Rayong Lanna Hotel 

Time for an update, since I reviewed the hotel a few years ago. The pandemic curtailed a lot of travel, so it's been a while since we were here. They closed during the pandemic, but used that time to do a lot of upgrades and remodeling. There is all new tile throughout, and very attractive tile at that; my wife is considering replacing the tile in our house with what's in the hotel. The beds, or at least the mattresses, are also new and quite comfortable. On this stay we were also given a suite that was almost the size of my condo back in the US, and at a great price that included breakfast. You order breakfast the night before from the brief menu, which I imagine they do so as to predict how much they need the following morning and not have food go to waste. The staff here is, as they were before, very friendly and professional, and work hard to make sure your have a comfortable stay. The day manager/assistant manager Mr. B is a terrific host, and speaks excellent English. When we were checking out, he made sure to be around so he could personally thank us for staying, and we very much appreciated him doing this. Although you will see some some foreign guests (probably avoiding the madness of Pattaya), it does seem to cater more to Thai customers; all of the television channels are Thai. However, if you're spending your time in Thailand watching television, you're missing the whole point of being there. All in all, another excellent stay, and we will definitely be back.
