    Every room at The Hotel is different. There are many that are larger. This was one of the least expensive. Check with guest services for a bigger room. The staff would happily accommodate you I am certain. I worked there for a time and it was an extremely positive experience. Beautiful place.

Growing up and reading American comics full of references and ads for Hostess Twinkies means I have a weird fascination with them.

    We’ve bought 3 brand new pool villas in Hua Hin into our Thai company during Covid when prices were way down! I’m married to a Thai for the past 15 years who’s also a U.S. citizen. We have a Thai American child. We run all rents through our company and have another business my wife runs in it and no nominee shareholders. That’s illegal. She owns 51% and I own 49%. I personally own the houses on the land and have a yellow book for them, and am the only director and manager. Really was quite easy. Slowly divesting my U.S. property holdings to buy here and other places where there are great opportunities around SE Asia. I’m a lawyer so the first thing I did was hire a lawyer here I’ve known for many years to handle the transaction. Do not get into any kind of property transaction here without a reputable lawyer. Most are - some are not. Get a recommendation.

    Totally agree, it was a disappointment. I learned only that the McCloud family were not good people, but they never really shared the life of an enslaved person on the day to day. No furniture, no tour of where the house slaves lived in the attic, or what one of the cabins looked like when they lived there, no sense of what they went through, except as a whole in the fields. Nothing about what food they ate or any personal stories about any of them. Like they didn't exist as a person but as a group. That and the fact that what they are showing us is pretty much a lie the McCloud family created to romanticize the plantation. Really disappointed. Not worth the visit. I learned nothing.

      @@KhakiShorts I was told, and I think you would know better, that if you own just 1 property you are not subject to annual property tax. If you own more than 1 property, the property tax applies to you. Indeed, the current property tax is low, maybe to get the government representatives to agree to the law, but after maybe 10 years, the property tax could increase by 10 time - to THB 15,000 in your case as an example. Anyway, just wonder if you know if the property tax does not apply if you only own 1 property - thank you.

      We’re happy with Panwa, it’s outside the tourist areas but close enough to Phuket Town, restaurants, shopping, etc. but quiet. 2 bedroom units here are renting for 40-50,000 baht a month and 3 bedrooms are asking 75,000. These units are big compared to most condos here (unless they’re luxury). We’ve seen studio apartments on the west coast (tourist side) rent for 20-25,000 a month and they’re tiny. Price here fluctuates greatly depending on size and location (mostly location). Try searching FazWaz online, will give you better ideas of rents prices all over the island.
