It's a fair question in this land of corruption and nepotism. As someone giving his guests free accommodation for a month, LIK is quite entitled to ask the question without some dick calling him bitter and cynical! Is the Patong Bay Inn part of the stable of Patong Bay hotels owned by the family? Edited April 6, 2020 by Old Croc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note, the prices being charged are quite reasonable. Not sure why Koh Siray is so popular though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunPer Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 650 baht for one person, or 800 baht for two, including full board, i.e. three meals a day, sounds amazingly cheap; wow...???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
