Thipurai Beach Hotel

I returned here for several reasons including low price, central location to my needs, friendly staff, good size room with balcony and simple but adequate buffet breakfast for $200 baht ($6.25 US). My only criticism would be the instant coffee. I'm pretty sure when I was here my last visit, March, there was real ground coffee. This being low-season, perhaps it's too slow to brew a large amount. I understand this but I still loath instant coffee. Other than that the food was fresh and delicious; especially the fried potatoes with saute'd onions and the green curry with chicken; delicious. Lunch & dinner are offered here also. The chef does a really nice job. The hotel is on the small side with limited rooms which I like. I requested a room on the highest floor (6) and I received it. My room was very quiet in the evening for sleeping; It was only randomly noisy in the day with families with young children, coming in going: not a problem. The hotel is a short 10 min walk to Market Village (Mall) which is an amazing mall you should check out. The first floor has massive "street food" type stalls at "street food" prices. Eat a lot for very little baht. The top floor has a Cinema with the biggest games area for children I have ever seen. The night marked, open every night except Tuesday, is a short 15 min walk; use the bridge crossovers; crossing the road is extremely dangerous here. The beach is a five minute walk. Its beautiful and very long. It also has sand fleas. Wash off.

This hotel was just great. Staff were so very helpful spoke good English which did help st times. Alwsys courteous couldnt do enough. Great location close to beach family mart restaurants and shopping centres . Would definitely stay here again. breakfast was fab with good choice.
