Nigel and Richard, Sweden. After having experienced Ulf and Örjan's hospitality at home in Sweden, it comes as no surprise to us that they have made an absolute success of their enterprise in Thailand. They have also handpicked their staff to their exacting standards and we have always been met friendliness, helpfulness and politeness. Ulf and Örjan's extensive knowledge of Thailand and Phuket adds the ideal finishing touch to their professionalism. Experience tells us that we are not alone in our praise; there has been a constant stream of guests to their restaurant and coffee bar around the clock. Our genuine thanks to you all at Connect. We will miss you and most definitely return. |
| 27/12/98 | Sorry, no picture! | Ingemar, Thomas, Per and Mattias, Sweden. Patongs bästa! Ulf och Örjan har skapat ett mycket trevligt och välkomnande guesthouse. Med restaurang och väl fungerande internetservice kände vi oss "nästan som hemma". Med den välsmakande Thaimaten och det svenska kaffet ville vi ha stannat mycket längre än resplanerna medgav. Kom och prova! Många tack och hälsningar från Ingemar, Thomas, Per och Mattias. |

Rolf und Uwe from Wiesbaden/Germany Wir danken Jan und Ulf herzlich für 14 wunderschoene Tage im Connect Guesthouse! Hier ist man(n) 'Mittendrin statt nur dabei'! Und Jan und Ulf sind auch die richtigen Informanten für den 'Erstbesucher' von Phuket und/oder Patong. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und das Frühstück ist wirklich Klasse! Wer Lust hat, kann durchaus einen ganzen Tag (z. B. wenn es regnet) hier im Guesthouse verbringen: Das Frühstück, erstklassiger Capuccino sowie andere Kaffearten geniessen, Zeitungen lesen, im Internet surfen, zu Mittag und Abend essen und natürlich alle üblichen Drinks zu sich nehmen. Das alles wird, wenn nicht von Jan oder Ulf persoenlich, von dem wirklich sehr unaufdringlich hoeflichen und umsichtigen Personal serviert! Nochmals - herzlichen Dank an Jan und Ulf sowie das ganze CONNECT-TEAM von R o l f und U w e, Wiesbaden/Germany, |

Britt-Marie och Sara from Sweden. Connect, en svensk oas i allt det thailändska. Här har vi fått all den goda omtanke och service vi i ett främmande land så väl behövde. Ett hjärtligt tack Ulf och Örjan önskar Britt-Marie och Sara. |

Helen and Sue from England Found Connect by chance. Being on a low budget this place was fantastic value for money. Very friendly and extremely helpful service. The food has been fantastic, great yellow and green curries. We will miss our daily mocha hot chocolate. Thank you to everyone, especially Porn for the night out!!! |

Annsofie och Sven Gunnar Andersson, Upplands Väsby, Sweden Det här stället blev vårat från första dagen. Trevligt bemötande av Örjan och Ulf. Här fann vi den godaste tomatsalladen och "morning glory". Vi kommer att sakna eftermiddagspausen här hos er. |

Malmström, Södergren and Hjerpe from Sweden. Connect är en trevlig oas på Patong Beach. Mycket trevlig och snabb service när det gäller bar, restaurant och internet. Ägarna, Ulf och Örjan, är mycket trevliga och serviceinriktade och hjälper dig med allt ifrån internet till vad du skall se på Phuket. Ett trevligt litet guesthouse som kan bli ditt tillfälliga hem under semestervistelsen på Phuket. Ett ställe som du alldelses säkert kommer tillbaka till. |

Brad and Peter from Australia. G'day, we are Brad and Peter from Australia. Connect was a great source of information from the beginning, but became our regular dinner venue. Good value. Traditional Thai cooking prepared in a clean kitchen! The staff are efficient and friendly and it is a pleasure to be outside wathching the people. - Never a dull moment! We recommend it to everyone. Hooroo! Brad and Peter. |

