Koh Chang famous seafood restuarant with terrible service

Last time, i have post the story about "Jai Eiw" one of famous seafood restaurant in Koh Chang, Thailand. Now, i would like to tell the story about another famous seafood restaurant in Koh Chang which situated in the area named "Salak Phet" as i will not tell you about the name of this restaurant because this post is all about compliant!

Salak Phet is the name of the area situated far away from white sand beach which is deemed to be the capital of Koh Chang. I have read in the travel magazine recommeded me that there is famous seafood restaurant situated in this area and when you go to koh chang, you can't miss this restaurant. Of course, as same as many customers, i also want to experience the taste of famous seafood restuarant as well, then, i started driving from white sand beach to Salak Phet as it took about 1 hour to arrive at this restaurant. After reading menu, the price for seafood is reasonable if compared to other restaurant in Koh Chang  and i ordered 4 disks of seafood.

The time is around 14.00, there're approximated 20-30 customers visiting this restaurant. I waited for the food around 15 minutes, then, the first dish which is grilled squid has been served as it is delicious as the travel magazine recommend and i think that other dishes should be great like the grilled squid. I wait for the second dish to serve arounf 20 minutes but nothing happen, therefore, i called the waiters as sometime they may forget to write down my order and they tell me to be patience. I patiently waited for another 15 minutes but the second dishes still not ready to serve and i indicated that the waiters only served for the big group of customers sitting nearby.

In the next 15 minute, i'm started to feel angry as i think that this bad koh chang restaurant ignored us because we are just a little group of customer (3 person) as they will not gain more money form us, at this time, i called the waiter for the Bill as i don't care about other dishes of seafood that i ordered. Surprisingly, after i called for the bill, this time the second and the next dishes can be served after waiting around 1 hour as i don't know that the taste of the second and third dishes are good or bad because i'm hungry and in the bad mood for now.

The story in not end yet, after finishing my lunch in this koh chang restaurant, now i called the waiter for the bill. Again, the waiter let me wait for the bill about 10 minute as i recalled the waiter to receive my money a couple of time (Please Receive my Money) but as usual for this restaurant, nothing happen and all waiters ignored us. As the result, i break down and loudly shout to all waiters and customers that "If you're not come to collect my money now, i will walk away without paying".

At last, i would like to say that i this famous koh chang restaurant in Salak Phet area is excellent in its seafood taste, however, the service of this restaurant is one of the bad service that i've ever experience. The question is will you try the restaurant with awful service.

Koh Chang at White Sand Beach Part 2

Hello Everybody,

Let continue my trip at Koh Chang.

I woke up around 8 in the morning at KC Grand Hotel Koh Chang and i feel really hungry, so i have to go to the hotel restaurant at the white sand beach to enjoy my breakfast. Like other hotels, the breakfast here is american breakfast style and also boiled rice and fried rice as its taste is okay but if compare to other hotels in koh chang, it still need some improvement. KC Grand Hotel is the first hotel that you will find when you arrived at white sand beach, therefore, the beach in front of this hotel is clean covering with white sand and blue sea water. In my opinion, the view point in front of KC Grand hotel is one of the most beautiful seaside in koh chang as you may see from image below.

After breakfast, i walked along the seaside and take some beautiful picture of white sand beach from my new compact camera "Sony dsc-wx1", this camera incorporated with cool function like sweep panorama as you see from image above and iAuto which is outstanding function for this camera.

Okay, let come back to White Sand Beach Koh Chang, after 45 minutes of walking along the beach, then i came back to my hotel and looking for the hotel's facilities, there are many facilities like fitness and spa available for you but the facility that i like most for this hotel is its swimming pool. If compare with other hotels in koh chang, KC Grand's swimming pool is not so huge, however, the pool situated along the beach which generated great seaside viewpoint and in children swimming pool also has turtle slider which my daughter really enjoy to play it and for adult, there are many Jacuzzi available for you as well.

In my opinion, KC Grand Koh chang hotel is over the average for me as i preferred its room with big single bed, swimming pool and its great seaview which i can recommend to all of you, but, the breakfast still need little improvement.

Thank for reading see you in my next post.

Koh Chang at White Sand Beach Part1

Hello Everyone,

Havn't post for a long time since 2008. Now i'm back to blogger again. Today I would like to express my impression to one of my favorite beach in KOH CHANG, Thailand which is called "White Sand beach". As i remembered, i have posted my story about Koh Chang long time ago. But this time, i will tell you my lastest trip at Koh chang Thailand on May 2010.

I started my journey from Bangkok departed around 9.00 and arrived at Koh Chang around 19.00 as it take around 9 hours from Bangkok to Koh Change. Generally, you need only 4 or 4.5 hours to get yourself from Bangkok to Koh Chang. However, on late May 2010, i faced heavy rain along way to Koh Chang and there're many travlers waiting for ferry at the ferry port (most of them are Thais).

After arrived at Koh Chang, i drived my Honda CRV directly to my hotel named "KC Grand Hotel" situated at White Sand Beach. I recommended you that you should book KC Grand Hotel via http://www.agoda.com/ website because this site offered you huge discount more than you can imagine. This hotel is okay for me and my family as the hotel decorated with beautiful antique furniture but what i like for this hotel is its really huge single bed as you may see below.

As i arrived at Koh Chang quite late this time, my first day of journey must be overed. Before i rest, i have to find some delicious cheap sea food to eat and i come to one of favorite sea food local restuarant in Koh Chang called "Jei Aew"(sorry if i miss spelling). There're many travelers (almost 90% are Thais) came to this local sea food restuarant as there are no seat available, you have to wait for you turn. I recommend that if you want to try "Jei Aew", you should come after 21.00 as you may find some seat available for you. In my opinion, Jei Aew is one of the most delicious retuarant in Koh Chang and the price is reasonable. Of course, if you are Western travelers, the sea food price for this restuarant is reall cheap for you.

I have to end my first day journey now. Thank for reading my post. See you on my next post. Bye
