PHANG NGA INN
There are not a lot of big hotel choices in Phang Nga Town so after some research we decided to stay at the Phang Nga Inn on Petchakaseam Rd which is just off the main road through the town.
Initial impressions were what a cute quaint place this is. It is an old house converted into rooms with an amazing teak staircase in the middle of the house and lots of plants everywhere.
We paid 1500baht for their family room as the other rooms were quite tiny and our room was like something from a time warp, lots of plastic flowers everywhere, little ornaments etc. The bed and pillows were extremely hard, they are up there with the hardest we have ever slept on and Wi-Fi was virtually nonexistent.
To shower you need to stand in the bath which is not very well supported it creaks, moves and flexes so you feel as though you are going to go straight through the bathtub, however there was plenty of hot water. There was also a pretty bad odor coming from the drain in the bathroom.
Breakfast was included in the price however due to being sick we did not stay for this, it also did not help that there was an overwhelming stench of petrol in the reception area which is also where you have breakfast and the parking area for motor bikes.
This place could really be beautiful if they would just fix a few little things up and update the rooms, the staff are lovely and very helpful, they could not do enough for you but for 1500baht I would not stay here again.
