In my quest to try as many hotels in Ubon as possible it was time to try the Tohsang. I booked using booking.com and requested a hotel pick up. No response and as i guessed no pick up was waiting. No stress as it is just 100 baht with the airport taxi. Check in was nice and easy and I was shown to my room. It was like stepping back in time! The only new thing in the room was the TV which had the Australia Network so bonus points there. The room was musty and the carpets old and the lighting very poor. The shower was not too bad. Within walking distance you are limited to a few Thai street restaurants but that is it. I did manage to fine a place that did excellent Larb for my dinner. Breakfast was slightly better then I expected with a small buffet section as well as eggs etc cooked to order. The view of the gun carrying guards on the turrent at the jail next door was a nice touch. :) If the rate was between 500 - 750 baht I would have ranked this much higher but at 1,150 baht it is over priced compared to other places I have stayed. If you want breakfast then the Natsiri a few blocks away is a better place for just 700 baht. If breakfast does not matter then try the Phadaeng or...In my quest to try as many hotels in Ubon as possible it was time to try the Tohsang. I booked using booking.com and requested a hotel pick up.
