Baan Talay - Thungwualaen in Pathiu

We've stayed in hundreds of hotels all over the world and this one ranks up their with the worst.

We stayed in Room 205 at the back of the building and by evening the bathroom smelled very strongly of raw sewage, the smell was so bad we thought about checking out during the night but as we had nowhere to stay we pushed on.

In the morning out car was blocked in by another guest who decided to double park, so we couldn't leave until the car was moved.

The hotel is old and run down, don't believe the reviews giving this place a high score as it is not deserved.

The room was dated, there is an old lounge which looks disgusting covered in stains and the hotel is full of mosquitos, why is there and old PC on the desk, who would even use it.

Smart tv was in the room, but the wifi was so poor (it could barely stream a 240p YouTube video), it was unusable and didn't seem to have any channels due to no antenna.

While I love travel in Thailand and there are some amazing places, this isn't one, the whole beach is polluted with tonnes of plastic waste, which is sad, the shops and restaurants are run down and don't look clean.

Not only would I recommend you don't stay at this hotel, but avail the whole area,

This place is way over priced for the quality offered, considering the sewage issue in the bathroom, it shouldn't be taking guests.
