SS Home Buriram: Your Dream Thai Escape Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! You think you know hotels? Think again. Because I'm about to spill the tea – and the Thai iced tea – on SS Home Buriram: Your Dream Thai Escape Awaits! Prepare for a review that’s less Travelocity and more… well, me.
First Impressions: A Confession
Okay, full disclosure? I'm not exactly a seasoned traveler. My usual "dream Thai escape" involves ordering Pad Thai from my couch and watching cat videos. So, the fact that I was even in Buriram, Thailand, was already a win. And SS Home, well, it sort of blew my expectations outta the water. From the get-go, things were… smooth. The check-in? Contactless. Seriously, future of the hotel experience is here. And the lobby? Not your sterile, boring hotel lobby. More like a stylish living room. Okay, maybe my living room after I've had a caffeine rush and decided to reorganize the spice rack. Which is to say, a good feeling.
Accessibility: Not Just a Buzzword, Actually Thought About!
Now, I haven't needed to test the wheelchair accessibility myself. I'm mostly made of caffeine and impulsive decisions. But I did notice, and that's the sign of a good job, the ramps, the elevators… it was all there. More importantly, it felt integrated, not like an afterthought. Bravo! They actually thought about this. It warms the heart.
The Room: My Personal Oasis (Almost)
Let's talk about my room. Okay, my room wasn't perfect. (I'm a human, not a robot, remember). The coffee maker was… well, it wasn't as powerful as my at-home beast, leaving me with a slightly disappointing morning brew. But, and this is a big but: the bed. Oh, the bed! Like sleeping on a cloud made of happy thoughts and maybe a little bit of vanilla extract. Extra long bed, people! Necessary. The blackout curtains? Heaven-sent. I slept like a baby (a baby who occasionally woke up to check their phone, which… Wi-Fi being free and available in all rooms is crucial, people!). And the Wi-Fi? Speedy. Never dropped a video call. The basics – air conditioning, a mini-bar (stocked!), a safe… all present and accounted for. The little touches, fresh bottled water, fluffy bathrobes, slippers… it felt like a genuine experience instead of just a room.
Food, Glorious Food (and My Breakfast Saga)
Alright, food. This is where things got really interesting.
Restaurants: There are a few to choose from.
Breakfast: I'm a breakfast fiend. And the buffet? It was seriously… expansive. They were offering a buffet, plus breakfast in room. PLUS takeaway. Options, options, options! From Asian to Western (I stuck with the international cuisine). They even had… wait for it… Asian soup. That hit me like a warm hug. Plus, the coffee shop had a decent latte. Seriously. And those little pastries… chef's kiss. The only downside? I may or may not have overeaten every morning. See, I'm not perfect.
Dining Details: From salad-filled plates to the desserts, I had to get a second serving of many dishes.
Dietary Needs: Alternative meal arrangements were available.
Snack Bar & More: I got a bottle of water every day. I went to the poolside bar for happy hour and loved it.
Relaxation Station: My Spa Disaster (and Redemption)
Okay, so, about the spa. Yes, there's a spa! And a gym! Saunas! Steam rooms! Pools with a view! I decided to be adventurous and get a… body wrap. I walk out of the spa feeling like a completely new human. A human who smelled like fresh green tea and had the urge to conquer the world, and the rest of the day I'm just… radiating. Amazing.
Cleanliness & Safety: Feeling Safe in a Post-Pandemic World
Look, let's be real. We’re all a little extra conscious about cleanliness these days. SS Home does not shirk. They have anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection, room sanitization opt-out (if you're into that), staff trained on all the safety stuff… Made me feel like I could breathe. Plus, individually-wrapped food options everywhere. They're even using professional-grade sanitizing products, so it's not a half-hearted, "wipes and hope" situation.
Services & Conveniences: They Thought of Everything (Almost)
Now, I’m not a business traveler, but they've got all the meeting facilities and everything else. For me as a non-business person, there's a convenience store (got my snacks), a currency exchange (very handy), laundry service (hallelujah!), luggage storage (essential for a chronic over-packer like myself), and they even had a doctor on call. No need for that, thankfully.
