Lol no not really...we decided on this hotel as a treat for ourselves after long flights from Canada.....we are your average retired couple from PEI. Not extravagant at all. But not looking for cheap $12 a night either. We have travelled extensively but first time in Thailand
we fly into Bangkok and staying a week...get over jet lag etc. Not interested in Pattaya. We were just concered where to spend Christmas and New Year and how quickly things getting booked up. We were going to go to Hua Hin after Chang Mai but some comments don't seem favourable. will certainly research Chang Rai etc as you suggest. Are you in Chang Mai?
thanks...just looking to explore....we like visiting historic sites, markets, restaurants etc just getting the flavour of Thailand. Would also like a few weeks just chillin at beach...thinking of going to Krabi and Koi Sumoi. Not sure now about Hua Hin re above comments.
