Lawan Residence
I am staying at the Lawan Residence for the second time after arriving yesterday and just wanted to pass on my opinon of the place. Firstly the location on Soi Diving opposite Christens Massage ( The big Pink Palace ) is great for a newbie in Patong as it is only 2 mins safe walk from Bangla Road which is great especially after a heavy night out with a guest in tow ( no fee ). The rooms are clean, a good size, the air con works well and is quite. The prices start from 500 Baht I payed 750 in low season for a deluxe room going up to 1400 in High season. Gary the owner is a delight to deal with and even arranges taxi's to meet you at the airport which is a godsend for a newbie who doesnt know a Soi from a Sole. The rooms come with a stocked fridge and a nice touch is baskets in each room containing all the little things you may need late at night from packets of chips to some funny rubber products with durex written all over them. Changes that have happened since even my last stay 6 weeks ago - a new Italian cafe with great coffee and high speed computer access for guests including WiFi for people with laptops which I am using now to write this report. All in all highly recommend and worth a stay especially if you are finding it hard to find accomadation in high season. You can find their website with a google search.
Hope this helps