For the Kids & Couples: The Extras
I didn't have kids with me, or a significant other (this trip was solo, baby!), but they clearly cater to both. Babysitting. Family-friendly options. The pools are a winner. Couple's room is available, and the proposal spot? Intriguing.
Getting Around: Effortless Exploration
They’ve got airport transfers, car parks, bike parking and even taxi service. Very easy to arrive and come again.
The Quirks, the Bumps, and the Real Stuff
Minor Gripe: Yeah, the coffee. Still not as good as my home machine, but hey, you can't win every battle.
What I Didn't Use (But Appreciated): The gym is available.
Final Verdict: Book. Now.
Look, I'm not one for hyperbole. But SS Home Buriram? It's a winner. It's comfortable, clean, well-equipped, and the staff are genuinely lovely. They care. It's got the little touches that make a difference. You will feel like you're on a vacation. My dream Thai escape? It's now a reality… or I should say, a memory.
My Honest-to-Goodness Anecdote:
One evening, I was wandering around, slightly lost and definitely hangry. A staff member saw my confused face, approached me, and without a word practically led me to the best little street food stall just outside the hotel. Yeah, I ate delicious street food. That sums up their service. It was amazing.

Tupelo's BEST Hotel? Holiday Inn & Suites North Review!
Okay, buckle up buttercups. We're going to Buriram, and it's not going to be all perfectly curated Instagram shots. Prepare for a bumpy (and hopefully hilarious) ride. Welcome to my Buriram itinerary, but don't expect any sparkling organization, alright?
SS Home Buriram: Operation "Wai, What Did I Just Eat?" - A Messy Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival (and Mild Panic)
Morning (Probably Late Morning): Landing in Buriram. Okay, so the flight's fine, but already I'm sweating. Not the dignified kind, either. More "oh god, the humidity is a living thing" kind. Getting a taxi to SS Home. The driver doesn't speak much English. I try my best Thai ("Sawasdee krap!" and "Khop khun krap!" - all the vocab I've got). He just stares blankly. This is going to be a fun trip.
Afternoon: Check-in & Immediate Regret (Just Kidding… Mostly):
- SS Home. Finally! It's actually… lovely. Modern, clean… too clean, maybe? Like, I'm afraid to breathe too loudly in case I smudge something. The lobby smells like fresh laundry and hope. (Hope that I can navigate this city without ending up hopelessly lost). Check-in. The staff is super friendly. They probably see the "lost tourist" look in my eyes and are used to it.
- Unpacking & Contemplating My Life Choices: Seriously, why Buriram? (Don't tell anyone I said that, the city seems wonderful, I'm just overwhelmed.)
- The First Food Adventure: Okay, this is where things get messy. I decide to be brave and head out for lunch at a local place near the hotel. Pointing at pictures on a menu. "Pad See Ew?" The lady at the stall nods enthusiastically, her eyes crinkling at the corners. I think I ordered noodles. Turns out… it's noodles. Good noodles. Maybe too good. The chili level hits me halfway through the meal. My face is on fire. I'm fanning myself like a Victorian lady having a swoon. But hey, I survived. Sort of.
Evening: Stadium Stroll & Beer Sanity Check
- Walk to the Buriram United stadium… well, attempt to walk. I get lost in the market for about an hour. SO MANY FOOD STALLS and more delicious smells. I stumble upon some amazing mango sticky rice. This whole trip might be worth it just for the mango sticky rice.
- Finally get to the stadium. It's HUGE. Even for a non-football fan, it's impressive. Taking photos, pretending I understand the sport.
- Head back to the hotel. Stop at a 7-Eleven (bless these things) for a cold Chang beer. This is exactly what I need. Sipping it on my balcony, watching the world go by. Okay, Buriram, I'm starting to get you.
Day 2: Castles, Cows, and Cultural Confusion
Morning: Phanom Rung Historical Park - Majestic Ruins & Mosquito Mafia:
- Uber to Phanom Rung Historical Park. (Note to self: download more offline map to avoid bad network errors.)
