1) Mayflower Grande Hotel - Lovely rooms, really great and competitively priced. The standard, for 990 baht were large. I'd say if you have the money, it'd be an idea to pay 1,190 baht a night and you'll get a comfy looking sofa. The suite rooms with sofa has beds for 3 or 4 people and costs 1,800 baht a night. If you're a backpacking trio, this might be the place to splurge as you'll get luxury for only 600 baht each! The rooms have great light wooden floors and bathtubs. I hope they don't put their prices up! TeL: +66 (0)74 234 888 / 230 120 Email: mayflowergrande@hotmail.com Address: 150, Sangchan Road.

The following places are more apartment places where you can rent for a good price monthly:

50) Chudchada Place - nice, modern and clean looking apartment complex with daily rooms at 450 baht and monthly stays at just 4,000 baht. It gets full here - I couldn't see any of the rooms because of this - they didn't have a room free for a further 2 weeks. Certainly a consideration I think, especially for longer stays. It's on a quiet street, a few hundred meters from the bus station. Tel: +66 (0)74 420 444 Address: 54, Thungsao 1 Soi 3 Road.

51) Cosy Place - Large, new, apartment building with a clean feel to it. Rooms are 500 baht daily but monthly costs are 6,000 baht (4 months and over, 5,000 baht).

Security is very good here. Wifi for your laptop is 400 baht a month, of 5 hours will cost you a reasonable 50 baht. A problem you might have is the distance from the center of the town - it's quite a way out so a motorbike or bicycle would be very handy. Tel: +66 (0)74 245 000 Website: www.cosyplacehatyai.com.
