favourite hotels/accomodations in thailand ??

and why?

for me the best hotel I have ever stayed in is the Irish Clock ( www.irishclock.com ) in Udon Thani , for room (lovely decor , similar to the chedi on Phuket , good air-con and those big sunflower type showers in the hong nam) , staff friendliness , food (best full english i've ever had and teerak enjoyed the Thai food here) , beer (draught kilkenny @ 125 baht/pint , brought to your room) , prices (850 baht , inc. the breakfasts) , location (2 mins walk to the bars and the main shoping centre).

in Phuket
Paradies Zum Ross Bungalows ( www.phuket-paradies.com ) at Nai Harn/Rawai/Chalong area , great bungalows of a very high quality , German owned and managed , loads of space with living room , bedroom , bathroom , kitchen and terrace , swimming pool , very peaceful location ,

JW Marriott in Phuket is one of my favourites with the right company - nothing to do there but relax and be pampered. Makes a nice 3-4 days break from all the action.

I hesitate between Bel Aire Princess and Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit.... Bel Aire Princess is cheaper but Sheraton provided a wider range of amenities in room (i.e.: bath salts). Rooms were large and comfortable in both cases. Staff was very friendly; especially in Bel Aire.

To some degree my choice would depend whether i'm checking in w/ someone or not...

Phuket
Hilton in Karon - great for bringing a g/f
Salathai in Patong - great staff, good location, nice pool, nice room

BKK
Majestic Grande - super location, good staff, modern room


Hua Hin

Hilton - pretty darn nice room, pool, beach, disco,location

PTTY

Areca Lodge - great pool, up and coming soi, friendly staff

Same same Jonny. Posh hotels don't impress me particularily. Im only there to sleep overnight. Rather spend my cash on better things than a posh bedroom. Nice if you are loaded I guess, but I look for VFM.

Meant to say that the hilton phuket was a great place to bring a girl friend i.e check in with her (room and service nice for a romantic time). That said, the hilton didn't bat an eye when i had to carry a t/g in over my shoulder while i was with my g/f one night. long story.

The hilton in hua hin was very girl friendly as well. I've found the nicer hotels to be cool with this.

Pool is a big thing for me when on holiday though..

If I was purely about budget theres plenty of rooms on Nanai at 500 a night.. 8 - 10k per month.. Some balance of luxury and location is always at play..

Stayed in the nanai area many times and had nice rooms (one had a pool available also) for 500 bath a night. But each to its own....