- The temple is seriously breathtaking. Like, Indiana Jones-level awesome. The architecture. The views. I get a little lost in the ancient history.
- Disaster Strike! The mossquitos are real. Bug spray? Forgotten. I am being eaten alive. Swatting, scratching, and trying to look dignified whilst being feast for the local insect population. Lesson learned: Embrace the Deet.
- Also, I think I saw a cow giving me a dirty look. Not sure why.
Afternoon: Exploring the City Market (and My Stomach's Limits):
- Back in Buriram town, braving the market. It’s a sensory overload. The smells! The colors! The vendors shouting at me. This is the real Thailand.
- Tried some street food. It's a gamble every time. Not sure what half of it is, but I'm going for it. I eat something that might have been deep-fried anything. It was probably delicious.
- Shopping for souvenirs. More sweating, more smiling, more negotiating (badly). I end up with a ridiculous hat that I’ll probably never wear. But, hey, memories.
- I think I’m developing an obsession with the local iced coffee. It's the only way I can function in this heat.
Evening: Dinner & Deep Thoughts (Possibly Over a Beer):
- Trying a restaurant recommended by someone at the hotel (who, by the way, needs a better understanding of the words "spicy level").
- Contemplating the meaning of life over a plate of green curry. Is happiness a perfectly cooked curry, or is it the company you share it with? Probably a bit of both.
- Head back to the hotel. Write in my journal, making mental notes of how to avoid the mosquito gods tomorrow.
Day 3: The Lake & The Farewell… For Now?
Morning: Lake Visit (A Little More Relaxation):
- Find a boat ride to enjoy the natural scenery. Lake, birds, the sun is shining… It is relaxing.
- A little bit of writing, and a bit of reading too.
- Have a small picnic with a fresh baguette, and some local cheese and fruits bought from the market.
Afternoon: Last-Minute Adventures & Souvenir Sprints:
- One last wander around the city, trying to absorb as much Buriram-ness as possible.
- Buy a couple of last-minute gifts. Hopefully, I picked the good ones.
- Try and fail, to learn a bit of Thai. My pronunciation is probably atrocious, but giving it a go.
Evening: Farewell Dinner and the Airport Drama:
- A final meal, hopefully with fewer spicy surprises. Saying goodbye to the city with a beer.
- The airport. Leaving!
- The flight takes off. As the plane ascends, I turn back to the city and start daydreaming about coming back.
- A good trip. An adventure. I'll probably need a nap when I get home.
Post-Trip Reflections (Weeks Later):
- Okay, so the food was intense. My tongue (and my stomach) may never be quite the same.
- I still have that ridiculous hat. And that itchy mosquito bite still exists.
- But you know what? Buriram was amazing. The people were warm, the culture was captivating, and the whole experience was… well, gloriously messy. Would I go back? Absolutely. In a heartbeat. I'm thinking about buying a mosquito net before my next adventure!
So, um... What *is* this thing anyway? Like, in layman's terms, for someone who's still trying to find their socks?
Alright, alright, settle down. Let's just say it's… complicated. Imagine a weird, messy, beautiful tapestry woven from threads of pure, unadulterated chaos. That's... well, that’s a decent starting point. Honestly, I'm still figuring it out myself. It's like trying to herd cats made of glitter. But basically? It’s about exploring... well, a whole heap of stuff. From the mundane to the utterly bonkers. Expect tangents, expect meanderings, expect maybe a few tears. Okay, probably more than a few. And don't be surprised if I rant about the price of avocados. It happens.
Is it supposed to be funny? Because I’m pretty sure I heard someone snorting with laughter… was it you?
Look, if you laughed, fantastic! Gold star for you. I aim for "slightly amusing, possibly embarrassing" most days. And yes, that snorting sound? More often than not, that's me. I’m a terrible, terrible laugher. It’s like a strangled walrus trying to learn the cha-cha. So yeah, part of the goal is to find the humor in the… you know… the train wrecks of life. I mean, if we’re not laughing, we’re crying, right? And I'm pretty sure I've used up my crying quota for the next decade. Although, knowing me….
