On On Hotel
Posted by Dave on August 21st, 2008
The On On Hotel is Phuket Town’s oldest. Staying there, I felt like I could’ve been Richard. It was uncanny, and silly to be making such comparisons with a work of fiction.
My room had a broken window, and you could see the light of the lobby through the floorboards which creaked noisily. I thought it added character.
The hallways without windows looked dark, though there were no women washing the floors while sparks flew from a light outlet.
I’m glad I stayed at the hotel for a few nights. It was a nice change from bungalows, however no one named after a cartoon character left me a map to a secret island before slitting his wrists. Luckily, it’s no mystery how to find the beach (Maya Bay) these days.
Dare Me to do something fun, weird, or challenging on the road!
Dude seriously… is that the same hotel from The Beach? It looks exactly like the one in the movie! Btw- I’m from DC I stumbled onto your blog searching for info on Costa Rica.
Yep, it’s seriously the same hotel from the movie!
Wow… not a great hotel, but what a great experience! You’ll have all sorts of fun watching the Beach with your friends when you get back… I can hear it now “I’ve been there, and there, and there, and there… that’s not that great… that’s totally awesome… that really looks like that…”
Ok, so actually, you’ll have to do your own voice-over commentary for the Beach and post it as a long vid on your blog so I can watch it!
