Unbelievable! This House at #3 Phitsanulok, Thailand Will SHOCK You!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into a review of that Phitsanulok house. Prepare for a review that’s less sterile brochure, and more… well, me rambling with a caffeine buzz. Let's see if this "Unbelievable" place lives up to the hype.

--- NOW, LET’S GET MESSY! ---
Right, so this place in Phitsanulok. "Unbelievable!" the headline screamed. And honestly? I had to see it. I've been burned by travel hype before (looking at you, "most authentic Italian restaurant EVER" that served microwaved lasagna), so I went in armed with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Accessibility – The First Hurdle (and how it went):
Okay, let's get the practical stuff out of the way first. Accessibility is HUGE for me. I've got a friend who always gets the short end of the straw, and I was curious. This is where I actually ended up being pleasantly surprised! They list wheelchair accessibility, and honestly? It looked good. Wide doorways, ramps where needed, and… well, I couldn't personally test everything, but from what I could see, they've put thought into this beyond a token "ADA-compliant" ramp slapped onto the entrance. Big thumbs up. They actually seem to care.
On-site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges (and my belly's thoughts):
Now, the food. This is where things get interesting. They tout on-site restaurants. I live for food, and if its easily accessible for everyone, even better! The question is, do they taste good?
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – My Stomach's Report:
A la carte in restaurant/Buffet in restaurant/Asian/International/Western Cuisine: Okay, the sheer volume of dining options is impressive. Too impressive, almost. It felt like they were trying to be everything to everyone. The Asian cuisine? Solid, if a bit predictable. The Western stuff? Hit or miss. The breakfast buffet (yes, I indulged) was a chaotic masterpiece of scrambled eggs and questionable bacon bits. But hey, they had a salad, which is basically a miracle in a place that serves eggs at breakfast.
Coffee/Tea in restaurant/Coffee Shop/Happy hour: These are essentials, and they delivered. The coffee was decent, the tea was plentiful, and the happy hour? Worth it. Trust me.
Poolside bar/Room service: Because you must get a cocktail poolside. Room service was a lifesaver after those chaotic buffets.
Snack bar/Desserts in restaurant: Honestly, I spent way too much time at the snack bar. The desserts? Let's just say they were Instagram-worthy.
The Spa Life – A Whirlwind of Wellness, or Just a Whirlpool?
- Spa/Sauna/Steamroom/Pool with View: Okay, this is where I REALLY lost it. This place has a killer spa. The pool with a view? Breathtaking. I'm a sucker for saunas (sweat, you glorious thing), so I obviously had to check it out. And the steam room! I spent a solid hour in there. Maybe even two. My skin felt like a baby's bottom.
- Massage/Body Scrub/Body Wrap/Foot Bath: The massage? Heavenly. Seriously. I walked in a stressed-out mess, and walked out feeling like I could conquer the world (or at least, the dessert buffet).
Things to Do & Ways to Relax – Because You Can't Just Eat and Spa, Can You? (Kinda Can, Actually):
- Fitness center/Gym/fitness: I intended to use the fitness center. I really, really did. But the spa… and the buffet… and the happy hour… (See, I told you.)
- Swimming pool [outdoor]/Swimming pool: The pools were gorgeous. Crystal clear and begging you to jump in. I finally did and it was glorious.
- Terrace: Perfect for watching the world go by.
Cleanliness and Safety – Did They Actually CLEAN?
- Anti-viral cleaning products/Professional-grade sanitizing services/Room sanitization opt-out: Alright, in a time where germs are a thing, I was paying close attention. They claim to use anti-viral cleaning products, and the place felt clean. My paranoid side relaxed… a bit.
- Daily disinfection in common areas/Rooms sanitized between stays: More good signs. Less chance of catching anything nasty.
- Hand sanitizer/Doctor/nurse on call/First aid kit: They had those. I didn't need them, thank goodness, but it was reassuring.
- Hot water linen and laundry washing/Sterilizing equipment/Sanitized kitchen and tableware items: The details. They matter. And these were all covered.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: The staff seemed genuinely concerned. It wasn't just lip service.
Rooms - Where I Lived, Ate, and Slept
- Available in all rooms/Air conditioning/Alarm clock/Bathrobes/Bath tub/Blackout curtains/Carpeting/Closet/Coffee/tea maker/Complimentary tea/Daily housekeeping/Desk/Extra long bed The rooms? Surprisingly nice. Comfy beds, decent pillows (a travel essential!), and all the usual suspects – air conditioning (thank GOD), coffee maker, and a surprisingly comfortable desk. The blackout curtains were a godsend for sleeping off all that delicious food.
