The Chuas
January 1, 2024
Overall, the place is great, room was spacious and clean, and the staff were all very accommodating. It's right across Expo and the market and about 10mins drive to Phuket Old Town. I think the only disappointment during our Christmas to New Year stay was the NYE party. We paid 2.8k Baht per pax only to be served a really pathetic spread of beef x chicken slices, potatoes and mixed veggie. We're not really into drinking so we drank mostly supermarket orange and apple juices being served. Canapes were also very basic. There was no emcee or entertainment except for a magician who went one round per table to show a few tricks. We were basically bored to death while waiting for 12mn. It also didn't help that it rained and there was no wet weather contingency so we were all squeezed into the cramped indoor space. We paid around the same amount last year for NYE party in Indonesia, and Phuket was a far cry from that. Indonesia has given us a full carnival entertainment, really great emcee that kept us engaged all night, 3 long tables of food variety, full goat and cows being roasted and served fresh off the grill. Lots of activities and dancing while waiting for 12mn.
