travelbound Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Greetings, This is my first post and would really appreciate some inside info. My wife and I are heading to Thailand soon and I was hopeing to get could some reccomendations on British or Aussi owned hotels in Patong, Karon and Kata. My wife is British and then moved to Australia. Her family thinks that all the trouble on TV will effect us ( to single people you have no idea that you can't win against the inlaws ). She said she feel more comfortable with some of her countrymen. I just want my mother-in-law to shut up. Any hotels that are Brit or Aussie owned/managed I would really appreciate. No really worried about cost. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Nicky's handlebar is Australian, Kata Beach Center hotel is South African. I don't think any of the chains is British or Australian? Maybe somebody else has some other suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 If you want a hotel rather than a guesthouse, Kelly's in Patong is Aussie-owned, but if you want a quieter place you could try Villareal Heights in Kata where I know Phil, Englishman and rugby fanatic, takes really good care of his guests. Both have great Tripadvisor rankings. There are plenty of British and Aussie run guesthouses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chantal Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) Yes, Nicky is a Thai man. Otherwise Travelbound check out this newly opened Guesthouse in Karon called Mellow Space. It is owned and managed by an English guy: www.mellowrooms.com/ Edited September 20, 2012 by Chantal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 You probably won't even see the owner of the hotel you stay in, unless it's a tiny family run place, so it matters little who owns it. If your MIL runs your life so completely and, as you say, money doesn't matter, stay at the Hilton or Holiday Inn, etc. That should keep your keeper quiet. (Incidently most tourists who die in hotels in Phuket fall from balconies, so ask for a ground floor room if you are that terrified!) You could also point out to the MIL that 2-3 million tourists come and go from Phuket every year without getting slaughtered. Most who die here smash their bikes into other objects at 2or3 in the morning. So don't hire a motor bike nor ride it drunk/drugged without a helmut at speed.
