P.S. how is the weather in middle of Oct.

Thanks

Stayed there July 2004, nice hotel and rooms, booked it cos I thought I would like to be away from bangla etc to chill out but the distance to everything was a problem in the end, its a long walk and you have to run the gauntlet of the suit sellars every day, usually took a tuk tuk at 100 baht to bangla. Not guest friendly they tried to charge me 1,000 baht per night for the girl, I negotiated down to 500 baht by saying see was my girlfriend, second night i had to say well yes I have many girlfirends, they agreed my deal of 500bt but I've never been back because of location and joiner fee. Got like a policeman who takes the id cards and signs them out on the following day and never did that very nicely, made the girls uncomfortable with his attitude. Book somewhere more central with no joiner fee.
