    What a great review, many thanks! Smile house is on our shortlist for a December holiday but we haven’t stayed there since 2012 so was really grateful for this recent review of the rooms.

      Looking at their website it looks like the rooms with the spa bath might be the most recently refurbished?

      I emailed Smile House and they told me that the Grand deluxe villas are the most recently refurbished, not sure how long ago though.

    We have never travelled to Asia and we’d be interested in any thoughts you have on street food: what to look out for and what to be careful about.

    • @PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel
      @PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel  8 місяців тому +1

      Depends on your taste, best tip is where do the locals go and which has a queue!

    What a lovely place. I actually prefer the cheaper room.

    • @PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel
      @PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel  9 місяців тому +1

      Yes it’s only the location that lets it down, but only a 5 minute walk so nothing worth worrying about.

    • @joannedelaney3866
      @joannedelaney3866 9 місяців тому

      That’s a good compromise, also, often , being at the back of the resort may make it a little quieter, for those that prefer to be set back away from the action. . . In this case I think it looked like the resort it may be a little more “tranquil” than some?

      Toilets in Thailand aren't designed to cope with toilet paper because of the size pipes used. Nothing has changed in the 34 years I have been coming to Thailand. Having to unblock a toilet is a disgusting job that even a westerner would baulk at yet those who persist in flushing away paper don't stop and consider the person ( often a cleaning lady) who has to stick their arm into the S bend.

    Did you fly in from Bangkok or straight to the local airport?

    • @PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel
      @PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel  9 місяців тому

      There are no direct flights to Koh Samui as the airport is to small for bigger planes to land!
