Another great stay! :-)

Review Submitted: November 27, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
I returned in Sept '09 from another thoroughly enjoyable stay at Bann Thai, this being either my fifth or sixth visit. The house was great (as ever) and so was the welcome; it really does feel like a home from home these days! The new coffee shop is great value with good quality espressos available, [just what you need before another long, tiring day on those uncrowded beaches… ;-) ]. This holiday rental is probably the best value in the Hua Hin area: 'five star' quality, very close to a great beach at very reasonable rates.

We'll definitely be going back.

Disappointing

Review Submitted: February 15, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
The villa is great and the information is accurate. However our 3 night stay was marred by a couple of issues which we felt were not dealt with satisfactorily by the manager or the owner. The villa was not clean and there were plumbing problems which we reported after our first night. The manager insisted the villa had been cleaned properly therefore infering we were wrong to complain - perhaps the villa had been cleaned after the prevous occupants some time ago, but every surface was definitely coated in thick black dust! We were also criticised for not raising the issues sooner, so our advice to future visitors is to immediately check things work like the plumbing eg shower head blocked, shower drains blocked, leaking toilet pipe, leaking kitchen sink and a sink tap which was not fixed to the sink!!! Everything got sorted by the end of the second day and we managed to negotiate a small discount with the owner. However this did not reflect the inconvenience of having to make several calls to the manager and then emails to the owner to persuade them that the issues really were a problem and the customer was right to raise them...
Owner's Response: Our villas are cleaned regularly when not being used and the day before a customer arrives by our full time cleaning staff. Our Manager checks the house thoroughly after the cleaning and she also meets and greets our guests to show them around. We have not had any previous complaints about cleanliness (in 5 years) and as can be seen from our feedback, many satisfied customers with a large number of repeat customers in recent years.

Taps, showers, toilets, etc. are all used and checked by the cleaners before a customer arrival. If something happens during your stay, our staff will address it immediately. In the case mentioned, my staff went to the house on several occasions, initially to collect payment, and was told to come back later or the next day.

As the owner of one house, I stay with my family and children regularly and can therefore guarantee that these houses are fabulous holiday homes and great value for money.

The house was large, spacious, and clean. The property is close to the beach but not so close to the city center. This property is a good choice for travelers that are staying in the Hua Hin area for a few days. Dha is great!

Review Submitted: October 26, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
We stayed as a family of four at Khao Takiab villas in July o8. We were so
impressed by the villa. We had all we needed and more. The spaciousness of the
villa was really fantastic too and it's location so close to the beach
really made it for us. Babysitting, car hire, taxi service can all be arranged
at the complex. There are some lovely restaurants on your doorstep and Hua Hin
as a holiday destination was full of fun packed things to do. We certainly will
go back and stay.

What an awesome place!

Review Submitted: September 22, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
This was my first visit to Hua Hin. My friends and I wanted to check out the area and spend a few days relaxing. The house was amazing-really spacious, clean and tastefully done. It would sleep 8 easily and I can't wait to go back there with more friends! The locals that run the restaurants at the beach are lovely; really friendly and genuine. We loved watching the sun set with a few beers every night. We then got a taxi into the town which took about 10 minutes. The town was brilliant too-full of restaurants and bars, even karaoke.
A holiday there would cater for everyones taste-horse riders, golfers, photographers who want some awesome scenery, people that want to completely chill out and those who want to party!
Khao Takiab beach has none of the pretence that some beaches in Thailand now have. It's special atmosphere draws people back year after year which is why I plan to go back soon!
Enjoy!

Baan Thai Villa, Khao Takiab beach

Review Submitted: September 21, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2007
Had a fantastic family holiday - loads to do with the kids, beautiful location, and the beach was lovely. Some great restaurants within easy reach.
The house was huge, spotlessly clean, really comfortable, with everything you could need, a real home from home - all round highly recommended!

Holiday of a lifetime

Mark, Bev and the family Chester, England
Review Submitted: September 19, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We had a fablous time in Thailand and the villas were all we could have asked for.

Unusually for travel sites/brochures, the villa and locality looked just like the pictures you can see in the holiday rentals web site. No special angles or views - what you see is what you get and it is great!!

Other details, like local attractions, were also accurate and so the teenagers were able to swim, ride, paint ball, scooter and visit incredible beaches etc whilst the 'oldies' visited temples and shops etc.

Organsing the holiday was easy. Questions were responded to quickly and the booking was done smoothly.
We got lots of help with arrival, local knowledge of shops and restaurants was shared and we had a quick tour of the villa's facilities.

My wife, not an easy lady to please, was totally delighted with the location, the rooms and the facitlites. It was clean and very well furnished. A cleaner was organised for us very inexpensively.

The teenagers liked the satellite TV but not the music [you can't please everyone Sue!!] but soon found the shops in Hua Hin and bought CDs that they liked.

Our two weeks flew by and were made even better because we met up with the owner and her family and everyone got on very well.

Lasting memories will be lounging by the lovely pool, the girls horseriding along the beach every day, extremely sore thighs from paintballing, the magnificent food and the very friendly people. [I guess the beach bar owners have missed the 'two papas' from 4 til 6 every day as the girls whizzed up and down the beach on their ponies?]

We would wholeheartedly recommend Thailand as a holiday venue. The accommodation is superb and met our needs [two adults, two teenagers, three twenty somethings] completely. Our thanks to everyone who made our holiday such a special family re-union.

We can't wait for the next time!