Okay, fine, but what's the *point*? What's the ultimate goal here? Are you trying to sell me something? Because honestly, I'm broke.
Sell you something? Absolutely not! Unless you count my existential dread, which is currently on sale. The point? I honestly don't completely know. Maybe it's just about… surviving? Making sense of the world, one slightly hysterical blog post at a time. Maybe it's about connecting with others who feel just as lost and confused. Honestly, if I can just make someone else feel a little less alone in this giant, weird world, then… yeah, that's a win. It’s about sharing the beautiful mess of being human, the good, the bad, the utterly ridiculous. The goal is connection. And maybe a good cup of tea. I really need a good cup of tea right now.
Why this topic? What made you choose it?
Choose it? Ha! It chose me. Seriously. There’s no grand plan, no carefully orchestrated launch. It’s more like… a snowball rolling downhill, gathering momentum and picking up all sorts of random crap along the way. First, it was about my crippling fear of... well, everything. Then, it was the disastrous attempt at making sourdough. Now it's become something I can't even begin to describe, I have so many feelings about this particular concept that I'm not sure I'm equipped to even put them into words. How did I get here? Honestly, I think it started with the existential crisis that hit me harder than a rogue wave, and I'm still trying to paddle back to shore. It's a glorious, terrifying, and utterly unpredictable journey.
What is your process like? Do you plan everything out, or do you just wing it?
Plan? You think I actually *plan* things? Oh, that's rich! It's more like a chaotic dance with the muse, where the music's always a bit off-key, and I'm pretty sure I'm stumbling on the melody. The starting point is often a spark, a nagging thought, a burning question, a minor life catastrophe. Then things deteriorate quickly. It's a whirlwind of procrastination, frantic research (or not!), and a healthy dose of self-doubt. Oh, the self-doubt! It's a constant companion, whispering insidious lies in my ear. "No one cares," it hisses. "You're a fraud." I try to tell it to shut up, but it never does. And, the end result? A messy, honest, and hopefully thought-provoking exploration.
What's the deal with the tangents? I’m easily distracted!
Tangents! Ah, yes, the beautiful, winding roads of my thought process. Look, I can't help it. My brain is like a hyperactive squirrel on espresso. One minute I'm talking about A, the next I'm deep-diving into the mating rituals of the Peruvian tree frog. (Okay, maybe not that specific example, but you get the idea.) Consider these tangents a feature, not a bug. They're the spice of life! The sprinkles on the metaphorical sundae. They’re where the magic happens. If you're easily distracted, well, prepare yourself. You've been warned. You'll likely find something that will catch your interest and distract you from the original question, which, now that I think about it, is how I ended up here.
Do you ever get writer's block? And if so, what do you do about it?
Writer's block? Honey, it's practically my co-author! It's a constant, unwelcome guest, always lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce. When it strikes, it's like a mental fog descends. But I've learned a few tricks to… cope. Mostly I panic for a while. Then, I try to break through it. Sometimes a walk helps. Other times, all it takes is a good cup of coffee (or two... or three). Or a screaming match with my internal critic, followed by a promise to be nicer to myself. Really, the most useful thing I do is just... keep going. Even if every word feels like wading through molasses. Eventually, something, anything, will come out. Badly, at first. But then it can be improved. I'm still learning.
What if I disagree with something you say? And what if I find something completely off-putting?
Disagree? Please! That's the whole point! I'm not trying to preach; I'm just trying to share my messy, imperfect thoughts. Absolutely challenge me! Engage in conversation! Debate, disagree, or anything in between. I welcome it. Find something off-putting? Well, that's life, isn't it? Not everyone is going to connect with everything I do, it couldn't get any less personal because I feel this way too. And that’s okay. Feel free to roll your eyes, snort with derision, or even abandon ship. The door is always open. But if my work somehow sparks your interest and makes you feel something, even if it's disgust, then I'm going to call that a success.
