When you click on reviews, you need to sort by "newest" for current reviews, which their are about 15 of.

Thank you - that's a bit better.

:shock: No bum guns in the toilets - whatever next :laugh:

General consensus from my reading of the reviews is free entrance for all, 70% occupancy and a touch expensive.

I'll probably wander down at some point for a look.

Wife and myself popped over for a stroll around. It's an OK place, especially for y'all living local, if bored and want to get out of the house. We came up from Amphur Muang, so not worth a special trip, but wanted out of the house and popped over to BluPort while there, for another munch & shopping.

Monday, about 1400 hrs, and walkway was in the shade, nice plus. When leaving, the mere 50 meters to the car, and that broke a sweat, since sunny & warm. Quite the noticeable difference. Wouldn't make a special trip or return visit, but it's a 100 kms drive for us, one way.

Definitely made you appreciate the shade and nice breeze. Best to go on weekend though, may be crowded, but guess all the vendors would be open. More than a few shops (signed) weren't open. Perfume & clothes, so no loss for us. A few other shops were vacant. More than enough shops selling clothes, along with a few selling your HH t-shirts & HH labelled merch. Usual fare, and a couple beer vendors, if wanting to sit & sip a couple. Coffee & smoothies of course.

Pretty much usually fare for 'tourist' market. Enough food vendors, but don't expect too much. Closer and more if you turn left after main entrance. Either way, it's about a 1-5 to <2 km loop around. Depends if hungry, which way to go. More choices left, and should be plenty of seating, even if crowded.

We had nice bowl of noodles, though everything else was pre cooked and sitting out, so better also on the weekend for food turnover. Place was nice, clean, and easy stroll.

Picked up some tasty cashews, and another vendor had some very nice looking croissants & coffee/tea, if wanting. Along with a tasty looking ice cream vendor.
