Something like 14 Aussies died in a year, so I heard.
I was there 4 years ago, just on a visa run hopped on the bus there instead of the capital to kill some time, ended up staying 4 nights. We got a room with a similar view that you posted, nice little guesthouse for 400 THB. Watching all the drunk kids was fun. I did a thread on this trip too

Looks like it might be worth another visit... hopefully you can still get weed and opium on tap.
