On site staff at Shambhala beach bar are very friendly and helpful. Maids clean the house one time per week and change both bath and pool towels. Bed Linen are changed every week and for each new arrival. Minibars are well stocked and payable on departure in cash. Electricity usage is metered and payable on departure at a rate of THB 6 per kWh. (usually about THB 1500 / week with normal night time bedroom use of Airconditioners) Tip: To save electricity, switch off the Aircon when you are not in the room. Once you switch it back on, the room will be cool within 5 minutes. Close windows and doors when the Aircon is on. Set Aircon to 24-27 degrees. This is usually sufficient for most people as the major factor is for the Aircon to dehumidify the air in the room. Most people feel cold once the room is cooled to under 24 degrees. Many Tourists get sick due to Aircons being set too low. During Peak Season (15 Dec. - Jan. 15) minimum stay is one week.
