( 0 5569 7045; www.vitoonguesthouse.com ; 49 Rte 12; r 300-900B; ) The better of the
two budget options within walking distance of the old city, the fan rooms here are OK, but
the air-con rooms, in a newer building, are spotless and represent a good deal.

Orchid Hibiscus Guest House
( 0 5563 3284; [e-mail] ; 407/2 Rte 1272; r/bungalows 900/1300B;
) This collection of rooms and bungalows is set in relaxing, manicured grounds
with a swimming pool as a centrepiece and the self-professed 'amazing breakfast' (100B)
as a highlight. Orchid Hibiscus is on Rte 1272 about 500m off Rte 12 - the turn-off is
between the Km 48 and Km 49 markers.

Eating & Drinking
A wise choice for cheap eats is New Sukhothai's tiny night market MAP GOOGLE MAP (Th
Jarot Withithong; mains 30-60B; 6-11pm) .

Dream Café
(86/1 Th Singhawat; mains 120-250B; 5-11pm; ) A meal at Dream Café is like dining in an
antique shop. Eclectic but tasteful furnishings and knick-knackery abound, staff are equal
parts competent and friendly, and, most importantly of all, the food is good.

THAI $$

Chopper Bar
(Th Prawet Nakhon; mains 30-150B; 10am-12.30am; ) Both travellers and locals congregate
at this restaurant/bar from morning till hangover for food, drinks and live music. Take ad-
vantage of Sukhothai's cool evenings on the rooftop terrace.
