Cheap place but worst service in Asia particularly at reception and in the restaurant. Wanting to avoid Bangkok I bought a ticket to Koh Pangan from them. I paid 140 to bkk and 740 from there to Pangan, just to find out on the same bus that most of the people paid around 450/550 baths from bkk to phangan... not... More
