Decline of C&N?

I have stayed at the C&N a number of times now, and up until now the staff and service has been good if not great at all times. But has the 'secret' got out too far?

On this trip the staff has been as good as ever, but is the people staying there on the downward slide? Like any hotel that caters for who it caters for, you expect to be woken by the odd (drunken) idiot or bed hitting the wall for the reasons you'd expect. But when its a continues stream of morons shouting repeatadly outside your room all night long, or your door being smacked by passing fools night after night. Then their were the degenerates who decide to climb on to your balcony and bang on the window, until the tg your with crys and refuses to stay.

It seems to be 2 nationalites responsible, and the staff have been as useful as they can (Kicking 2 people out that I know off!).

So when does a good hotel become bad due to the peple staying there?????

I think you have just being very unfortunate mate, You cant stop assholes like that booking into any hotel not just C&N, How are they to know they are like that?

All they can do is try and sort the problem out after they find out, Like they tried to do when they tossed the 2 idiots out, I will be staying there again at the end of the month and let you know if its the same for me.....

Hi Sishow,
Sad to hear that your holiday is being spoiled by dropkicks. Hopefully this is just a one off, but more than likely not.
I assume that you will be staying elsewhere next time?

Actually I've heard quite a lot of people say that the class of people in Phuket at the moment is lower than normal.

Interesting statement Benjy. What did these people say and how do you recognise class! Be interesting to find out.

They obviously have some money behind them as I am guessing they may be of Western Europe, the Antipodes or North American and getting to the LOS isn't cheap from any of those places!

Have the Chavs (is that right? been out of the UK too long!) finally arrived in Patong?

Mainly a touch more Yobbos and Backpackers than normal I think - A little bit more like Pattaya, than normal.

God I hated Pattaya, There for 3 days and saw 2 farang fights and a Thai guy stabbed by a gang in the middle of the day in front of a bunch of kids.

When I was in LOS this november we ran into some other Danish people that were just total beanheads. Their behaviour towards other guests and Thai people and girls was just horrible.. I remember telling the girl I was with that I was sorry that those people were Danish and that not all of us were ****** like them.

Other than that I really didnt experience anything bad but it just pisses me off when people travel to a foreign country as tourist and then just behave as they own the place. I have always tried to follow the customs of the people in the country I am visiting and I always try to behave as it reflects back on all other danish tourists if you are an ***hole..

"When in Rome do as the Romans" is a good way to think if you ask me.

This is why we come to Thailand , to try and escape the all-inclusive drink as much as you can brigade on a cheap package. If they want that they should go to greece or spain. Ive been on one of those packages before, its a nightmare, never again I would stop at home first.

If Thailand was only a 2-3 hour flight from the UK, I cant imagine how bad it would become.

This is one reason why I'd never tell anyone where my hotel is, because if I've found a good nice place to stay I want to keep it that way!

Could it be the work of the supernatural?? heard there were several sightings after dec 26 last year....
stayed there on my very first trip to los few yrs back, like it alot.. everything went well, staff was friendly and helpful...
but my wife freak out after she heard of the sightings coz every now and then she will tell me every now and then ..."I SEE DEAD PEOPLE" (maybe can start a new thread on the supernatural in los)
anyway, i will be heading down to patong and staying at C&N Spa at the end of the month after spending my first Christmas in bangkok.... with my wife of coz... 555555
