Baan Ton Sai is at the southern / Karon end of Nanai.. They have a pool and either AC or fan rooms.. I have no idea whats on thier website but some of my (long stay, Thai speaking) buddies use it as a ST hotel.. Rates this summer have been 200 baht for the fan room and 300 baht for the AC room.. For that price its a steal (pool, clean rooms, sheets changed) but its not 'resort' / classy quality..

I took an Ozzie guy I met at Muay Thai Boxing there about a month ago and he got the same rates (monthly 9k for AC, no discount below 300) but I cant think they would hold that over for high season.

There is a big sign at Andaman hill pushing 700 baht rooms, its not close to beach or bangla but its a nice hotel with a large pool and IMHO quality furnished rooms / service.. Also I know (if you really want to, and most would not) they have a 2 bed mini suite near the pool.. Its an odd shaped room and seems to be left until everything else is full but its twin queen beds and on the pool sauna level. I snagged it for a mate over Song Gran when rooms were hard to find and thought it a good deal personally.

Other Nanai Rd bargains are blue sky residence (pool), toy mansion, paddys inn etc etc.. These are not in the middle of the action but if you can ride a bike (while drunk) or take bike taxis they are bargains.
