We was in North Patong, just as you start to go into Kalim Beach. Only a short drive into town. Maybe 5 to 10 minutes on the free shuttle bus.
Another reason why I picked this motel was:
The Early Disaster Warning Tower is installed on the roof of the building. Inside, the tower is equipped with digital radio receiver which will be able to receive signals via satellite, which will be linked from Bangkok, where the signals from the tower will be analyzed by experts from a range of agencies. Unmanned, the tower is powered using solar energy. The warning siren will be at least 121 decibels in strength.
Plus we stayed on the 4th floor.
The Tsunami went to the 3rd floor of this resort.
We tried to put a little safety into the holiday as well.
Thx!
