The apartment was clean and secure, the price was very low, the gym and pool were very nice, and for us the location was good(near our son, who is living in Bangkok). However, for Americans and Europeans, I believe, there are two significant drawbacks. The bed was rock hard, even with a thin mattress pad which the owner had provided, and the air conditioning was not adequate for the April heat and humidity. After many hours, the temperature was still around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. So, those are the pluses and minuses we found.
