hi mandarin.i have only ever stayed at salathai hotel once and never tryed any other hotels in patong but i was very impressed with the salathai.its only small hotel about 30 or 40 rooms,nice pool with jacuzzi.the rooms are only small but very clean and modern,private balcony,satalite tv,mini bar,nice bathroom.the resturant is very nice aswell and the staff are very friendly.the big plus point is that its guest friendly aswell so no charge for taking them cute thai girls back for the night,all they need is some id from the thai girl.its only 2 minutes from the beach and 5 minutes from bangla rd so your close to the action.
