In-Depth Information
Dusit Hotel
( 0 4271 1198; Th Yuwaphattana; r 370-890B, ste 3000B; )
This reborn old-timer has
the loveliest lobby and cheeriest staff in town. As for the rooms, the more you pay the
more atmosphere you get, but each price category offers fair value. The restaurant is very
expensive but good, and the owner, Fiat, is a great source of local info.

( 0 4271 5356; Th Prempreeda; r 270-420B; )
LP is cheap, but not a cheapskate.
Rooms are good for the price and even the 270B fan rooms get free coffee, Oreos and a
little lower.

Th Robmuang; s/d & tw incl half-board 650/700B; )
Smart sums it up better than elegant, but that's really beside the point. What matters is that
these well-appointed rooms are rock solid for the price. Except those on the 1st floor,
which have no windows.
Eating
Mit Uppatam
(Th Sukkasem; dishes 30-200B; 7am-2pm & 4.30-9pm)
This traditional place is a popular breakfast
stop (with great omelettes) but it also has a big menu of curries, fish and more. The food
is so good that word reached Princess Sirindhorn, who dropped in to dine in 2008.
Nobody here speaks English.
