Th Prajak Sinlapacom; s/d 550/600B; )
This new place de-
livers what you expect at this price: good, comfortable rooms with a splash of style. But,
its location - central and near the action, but away from the sleaze - is its best feature.
Top Mansion
( 0 4234 5015; topmansion@yahoo.com; Th Sampanthamit; r 450-750B; )

Rooms are simple, but this
friendly place is better-than-average value and the best of the budget hotels near the bus

clean and priced right. The best feature is the neighbourhood full of university students.

A lovely boutique hotel that, for our money, tops the better-known and higher-priced
Prajaktra, with which it's often compared. Creative lighting, liberal use of real wood and