- Free bottled water/Hair dryer/High floor/In-room safe box/Interconnecting rooms available/Internet access – LAN/Internet access – wireless/Ironing facilities/Laptop workspace/Linens/Mini bar/Mirror/Non-smoking/On-demand movies/Private bathroom Mini bar was a bit pricey, but hey, you're on vacation. I also have to admit, the on-demand movies came in handy after a long day of pool-lounging.
- Reading light/Refrigerator/Satellite/cable channels/Scale/Seating area/Separate shower/bathtub/Shower/Slippers/Smoke detector/Socket near the bed/Sofa/Soundproofing/Telephone/Toiletries/Towels/Umbrella/Visual alarm/Wake-up service/Wi-Fi [free]/Window that opens.
Services and Conveniences – The Nitty-Gritty:
- Concierge/Currency exchange/Doorman/Dry cleaning/Elevator, etc.: All the usual standard hotel amenities were on offer. The concierge was helpful, the doorman always smiled, and the elevator was a lifesaver with my luggage.
- Cash withdrawal/Convenience store: Convenient. Especially that convenience store.
- Food delivery/Gift/souvenir shop/Indoor venue for special events/Invoice provided/Ironing service/Laundry service/Luggage storage/Meeting/banquet facilities/Meetings/Meeting stationery/On-site event hosting/Outdoor venue for special events/Projector/LED display/Safety deposit boxes/Seminars/Shrine/Smoking area/Terrace/Wi-Fi for special events/Xerox/fax in business center: The more practical side. Covered.
For the Kids – Bringing the Little Ones?
- Babysitting service/Family/child friendly/Kids facilities/Kids meal: I didn't have kids with me, but I observed more than one happy family. The kids facilities looked decent.
Getting Around:
- Airport transfer, Car Park [free of charge]/Car Park [on-site]/Car power charging station/Taxi service/Valet parking: Easy to get around.
Security – Peace of Mind?
- CCTV in common areas/CCTV outside property/Check-in/out [express]/Check-in/out [private]/Couple's room/Exterior corridor/Fire extinguisher/Front desk [24-hour]/Hotel chain/Non-smoking rooms/Pets allowed unavailablePets allowed/Proposal spot/Room decorations/Safety/security feature/Security [24-hour]/Smoke alarms/Soundproof rooms: They had security nailed down. Safe and secure.
The Imperfections – Because Nothing is Perfect, Right?
Look, no place is perfect. Here are a few things that weren’t quite dazzling:
- The Wi-Fi, sometimes, decided to take a little nap. But it’s ok at the end.
- The decor was a little… much. Not exactly minimalist chic, but vibrant.
- Some of the staff weren't as fluent in English as others. But they were always friendly and tried their best.
Final Verdict – Shocking? Maybe. Worth it? Absolutely.
The "Unbelievable" House? It's… good. Really good. More than good. It's
Johannesburg's HOTTEST 2-Bed Strelitzia Apartment! (Luxury Awaits!)
Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this isn't your grandma's travel itinerary. We're going to House Number 3 in Phitsanulok, Thailand, and it's gonna be… well, me. Expect tangents, questionable decisions, and a whole lotta "OMG DID THAT REALLY HAPPEN?"
The "Get Me Out of Here" Itinerary: Phitsanulok Edition (and the Messy Heart of a Traveler)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Mosquito Massacre (aka, "I should’ve packed bug spray")
- Morning (Like, REALLY Early): Arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Flight was… turbulent. Let's just say my stomach hasn’t forgiven that air pocket. Got through customs, felt triumphant. Then, immediately started sweating. Why is it so humid in Thailand? Seriously. I practically waddled out of the airport.
- Mid-Morning: The REAL adventure begins! The train to Phitsanulok. Train travel is supposed to be romantic, right? Well, it was… a very long train. Beautiful scenery though… when I could see past the haze of heat and the woman next to me who was very enthusiastically eating Durian. (The smell… oh god, the smell.)
- Afternoon: Finally, Phitsanulok! Found House Number 3. It’s… smaller than the pictures. No biggie, right? I'm a minimalist! (Okay, maybe not.) Check-in was a breeze. The nice lady at the front desk gave me the key with a smile that seemed to say, "Good luck, you poor, sweaty thing."
- Late Afternoon: Unpack. Struggle with the mosquito net. Fail miserably. Realize I’m covered in bites already. The mosquitoes here are vampires! They are HUGE! I swear I saw one carrying off a small gecko. Emergency mission: find bug spray. Also, a cold shower.
