The name “13 Coins” used to be a very famous name in Seattle, Washington. The owner of this resort went Seattle for a training and he has brought back 500,000 Baht to start his empire in Thailand. By the year 2007, he has a total of 30 outlets in Thailand.

When you see an uncle sitting at the main entrance, wearing a torn shirt and slippers, you don’t know that he is actually a rich owner of this resort. Yes, no joke.

I booked this resort with credit card through RatestoGo and immediately I receive a call from the manager of this resort. I was offered with an airport transfer to this resort.

During year 1976 onwards, I believe that this resort is a very well-known place for dining. They have very great, nice and cheap seafood. (I will write about their food later on)

If you are a traveler who would like to go to the Bangkok City Centre, I do not recommend this resort due to it’s distance. You should opt for some hotel nearby the city centre, which will cost you more than this.

Oh by the way, it’s only USD29 per room per night.

Well, the wooden built resort was a run-down resort. You can hardly see people around. It is so quiet and it is a little bit quite scary.

You will be transferred from the Hotel Lobby to your room, using their buggy services.

This is how the exterior looks like.

The lake is no longer a lake, it is now over-flooded with rain water.

This is how the room looks like, a very small and cozy room.

    The resort looks old, but I think the price is reasonable.
