rich hotel
i thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Rich Hotel.
although it was not where i thought it would be according to the map! (this may have been my oversight!).
The hotel is positioned towards the hua hin end of things so is a good 10-15mins moped ride to cha am township. But with a tank fill being only 100Bt this was no problem at all, in fact it was great fun!.
the moped was charmingly organised for me by the wonderfully helpful reception staff who are attentive, friendly and can smile as only the Thai people can :-)
please note that there is very limited english spoken by these lovely ladies, so it does help to have a good smattering of Thai....and a fun open mind and experience at charades :-)
the rooms are airy and clean. watch out for the bathrooms because they flood wonderfully. this is contained to the bathrooms though and is seen as normal. it was not a major for me.
in short it is clean, airy, friendly (charmingly so) and offers a lovely stay.
you will not be going anywhere on foot as it is too far to walk to cha am, hua hin or the beach!! bu do remember that mopeds are fun and giveaway cheap and taxis are pretty cheap to and can negotiate.
i would recommend this hotel.
