Baan Thai Resort

Old style. Walls are paper thin, solid teak, creaky floors. We were kept awake all night by rats in the ceiling ab walls, rooster farm next door. There is no wifi in rooms, despite having a 10 on trip advisor. We're only too happy to move rooms to another one with no wifi, kinda funny really. Breakfast is basic and a set menu. Not far from city.

It's a cool looking place, and it's age/architecture is a charm but unfortunately it rubs off fairy quickly.
We only came back to the room to sleep when we had to.
We stayed in a double room-all brown wood in their photos on booking-but their photos make something that is in reality very old and dark appear quaint.
The beds are rock hard and lumpy, not pleasant.
The fridge is very old and not really clean, and it switches off when you leave the room.
The main light just hangs off its wires through a hole broken in the ceiling, with several attempts at wiring it on display.
The bathroom looks like something out of saw 2 and utterly REEKS of drains/sewer if you run a tap or flush.
Really unpleasant.
Its all a bit old and stained, the fan doesn't work, the shower is a weak affair, the pipes for the bathroom in general snake around the room and all leak a bit.
The old pipe-work is just left sticking out of the walls.
And again the smell....is very bad.
The pool is nice but the dogs swim in it and most deck chairs are a bit broken so mind they don't pinch you.
The front bar is a hang-out spot for the locals which is sound and all but it's not very in keeping with the idea of a peaceful 'resort' if you're a light sleeper.
Its 2-3 kilometer walk from the old city.
Not what you'd expect given the price pictures and description.
