Maiyai Resort - Big Tree

Majesty Marquee is big complex for event management. I have been there for attending weeding event with family and good services provider. Food was delicious, staff was well trained and well enough professional

We generally stay at the Fig Boutique hotel but the wife wanted to try here for a change, we wanted to book two rooms,or two nights, but only one was available.. My first impression walking into the lobby was that of pizza and fast food, as everyone there was chowing down on the stuff and ignoring us.. Finally, the lady decided we weren't going away and pushed a tattered photo album towards us that gave us our choice of what was available and stood there eating whilst we looked through the dog eared pages. There was a "villa" and a standard room, so we were trooped off by some teen, still munching away on pizza, to view.. The villa was situated on a island surrounded by driveways with zero privacy, so we gave that a miss and when ushered into the standard room, it was basic, looked clean enough, but certainly not earth shattering and welcoming... We went out and returned to plenty of noise from surrounding clubs and bars, I had earplugs at least, the wife didn't and had trouble sleeping on the very uncomfortable bed getting blasted by the air con. The walls, we found out after midnight, were paper thin and several youths who had returned from one of the bars, decided to carry on until the wee hours, so the wife got almost no sleep. We had to get up fairly early and see the family, so the wife went off to shower. Two minutes later, there was a scream from the bathroom, initially I thought she saw a spider or something, but when I ran in, she was on the floor, clutching her arm. She had received a bad electrical shock from the badly wired water heater, 240 volts, it could have killed her... She was badly distressed and needed some serious calming down, I was going to take her to the hospital but she said no, and after a while recovered enough to go looking for something to eat at the free breakfast, but the spread was a miserable collection of crummy looking Thai food and a toast station. So, that was a disaster too. Neither of us wanted to stay any longer, so we checked out and told them why, especially the electrical issue, which they seemed totally uninterested to hear about, or why we chose not to stay the second night. The whole impression we got was that being a holiday, the place was booked out and they could care less about a farang and his Thai wife. We generally try and find something redeeming about anywhere we stay, but this place had zero redeeming factors.. We went to Fig Boutique and enjoyed our second night immensely...

Very Friendly,comfortable,clean.pleasant and very reasonably priced.Theres a choice of bungalows,chalets etc in a lovely garden setting, starting from only 390 baht per night.I had the cheaper semi bungalow (see photos) and was very satisfied. Don't waste your time looking for a better alternative.This is by far one of the better resorts in this area and one which I will certainly return to,if I am visiting Kamphang Phet again.,
