Unfortunately, I returned back to the USA April 6, after getting to Thailand March 21. I stayed a few nights at a nice place down Naklua, but it's far from any action. After two nights there I checked Apex Hotel on Second Road, which is where I've stayed 4 or 5 times. They remembered me and got me one of their 450B rooms, which aren't bad, but I wanted the marble tile floor room next to the pool, which cost 600B. One thing I've noticed is that all the rooms have been repainted. When I first stayed there in 2005, the walls were in need of some new paint. Effective April 1, they permenently raised the prices 100B. For me, Apex is still a bargain, centrally located, yet quiet, and yes, the ladies do have to leave their IDs. I had the same lady for 2 weeks, and next time I won't. She's nice, but jealous, scared that I would have spent my money on a short time. Stick to many, bounce off them and on to another from now on. It's much more enjoyable.