- Evening: Attempt dinner at a local street food stall. The Pad Thai was heavenly (seriously, the best Pad Thai I've EVER had), but the questionable water situation and the tiny ants made me a little uneasy. Still, ate it all. Regret? Maybe. Would I do it again? Absolutely. That Pad Thai. Oh, that Pad Thai.
Day 2: Temple Trouble and Elephant Encounters (and a Dose of Reality)
- Morning: Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat Woramahawihan. Okay, this temple is STUNNING. The gold! The intricate carvings! The serenity (until the tour group with the screaming toddler arrived). I took a hundred photos. Then, I accidentally walked into a ceremony and felt very underdressed in my sweaty t-shirt and slightly-too-short shorts. Oops.
- Mid-Morning: Elephant Encounter. Okay, I was fully prepared to be the kind of person who gets on an elephant and feels that twinge of guilt. Well, it happened. I did a bit of research, or at least the very basic research that I should have done beforehand and I found it was a sanctuary, with well-trained elephants. It was an incredible experience to see them, but I wish I had done more to learn the basics about the animals and their environment.
- Afternoon: Back at the House. Attempt to relax. Fail. The heat is relentless. The air conditioning is fighting a losing battle. I'm pretty sure sweat is now my main bodily fluid.
- Late Afternoon: I was just thinking about all that nice Pad Thai from the night before and I went to the same stall, only to realize they were out of shrimp, and I thought, "OH NO!" I sat on my own in shock for a moment while I reevaluated my life, and wondered if my trip may be ruined. It wasn't, but I'll tell you… it was a big miss for me.
- Evening: Found a little bar with live music. The music was… interesting. The Chang beer flowed. I may or may not have attempted some questionable dance moves. No regrets! (Okay, maybe a few. But it was fun at the time!)
Day 3: River Rambles and a Lost Shoe (and a Deep Breath)
- Morning: Okay, so I woke up a little… fuzzy. Clearly, the Chang beer got the better of me. Today’s the river tour! Finally, something relaxing.
- Mid-Morning: The Nan River. Beautiful! The boat! The breeze! The… realization that I can’t swim. Okay, maybe the "relaxation" part is a bit subjective. But I loved the views.
- Afternoon: Disaster strikes! While attempting to take a picture of a water buffalo (because tourist, duh), I lost my flip-flop! Just vanished into the mud. Cue dramatic sigh. Went on a quest to find a replacement. Turns out, finding a size 4 shoe in Phitsanulok in the afternoon is harder than it looks. I almost bought a pair of children's sandals out of desperation.
- Late Afternoon: Success (sort of)! Found some cheap plastic sandals that almost fit. They're hideous. They'll do. Swore to myself I was going to buy a spare pair of shoes immediately so this never had to happen again and it didn't.
- Evening: House. Just… house. Maybe watch some TV. Maybe eat some instant noodles. (Because I’m too tired to go out again!) Maybe just think about all the amazing things I’ve experienced on this journey.
Day 4: The Departure and the Unexpected Gift
- Morning: Oh my god, I have to leave. This is my last morning. Breakfast, pack, check out. Did I mention I have to pack? I'm still covered in mosquito bites, I'm slightly less sweaty than I was before, and I actually feel attached to this place.
- Mid-Morning: One last stroll around town. Try to soak it all in, to commit it to memory. But like, I'm gonna keep coming back. I have to.
- Afternoon: On the train back to Bangkok. The woman next to me… she’s eating Durian again. I give her a look, and she shares.
- Late Afternoon: Get to the airport. It's a whirlwind. This time, it was the airport I was afraid of. It's not that bad, but the last thing I did at the hotel was misplace my key. I was frantic, and a few minutes later when I was asked if I had lost my key, I was shocked and confused for a moment while I realized I was going to have to go back. I knew I was going to have to go back and give that information to the front desk. I was late for my flight and I didn't know what to do.
- Evening: Safe and sound!
Final Thoughts:
This trip to Phitsanulok was… everything. It was humid, it was messy, it was beautiful, it was frustrating, it was hilarious. I met amazing people. I saw incredible things. I almost lost a shoe. I ate Pad Thai until I thought I might turn into a noodle. And you know what? I wouldn't trade a single mosquito bite for anything. Now, where to next…?
Escape to Luxury: Mercure Frankfurt City Center - Your Unforgettable German Getaway
Okay, Okay, I've Heard the Hype. What *Exactly* is So Shocking About This Place? Spill!
