Host Tips
Each room is unique, but if I had to recommend one, it would be our Casa Prima suite. It’s our VIP room with a window overlooking the pool. We only have two of them, so you’ll need to book early if you want to stay there. If you’re planning to visit during busy times like Songkran in April or New Year’s, I’d suggest booking at least a month in advance.
We have a cafe on-site that’s open every day from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., and I'd recommend trying Pomi Amgung Pasta, a fusion of a famous Thai dish with pasta. Guests staying with us even get a 10% discount at the cafe.
The neighborhood around Casa 33 has plenty of restaurants, including halal options for our Muslim guests. We’re close to a park where you can go jogging in the morning, and there’s a police station nearby, so the area feels very safe. If you’re interested in exploring, we can help arrange tuk-tuk tours, taxi rides, and car and motorcycle rentals. Nearby, we have Greenway Market for street food and souvenirs and Long Hair Floating Market. For a day trip, I’d recommend Songkhla Old Town, where you can visit cafes, Samila Beach, and the famous Mermaid Statue.
