Where to stay for New Year

[neekolas59]

Hi
I've left booking a hotel a bit late, coming to Patong 30th Dec, back to Bangkok 6th Jan.
C&N Hotel, Swiss Garden and Orchide Residence are full.
Replies from Victoria Guest House near Soi Patong Tower has a small room available for the first few days, with maybe a larger room later, and Capricorn Village in Rat-u-thit has rooms at 1,000 baht a night.
I'm waiting to hear from Orchid Guesthouse in Soi Saensabai, and from the Expat in Soi Sunset.
Anyone know the Victoria or Capricorn Village. Any other recommendations in the 1500 baht / night range, within 10-minute walk of Soi Bangla?
Thanks
Nick

I've got 5 days in the Expat 30th December - 3rd Jan. When I enquired about extending the stay, they told me there was no need to book as there would probably be room. Expat is not as popular as it used to be. I intend to look around for somewhere else once I arrive in Patong.

Or www.stoneymondayhotels.com

The owner or part owner is a BM (Onlocation) and he said they will give 10% discounts for BMs off the websire price.

Stoney Monday is more like a 10min jog to get to Bangla

Well if you have legs like Peter Crouch you might make it in 10mins

Dawsey is right, Its more like a 15/20min walk away from Bangla or 2mins in a Tuk-Tuk

If you are really struggling for a place to stay, then why not get a bar girl, and before you bar fine her, tell her you want to stay at her place . If she shags you for 1,000 baht then you have had free accomodation and a fcuk !

That's a nice idea, not sure my TG would be up for it. Mind you, the first time i met her was a threesome with one of her friends............

Ask around when you arrive. Even in peak season, someone ALWAYS knows somewhere to stay, if you are not too fussy about mod cons like air con, hot water etc.
