Haute Thai-modern lux
we drove from phucket without reserving a room and arrived in ao nang and wanted something more quiet and relaxed. the local thais suggested klong muang, about 20 minutes away. we passed the sofitel and sheraton and found the elements at road's end, across from the beach. perfect for us. new, well maintained, architecturally lovely and much more reasonably priced than the aforementioned hotels. the pleasant receptionist suggested that we would obtain a better rate booking through agoda and allowed us to stay in the villa that we chose prior to receiving the agoda voucher which took about an hours time to arrive.
we had dinner at the hotel. menu included thai and western/european food. the thai seafood was tasty, well prepared and no more expensive than the local eateries. breakfast buffet was included and the chef was happy to make me a special-order thai omelet. coffee was fresh brewed rather than the usual nescafe or espresso concentrate found elsewhere in thailand.
khun rattanak, the manager was very helpful in assisting with our recreation plans including the free use of kayaks and hotel towels, bottled water etc. at the beach.
