Baan Wassana In The City Old Moat

Nice place in the old town near to facilities and in accepted zone for takeout for most of tours ;)

Not used to external kitchen... not a bad experience, but strange for me occidental.

From the moment you enter, the apartment feels like home. It has everything you may need: washing machine, coffee, tea, kettle, cold-water dispenser, chilled water in the fridge and even complimentary snacks. The kitchen is fully equipped, the three bedrooms are spacious, the beds are very comfortable, and the bathrooms have plenty of towels and toiletries. Outside, the private pool completes the experience. In terms of comfort, cleanliness and equipment, this place could easily be 10/10.

Unfortunately, the biggest issue was the number and location of the cameras. Cameras outside near the entrance are understandable, but we also found cameras inside the kitchen and living area. We also noticed a CCTV recorder in a glass cabinet. We could identify around five cameras, while the system seemed to have more cables connected, which naturally made us wonder whether there were additional cameras we could not see. One camera appeared to cover the outdoor shower and another the pool. My girlfriend even asked me to cover some of them before using the pool because she felt uncomfortable. The concern is not only about being physically recorded. With cameras inside the living areas, you also start thinking about digital privacy. If you are working on a laptop, entering passwords, checking emails or banking details, you cannot know whether a camera can see your screen or keyboard. We are two adults, so for us this was mainly a privacy concern. However, I would personally not stay here with children, because I would not feel comfortable knowing that cameras may be recording them while they are swimming in the pool or using the outdoor shower. We did not report this to Booking.com because we hope the owner will correct it. Removing the cameras from the private indoor areas and reconsidering those around the pool and outdoor shower would make this an excellent place to stay.
