That's a useful website. I would never have known about it if someone had just used the search function and not posted a new thread. Oops, old ground, point proved.
I can recommend Casa Jip - 5 mins stroll from Bangla, 400 a night with haggling and, as I've just learned from that website, GF. A bargain. The best thing about it was the absolute lack of any noise whatsoever.
Is it always this noisy in low season? Whole buildings just disappear over night, to be replaced by a crack team of Burmese builders, banging and drilling from dawn til dusk.
Casa Jip Guesthouse is located in the heart of Patong Beach Thailand, close to all kinds of entertainment centers, shopping areas and a few steps from the beach.
