Baan Souy, It's a great place but a tad too expensive for my pocket . I think around the 1800 b a night for a studio . Great facilities there though , One has to get a baht bus to anywhere though from that main road I have stayed their numerous times over the years but last trip decided the Zing was my choice . Quote
12is12 Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 I just checked Agate's website. It seems none of the rooms offer a mini fridge. Could this be really so ? Quote
traveller123 Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 We have stayed many times at the agate and always had a fridge in the room vaughn and Tartegogo 2 Quote
Londoner Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 Yes, I confirm that....but I think it may be a drinks cooler rather than a fridge. In other words, no freezing compartment. Tartegogo 1 Quote
Boy69 Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 Agate serving breakfasts now since they stop doing it at the Covid times? Tartegogo 1 Quote
Londoner Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 I was told that they were when I booked for my trip there next week (can't wait!). However, it won't be the pre-Covid buffet; residents will have to pre-order from a menu. Boy69 1 Quote

Nearby there are some better options, for same (or lower) price and better quality! Quote
Londoner Posted November 21, 2022 Posted November 21, 2022 The Agate buffet breakfast is now available. We find it more convenient, both in terms of opening-times and the and variety of food on offer, than when we had to breakfast elsewhere on our previous visit. The cost is 200 bht for a cooked course- Western and Asian- bread/toast, cereal and fruit with orange juice and unlimited coffee. We find it good value. traveller123 1 Quote

Londoner Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Yes. It's not large....the buffet offered by Amora in Chiang Mai , a huge place where we stayed last week- was bigger and better, if more expensive. Agate is a relatively small place, after all. But it suits our needs, particularly in view of the fact that we eat early. Quote
