, this is a super budget airline, so they will squeeze every penny out of you in other areas.

Thai Air Thai Air is a little bit more expensive airline in Thailand but they have MUCH better service in every area than all the other airlines. They are usually very flexible about changing flights which is really nice.
