Tourist Reports Unsettling Wildlife Encounter at Koh Larn Resort
A traveler shared a past experience of finding snakes and geckos in a Koh Larn resort bathroom, highlighting the importance of checking recent reviews.
A social media post by a traveler named Darin has resurfaced, detailing an unsettling experience at a resort on Koh Larn, Chonburi. According to Khaosod Online, the incident occurred on March 18, 2024, when the guest discovered three geckos and a snake inside her accommodation's bathroom.
Darin explained that she had booked the resort based on its aesthetic appeal and location, bypassing the step of checking recent guest reviews on platforms like Google Maps. Upon arrival, she noted a faint, unpleasant odor in the bathroom, which she initially attributed to cleaning issues or rugs. She also reported finding remnants of what appeared to be a decomposed lizard near the sink area. When she raised the issue with the resort owner, she was told that because the property is situated near a forest, the presence of such wildlife is considered normal.
For travelers and residents, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying current guest feedback before booking, especially for properties located in natural or forested areas. While the resort owner maintains that wildlife encounters are expected due to the location, the experience highlights potential hygiene and maintenance concerns. It remains to be confirmed whether the resort has since implemented measures to better secure rooms against wildlife entry or if the property has addressed the reported sanitation issues.
