Honey Inn

7 December 2009. The Honey Inn guest house is as close as any to Opportunity Village. It is a bit more isolated from downtown, being on the other side of the main road. Unlike Ruan Nang Rong, also in this side of the main road, you are more likely to see Farang guests at the honey inn, and there appears alway to be a staff member on duty who speaks some English. It is a little more like a guest house and a little less like a motel than Ruan Nang Rong.

It is at 8/1 soi sri koon. It is north from the Nang Rong bus station to the other side of highway 24 and then right (east) past the PTT gas station. You should see their sign soon after this.

Rooms appear pleasant and clean. Until recently three meals were served each day to the guests, but recently (6 Dec 09) only breakfast is served. Rooms are 200 to 250 baht depending on size and if they have air. Four of the ten rooms have air and six are fan. They have some 150 baht rooms with shared bathroom. I saw no TV's or refrigerators in the rooms. Cold drinks are available.

A plus at Honey Inn is motorbike rentals. Motorbike rental is 250 baht per day (6AM - 6PM). Wear a helmet if you don’t want trouble with the Nang Rong police (or possibly your head!). (66) 44 622 825 Mobile: (66) 1 075 9972. honey_inn_thai@hotmail.com. Their website is honeyinn.com.

It is easy to see why Thailand has long been a major vacation place for the entire world. The people here are friendly in a way that is in marked contrast to other destinations in Asia, and it gets even better outside of Bangkok and the major tourist areas.
