Dang KY Resort

Be very wary of believing the long and glowing writeup this place has on booking sites, I saw none of it true once there, and there is nothing you can do about it. It is on a desolate stretch of the highway and even with a motorcycle it was a 25 minute drive from town. Most of that writeup is very exaggerated, from the amenities, the property grounds, the locations and especially the services. When I arrived I asked to order food (midday), an older woman gave me a menu but with each selection told that they could not make it. So I took macaroni as that was all they would do. Fine, it was food. Next evening (7pm) I went to the front desk and found that woman again (no one in restaurant). When I held up the menu she put her arms in an "X" in front of her chest and began stabbing her finger in the air in the direction of the highway. I was shocked and devastated that I was being sent as a woman alone to go ride that freeway with trucks and cars in the pitch black to find a way of feeding myself for the night, with only one taillight on a motorcycle for those vehicles to see me. As it stands, it is kilometers down before there is any food sources. And if you think it is difficult to find this accommodation during the day (and it is, it is on a tiny alley, no markings), try finding your way back to your room in pitch black. When you advertise yourself as a resort, live up to what you write the services you offer. When I checked in they should have provided me information of how to eat while there for two days. Even a written page would have been helpful as not being from that area, not even being from that country, you cannot read any obvious signage or know their ways. How much effort would it have taken to let a guest know something of that importance prior to them needing that service? The woman on the front desk made zero effort to assist me, to explain or find someone who COULD explain and help me. but she made it clear she was frustrated with me. When I had walked up she was eating a plate of food she had at the desk. Her needs were served, mine were irrelevant. Just to point out: When I checked out, my next accommodation was in Prachuap Khiri Khan area, and it was the polar opposite. They were extremely friendly, smiling, helpful, brought me some fresh cut mango off a tree in their yard, and they did not speak a word of my language, nor I theirs. THAT is accommodation at its best, and THAT is why I travel. For those experiences of mutual kindness.

Very cute property just offf the main highway between Hua Hin and Cha-am. Twelve beautiful teak bungalows built around a chill little cafe (September 2) with koi pond and water features. Very quiet. Thailand still recovering tourist traffic after the pandemic lock down. I work digitally so I appreciated the peaceful retreat. Great restaurant next door, Nawang Steak. Huge menu with great food. It’s easy to use the Grab app for runs into Hua Hin night market or into Cha-am.
