There was a thread on this I think do a search, it's up on the hill thats the biggest problem to far away. Once you have stayed so close it's hard to comprehend walking to far or catching a tuktuk.

There are many good hotels in Patong just email them to find out about joiner charges etc.

Those deluxe rooms do look good with the view let us know if you stay there and what it's like.
