Would like to reccomend a nice guest house/hotel on Soi Chaiyapoon.

''The Chaiyapoon Inn''

A small place with only app 15 rooms. It's owned by a German Guy.

The rooms are more than adequate, and reasonably priced. (app 590 baht)
Also the hotel is 'guest friendly' no guest fees etc.

All the rooms have a dvd player, TV, Fridge, Table & Chairs, all have the obligatory room safe. You can find out more on the web site.

When I was there (in Dec 2008) its was staffed by 4 nice 'girls'

Tan or Pim on reception/bar. Saa cooks the meals you order, whilst Sue looks after the rooms.

I beleive, I was well looked after, so have no hesitation in posting this review.

The poster has no connection or financial interest, just hope that enough good
people will visit, and keep the place going through these hard times, and keep these girls in work.

Thanks for reading!

Sounds like a place worthy of a "look see." Thanks.

Hope the following helps anyone who doesn`t know where
soi Chaiyapoon is(many I would guess):

If you came up from soi Diana on 2 nd Road(where Kiss restaurant is and approximately opposite the rear entrance of
Mike`s Shopping Mall heading inland), at the end of soi Diana,
it`s sort of like a crossroads, turn right, then immediately
left, that`s soi Chaiyapoon.

Chaiyapoon Inn is roughly half way down on the left hand side.

A few other budget places to stay on the soi also.
The soi floods when it rains heavily(at least it used to)
is a bit " rough and ready" but has character IMO.
I like the soi, others wouldn`t.
Also home to Canterbury Tales Cafe, I`ve stayed there,
was fine and also Seaside restaurant2 and Neeroys, both
good value eateries.

I stayed at the Soi Chaiyaopon Inn, early June 2009.

Had to look quick for a hotel as my flight from UK had been brought forward by 1 day.

Only room available, apparently, was a De-luxe on the 3rd floor. 950 baht per night. The room itself was OK but overpriced IMO given the gaff is near the 3rd road end of Chaiyapoon.

Also it was apparent the room had not been occupied for a while as all the electrical plugs had been pulled on the TV, bed lights etc. but all worked once I plugged them in. Bathroom stank but was OK once the shower had ran for 30 mins. or so.

Staff friendly enough. Including the obligatory LB and young lady who would "Miss me too muttchh" even though I only saw her on the way in and way out. (How I miss Pattaya. Especially these genuine displays of "financial affection.")

Only stayed there one night then went down the Soi to stay in my pre-booked room above the "Chow Soy Restaurant". Better digs IMO and and only 550 baht per night.
