Dear Lisa L,
Thank you for your time to share the experience of your recent stay at Pimann Buri. Safety is always our priority, therefore we would like to clarify about the villa lock. Actually the villa door can be locked with the villa door key. The lock is not automatic unlike typical hotel room, as our villas are like a home, but the entry door is lockable with the key. We also have 24 hour security guard at the entrance of the property. We are glad that regardless of the minor issue, you would stay with us again :-) Please keep in touch. We will look forward to welcome you back the next time you vacation in Krabi. Thank you very much.
