Lake View Bungalows in Khao Lak

Disrespectful and aggressive owner abused a local driver last month!

As part of a tourist excursion that we had joined, the local driver of our small charter minivan pulled onto the property (via an open gate) to collect some guests who were staying there. Within seconds, the Bungalows’ owner had stormed over, squared up to him, snatched his phone from his hand, and began yelling in his face - calling him “Stupid” for entering private property. (The driver was only following instructions, trying to provide a service to this man’s guest.) He punched the bonnet of the van, leaned through the window and turned off the ignition whilst all of us were inside, and refused to stop shouting in spite of our driver repeatedly stepping away and apologising for his honest mistake. It’s worth noting how the property owner was happy to speak politely with the European tourists inside the van, seeming only to hold contempt for the worker simply trying to do his job to the best of his ability at 7am. Apparently, this is not the first time this has happened. If you have the choice, please consider boycotting accommodation managed by expats who show no gratitude or respect towards locals, when there is ample opportunity to stay instead in glorious places owned by Thai people.

Talked on the phone to the owner first. He said, he recommend the room for 550 Baht. We arrived at the resort, told the wife of the owner that we would like to have a look at the 550 Baht room. She showed us the room, we said we take it for 2 nights.
5 min later,when we wanted to get the luggage, the woman arrived and said of no, now the room is 650 Baht. The 550 Baht room is not this room, it's somewhere else.

Sorry guys but this is not how you should act to your guests. Totally a no go.
