| D. & I. McM. from Khanom Beach travelled in February 2008 to Khao Lak and were full of praise for The Sandy House: | ||
| Hello R. and U.: I just want to say 'thanks' for the excellent website and all the research you have put in to it. Strangely, I am completely out of date with the place. Even though I am living in Thailand for 12 years. As - I have not visited Khao Lak since 1998. Last week, I needed to travel from my home at Khanom Beach, and stay overnight, to work at a wedding. I needed to book a cheap, clean room for one night. Amazingly, none of the conventional travellers site were of any help, in the price range I was looking in. But your website and descriptions were great. I found Sandy House, very close to the Ramada, where my wedding was being held. The room was clean, smelled clean too !! It had twin beds, and air con, which I didn't need, a basic but roomy bathroom, and nice big fluffy bath towels.... and friendly UK owner Michael, his wife, Nok, and his large Thai family - were all very friendly. Price, no breakfast, 800 THB. That was for a single occupancy. Incidentally, I was able to book with them via email/online, the day before I travelled there. In high season, I would recommend phoning in your reservation, as their prices are very competitive. D. & I. McM. |

| Our Swedish guests M. and E. E. were on Ko Kho Khao in Amandara Island Resort and write about the Pros and Cons: | ||
| Hello R.! Back in Sweden to the the storms and rain. We had a wonderful time in Kho Kho Khao. The hotel was very nice and we got a seafront bungalow. The place was very quiet and peaceful and its a perfect place for relaxation for 5-6 days. But if one want to stay a little longer it might be better to change place because the lack of other things to do in the area. We made a motorbike trip around the island one afternoon and took a day trip to Surin Island which was really great. Much better snorkelling than Similan Island. Also the fact that there where no other restaurants nearby the hotel was not that good. The prices in the hotel restaurant was twice the price at Bang Niang Beach and sometimes only half as good. The sand flies we really didnt have any problem with. We did as You advised us, stayed up in the grass area or in the upper sand area. But that wasnt any bother to us because the shadow was in these areas, so we would have stayed there anyway. But the mosquitoes in the evenings were quite heavy. Kind regards M. and E. E. |

| F. & N. S. from Sweden were in New Sita Garden in January 2006 and wrote to us under the title "A dream ??": | ||
| Hello R.! Its amazing how quickly you get back to a "normal life". Right now with snowstorms and -10 it just seems that Khao Lak and our trip to Thailand was just a LOVELY dream, its that why you call it "dreambeach"?? Anyhow we will have to live with this lovely dream for quite a while untill it will be possible to start planning for our next dream...Thank you so much for taking care of us in a fantastic way. It was so nice to get to know you, Ann and little Lisa of course. Say hello to them for me. F. and N. |
