Now I'm wishing I made these videos more detailed, longer, with commentary etc...

Not the only one !

But if one is staying the wetter months , the new villas may work better as only in one " block " . Or if one is somewhat handicapped and / or rather senior .

The old villas have more charm , character , aesthetically pleasant Thai & sense of place . While for the new villas , one has almost to be inside to know one is at Puri or on a Thai island .
Stepping out of one ' s car or buggy , you can gather though that your villa is special just by looking at the " entry " area .
Been in about all & stayed in too . Some have ' better ' pools than others - shape , size , views , access , etcetera .
Villas definitely way better than Trisara ' s . Trisara beach is rather corally , pebbly too . Speaking from experience when I forgot to wear my swimming , scavenging ' booties ' .

Longer & perhaps separate videos of more villas will be helpful . Next visit