Honey, the shock factor is a *package deal*. It's not just one thing. It's layers! Think of it like a bad onion… you know, the kind that makes you cry *and* doubt your life choices. First, the architecture. I mean, words fail. It’s a... *statement*, let's just say that. Then there's the sheer *stuff*. We’re talking a glorious, overwhelming, slightly chaotic explosion of… well, everything. Antiques! Clutter! More antiques! And did I mention *stuff*? But the real shocker? The *vibe*. You go in expecting something ostentatious but you stumble into something…genuine. And that, my friends, is truly shocking.
Have You *Been* There? Tell Me More! Spill the Tea… Literally.
Oh, sister, have I been there? I practically *lived* there. Okay, not *lived*, but I spent a good chunk of a sweltering afternoon wandering around, and it was *an experience*. I went with my friend, bless her heart, she's the pragmatist, the calm one, the straight woman to my drama queen. My first words were "Good lord". I’d seen the pictures, yeah, but *nothing* prepared me. I remember just standing in the entryway, mouth agape, trying to process the sheer… *density* of it all. And the tea? Oh, they offered tea. *Potent* tea. I swear, I was practically buzzing. And yes, I might have gotten lost, completely lost, several times. Honestly, that's part of the fun.
Is It "Tacky" Like Some People Say? Be Honest!
Tacky? Absolutely. But *not* in the way you think. It's not your grandma's "live, laugh, love" kind of tacky. It's a *deliberate* tackiness, a curated chaos. It's got style, albeit a very… *specific* style. Let's call it 'maximalist meets hoarder chic'. It’s a "screw the rules" kind of place. So, yeah, it's "tacky," but it's also… incredibly *charming*. I found myself smiling all the time. If you are a minimalist… run. Run far, far away.
What's the Deal with the Owner? Are They Some Kind of Eccentric Genius?
I didn't actually *meet* the owner. I heard whispers, rumors…legends. Which, to be honest, I prefer. Keeps the mystique alive. But yeah, everything about that house screams "eccentric genius." Or maybe "eccentric hoarder genius." The place reflects a singular vision, a complete disregard for societal norms. You'd have to be a *little* off to create something like that, right? And I mean that with the utmost respect! I suspect they’re a bit like a character from a novel you only ever catch glimpses of. I’m almost afraid to disturb their…thing.
So, Is It Worth the Trip? Seriously, Should I Go?
Are you asking me if you should spend your precious time in Thailand at a house bursting with…well, you get it? YES! Absolutely, positively, YES! Don't expect anything. Don't try to understand it. Just *go*. Embrace the weirdness. Get lost in the details. Take a million pictures (you'll need them to process it later). It's an experience you won't forget.
Anything I *Shouldn't* Do While I'm There? Etiquette, Basically.
Okay, here's my advice, straight from someone who was almost swallowed whole by a collection of antique clocks. * **Don't touch anything you don't have to.** This is not a museum. This is someone's… *life*. * **Don't be a snob.** Leave the pretense at the door. Enjoy it. * **Take your time.** Don't rush. Soak it in. The devil is in the details. * **Be respectful.** This is about someone's heart and soul. * **Don't take any of the clocks. Please.**(Just kidding, but seriously). * **Finally, and this is important: Don't Judge.** Just… let the chaos wash over you. You'll need a good, strong drink afterwards, guaranteed.
I'm a Little Claustrophobic… Is This Place Going to Make Me Panic?
Ooooh, good question. Honestly? Potentially. It’s *dense*. Really, really dense. If you are at all prone to feeling overwhelmed by *stuff* in a confined space, this might not be your ideal vacation spot. Maybe take deep breaths. Maybe bring a friend. Maybe keep a clear escape route in mind. Maybe avoid going on a day when the weather is *really* hot. But, hey, if you can conquer this place, you can conquer anything, right? Right?!
Okay, More Details! Let's Get into the Nitty Gritty... Anything Specifically Memorable?
Oh, heavens, where do I even begin? Okay, so there was this *room*… dedicated to… I don't even know! A glorious, bizarre, wonderful mess of… *stuff*. Think taxidermied animals, dusty books, random religious iconography, and enough lamps to light up a small city. And then there were the stairs. The *stairs*! I'm pretty sure they were more of a suggestion than a practical way to get to the second floor. And the smell! The smell was… *unique*. A blend of old wood, dust, and something indescribably… vintage. It was like stepping into a time capsule that smelled faintly of mothballs and forgotten dreams. And the *photos*. Oh, the photos. Family photos, old portraits. It was like wandering through someone’s entire life. Absolutely overwhelming, and completely… *captivating.*
Do You Think It’s Worth Booking a Tour Guide for This Place?
