Do you know what makes a hotel stay cherishable? In addition to the utmost comfort and exemplary amenities, small inclusions such as unusual complimentary things make guests’ experiences special. Ex-Google MD Parminder Singh shared a similar experience about his trip to Thailand.

Taking to X, Parminder Singh shared a fun anecdote about a resort in Koh Samui.

Not all hotels allow guests to stay with their pets. On the other hand, many properties welcome everyone with their furry friends as well.

The most unusual complimentary thing one can get here is a goldfish.
