Last year around August I sent off an e-mail booking enquiry to the Green Mansion via their web site about 2 rooms for 3 weeks in November.
Exact dates were supplied along with the necessary details.
But did not get a reply.
Not sure what their story was.

I remember talking to a fellow BM about it last yeah on a totally unrelated thread. Here are the quotes about it:

It was really OK, cheap, clean and right opposite a massage place where I got to know a lovely young lady who gave me LT free on a couple of occasions.

I'd recommend......bit off the radar for Bangla and coming back after midnight you had to pass through "bandit" (katoey) country..........but for 1000bht per night for delux room. Bargin I thought

It didn't bother me, i was sick of running the shooting gallary through the katoey country, as you say. But I only had a real problem one night with them. The thing that annoyed me the most, was in peak season trying to walk anywhere at all along the beach road. It was impossible with so many 'tourists' just blocking the pavement up. You should of seen it on New Years!!!! In the end I was crossing over to the beach side then walking down to Bangla before crossing over. Even though some nights it took me ages to cross!

The rooms were large and nice. But the cleaning times were at times a bit funny!

In the end I walked on the outside of the tuk tuks along the road taking care not to get runover

I got fleesed by two LB's late one night; they took 3000bht out of my pocket and I didn't know until I got in

So next night I sneeked along the beach but was sooo pished I fell asleep.......not good

Just simplar and easier to take a gril home everynight.......they leave you well alone!!!

Hope these helped!
