Pasar Malam Fun Friday Avenue

I booked a stay for a week and left after one day due to being intimidated by 8 Russian men. As a trans woman traveling alone on vacation knowing that Thailand is very safe for LGBTIQQ ppl. I went to the pool after visiting the spa which was amazing and the staff was very helpful. I left as I felt my life or the safety of my life would be at risk and would not be able to enjoy my trip as planned. While sitting at the pool I had 3 very large mafia type Russian me sit/stand over me while talking Russian and staring at me. There was another 5 standing off in the background waiting. I left the pool and packed up my things and left the property to another resort and had no issue at another property. I also at the time requested to close out my bill of which they handed me a bill and I paid it. After leaving the property they called my new resort telling the staff I owed them for the spa I visited. I paid the additional bill to not cause trouble in another country. It was very unprofessional of them to request more money after I had shorten my stay. I would not recommend staying here as a LGBTIQQ member or born female unless you can defend yourself against 3-8 Russian men alone. I was told after the fact that these Russian type visit this area quite often. Where I stayed at afterwards I had no issues with any Russian persons. The lack of security to protect its guest was a joke at best.

Stayed 2 years on the trot and it’s lovely, my only concern now is it seems to be catering for the Muslim community which is fine but this factors in the food for breakfast. The pool was way too warm we asked the pool attendant numerous times to chill it but came on deaf ears. The pool tiles are dated and need change ASAP as they have very sharp edges and could be a problem for young children ( to which there are many at this resort. Overall 2 and a bit resort sorry
