Tempo Plus Apartment Mae Sot

The bed and shower were fine, and the rooms were reasonably clean. It has daily and monthly rental options, though the place felt a bit sterile and not very cozy. My room’s location could mean hearing neighbors chatting or big trucks on the main road, but the night itself was very quiet. I wouldn’t mind coming back.

I’d booked a room for 500 baht plus a 100 baht deposit, then arrived early in the morning because I hadn’t expected the bus to get in at dawn. The male receptionist was extremely rude, pouty, and racist. I asked if I could check in early for an extra charge, but he said every room was full, even though I could see vacant rooms right in front of me. After waiting six hours, sitting and sleeping and going to breakfast, I was told a room was ready. They asked for another 100 baht for early check-in, just an hour before the regular check-in time. I only rested there for a few hours before leaving. I could feel hostility toward my nationality in the air, or maybe toward everyone, I don’t know. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is a basic hotel about a 2 km walk from the bus station, and the town is also within walking distance. The room and toilet were very clean, with a comfortable bed, air conditioning, hot shower, fridge, water boiler, and TV. There’s a small area at the back with a basin for washing clothes. Plenty of little shops and street food spots are nearby. We were lucky to get a special discount through Agoda.

We found food within an easy walk, and the friendly, helpful, hard-working staff made things easy. It’s a simple place with the basic necessities, and it worked well for us.
