Don’t get me wrong. This is a wonderfully, idyllic place which no photos can do justice. It is right beside a lovely stream and you’ll hear its wonderful cascading sounds. The space itself is generously sized with a large dinning room and big bedroom, all of which is well appointed with great views. What’s more you can your dinner delivered by ordering through the caretaker/cleaner. But this is also where the problem is. The owner relies on the caretaker/cleaner to run it and it’s done imperfectly. Checking in was confusing for when we arrived she had just finished cleaning and I thought she was the cleaner and someone else would formally check us in, so we waited around, but that never happened. The apartment was not mopped properly as there were obvious marks left by unclean feet beside the balcony. I cleaned it up with moist toilet paper as I wasn’t in a complaining mood. The rest of the apartment seemed clean enough though. Next there were no towels, coffee, mugs nor drinking water. So I contacted the property on the Line app (very necessary for communications in Thailand) and got a quick response. The caretaker/cleaner brought us 1 bath towel and 3 hand towels. I suppose they had run out of bath towels! She brought 2 bottles of mineral water and 2 glasses, but no coffee. I later noticed that there wasn’t a bar of soap for the hand washing basin. Luckily I had brought my own, We took the opportunity to order dinner through her and in arrived soon after 5pm as I had requested. It was delicious. We checked out just before 10am the next day. But as there was no check-in procedure, nor we were told of a check-out procedure, we simply closed all the windows and shut the door behind us. Would I return again? I think I would ... because this setting right by the stream is so captivating that I would forgive all the imperfections. But I’d bring my own coffee and maybe towels too!
