Guest Patexpat Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Trying to find a hotel in Sisaket - limited info on internet, just wondered if there anyone has any personal recommendations? Quote
pong Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 dear patexpat-to avoid people writing unnecessary and to avoid unpleasant surprises-just be more precise (also applies to anyone asking same-same) 1.it may mean both the town (=amphoe muang) or all of the province=chiangwat around. that may mean up to 150 kms away. 2.specify your price level or minimum wanted comfort level (as it seems to me most posters appear to be enormously fussy about it). In general-provided you book a double-provincial hotels will not bar any temporary ''guests'' whatever their sexe. You may be offered some company in fact when coming in alone. Another thing to note is that locally some hotels may mainly serve the short-time bisnis-that means banging on doors (time over!!) all night. 3.Thai people hardly ever would even think of using the web for that-they go and see-or some let agents do a booking. There will be plenty of hotels (in the city) in the low-medium and lower brackets and the odd more upmarket one. The lower priced will not have any web-presence. All will have space-well in at least 99% of cases. Quote
Gaybutton Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 For what it's worth, my GPS lists only one hotel within the city, however there seems to be plenty in fairly close proximity to the city. The one in the city is the Amonthep Hotel, telephone 045 679 131. I'm guessing your reason for going there has to do with visiting a Thai person, whether it is a boyfriend of someone else. If that is the case, wouldn't it make more sense to let him find a hotel or other accommodation for you? Quote

I am well aware of how Thai hotels operate thank you, and as there is very limited information available for ANY hotels in Sisaket (City or province!)on the internet - I am deliberately casting my net wide.

Thanks for that GB - have also found a couple of other hotels in the city now so am getting someone here to check them out on the phone. Your guess is partly right tho ... but past experience means I prefer to check out what is available myself. cheers Quote