Mark de Witt from Sydney, Australia (ex S.Africa) I very much admire these two Swedish guys who gave up their high-pressured jobs to run Connect Guesthouse. They provide a wonderful service for the gay traveller. My "penthouse" was everything a discerning guest could desire. The only thing I wasn't happy with, was having to leave. |

Anna (to the left) and Anna (to the right) from Sweden Connect är ett av de få ställen i Thailand där vi känner att man har lyckats kombinera god service med billigt och fräscht boende. Här får du veta vad du absolut inte får missa på Patong och Phuket i övrigt och här finns e-mail för oss som vill hålla kontakten med våra nära och kära hemma i Sverige. Tack för en trevlig vistelse! |

David from Toronto, Canada I will always have fond memories of my time spent with you. Often, I find myself daydreaming about my vacation spent in Thailand (Phuket). You truly made me feel welcome at your home. I would highly recommend your guest-house to anyone who is looking for an affordable and great place to stay, were they can easily let their guard down and have an incredible time. Your staff is genuinely friendly, your food is more than enjoyable and you guys actually have real personalities to boot. |

Neil from Amsterdam, Netherlands If ever I would wish to recommend somewhere to stay then this is it! I spent 5 weeks in the "low season" in the middle of "everything", all the bars, clubs (and the boys!) where within walking distance, and being able to get something for "breakfast" when "I" wanted it after a night out was great. I was so impressed with my holiday at Connect that I have even put my views into my new site "Paradise in Thailand". I will certainly be heading back to Paradise (and Connect) next year. a place where you have a name, not a room number! |

TR from Atlanta, U.S.A. My time in Thailand was limited to only two days, but the people at Connect made these two days very memorable and enjoyable. Thanks to everyone at the Connect Guesthouse. If I am ever back in Thailand I will be sure to stop and say hello! |

Alison and Claire from England Being travellers we shopped around when arriving in Patong looking for accommodation to suit our budget and Connect is certainly the best value for money. You even gain little extras such as clean towels, soap and toilet roll. Gaining access to the Internet was effortless since they supply this service also. Where Connect is situated is so convenient. There is easy access to the beach with night life just around the corner - but still being set back from all the noise. Connect is located in the heart of the gay community but you do not have to be gay to stay here as they welcome everybody. |

Dean from New Zealand Howdy to future guest. I'd like to thank Jan + Ulf for providing a great place to reside for a small part of my 6 week tour around Thailand. I found it to be one of the friendliest, and definitely the cleanest, ie towels, soap, clean beds, mosquito proof rooms and toilet paper. -"Its the small things that make the difference in my book". The Guesthouse is off the tourist traffic way a bit, and provides a bit of shelter from the mayhem. So if you are considering a resting venue, I'd recommend you consider this one also. Once again thanks to Jan + Ulf, and all the staff for providing a great service. Regards Deano |

Jenny and Louise from New Zealand. Its so great to travel and keep contact with family and friends. While doing so "Connect" was accessible, reasonably priced, good service, open long hours and friendly. Thanx a lot guys. Jenny Hugtenburg
A great service. The cheapest in town too! And it is so nice to receive mail while travelling. A bit of normality! |

Daniel from the U.S. I enjoy staying at Connect when I visit Phuket - friendly staff, good restaurant, and in the center of the local scene. Daniel Young |

Buddy from the U.S. Connect is a charming off-beat guesthouse in the heart of the gay section of Patong - only minutes from the Beach. It's run by two cute Swedish guys and a great Thai staff who make everyone feel welcome. A whole cast of characters drop in to have a cup of coffee, drop off their laundry, or surf on the Internet. You can also watch movies on those days when you just want to sit back and relax. If you're looking for a fun, personable, informal guesthouse and enjoy meeting all sorts of people - you won't be disappointed with Connect. |

Hi, we are from the U.S. and we visited Connect during our holiday in July 1998. We enjoyed our stay in Patong Beach and went to Connect every day for a meal or a drink. The club sandwich was delicious (even with tuna...) |
