It's a old hotel not great but girl friendly, which is good.
You can stay at this hotel called Stoney Monday which is slightly farther down the road from Bangla that has bigger newer rooms with DVD and robes for 500bt a night or maybe cheaper if you negociate.Some rooms have nice mountian views. It's a new hotel so not many people know about it and it's girl friendly with no charge. Pool table and bar in lobby. It's website is stoneymonday.com, email is
stoneymonday@westnet.com.au. The owner is Rell and tell him Robert told you about his hotel and he can arrange a good rate for long stay.
Cheers!
