Pakmeng Resort

The hotel is far from the center of Pak Meng. There are no scooter rentals and the bicycles are not functional.

“Quiet place.Okay for a couple of nights.”

There were many different rooms to choose from. Our room was large, simple, and comfortable—basic but fine. It was right opposite the pool, which was lovely and surrounded by trees in a nice setting. Breakfast changed every other day: one day a set breakfast with a choice of western or Thai, and the next day a Thai buffet style. Two large pet tortoises roam the garden, which is a nice addition. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The plastic pool is strange but a good size and certainly refreshing. The hotel’s location makes it a bit remote if you don’t have a car, which we didn’t, so the nearest place to eat, have coffee, or get a cold drink is a good 1.5 km away. That’s fine during the day but not a walk you’d want to do at night on a very dark road that cars just zoom down. In the other direction, further away, is the Dugong resort. We walked there, a good 30 min walk, but they have a Tuk Tuk of sorts that can drive you back to your hotel for a fee, so we went there to eat one night. Pakmeng Resort seems to be a busy hotel and it would do them no harm to get a Tuk Tuk service to drive people to and from the hotel. Initially it was eerily quiet for the first night or so, but then when we left, the entire place had been taken over by a conference booking. It seems to be a place either for Thai family holidays or conferences. The sea is ridiculously warm—too warm. But the pool was very refreshing. There was no kettle in the room, which was unlike every other hotel we had stayed in, in Thailand, but a very obliging staff member gave us one to keep in there without being asked. You have to buy your own tea, coffee, etc. We were in a twin room. There was only one bedside light, and that was literally glued onto the bedside table! There was no light for the other bed.

The property is not far from the beach, but it is old. The bed was not clean or comfortable, and there were too many lizards.

The atmosphere is good, the staff are polite and cute.

“Horriblement sale”

The staff’s kindness when we explained that we couldn’t stay there because it was so dirty was appreciated, and they agreed to refund us in full even though a penalty was normally due. The place was filthy: we’ve never seen such a dirty place—lizard droppings everywhere, a trash bin in the bathroom, shower drainage, disgusting faucets and fridge, a toilet paper holder that barely held and was also dirty… in short, it was unimaginable for us to stay there even for one night. Even when closed, there was a 2 cm gap at the front door, letting all kinds of critters in. The pool water was green and so murky you couldn’t see through it (we had chosen this place partly because it offered a pool). It was a 20‑minute walk to the nearest restaurants and shops, along a road with no lighting. A real disappointment, and I would not recommend it to anyone.
