Guest Book: 'Firstly let me say thanks for using your lovely home. We had a great time, best holiday I've had in a while - the truck made all the differance. Secondly, we would like to book again for next year for 3 weeks over Christmas and New year if possible' Stuart Ayres 2005 'The location is also fantastic - a couple of minutes walk from the Sukhumvit Road giving easy access into town for the princely sum of 10 baht, easy walking distance from the beach and enough small shops around to quickly and easily stock up on essentials. I'd highly recommend the villa to anyone staying in the area.' Tommy Mitchell 2006 'We liked it so much we are going again this year and at Christmas and we will definitely recommend this place to anyone who would like a laid back holiday without the breakfast buffet queues and the impersonal hotel but with all the convenience of someone popping in to clear up and help.'
