Guesthouses
Our favourite are these family-run options, usually in a converted house
or apartment building. Rooms range from basic (bed and fan) to plush (private bathroom
and air-con).

Hotels
From boutique to stodgy, hotels offer comfortable, mainly modern rooms, with
extra services like breakfast included in the rate and sometimes a swimming pool.

Hostels
As prices and standards within Thailand's guesthouses have increased, dorms
have become better value. Good for solo travellers.
Money
Most places deal only with cash. Some credit cards are accepted in high-end establish-
ments.
ATMs are widespread but there is a 150B foreign-transaction fee in addition to
whatever fees your home bank charges. To keep ATM withdrawals to a minimum, take
out as much cash as you feel comfortable carrying. Most ATMs allow 20,000B, which
should last about a week.
