Checked out of the LK Renaissance around 10am for the road trip to Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport.
Had managed to make use of some Thai Airways frequent flyer points to cover return flights to Phuket and Chiang
Mai, which was a nice little bonus.
The flight to Phuket was on schedule & without incident, and I was soon in the car on the way to The Place to Stay. Previously I'd stayed at Patong Villa which was fine, however I was actually keen to assess The Place to Stay for myself, particularly given so many experienced forum members had been singing its praises.
I was extremely happy at 'The Place to Stay', and thought it represented good value for money.
Keep in mind that it's not a hotel, but a Guest House, and
Tom expects you lock the door at the entrance when you come & go, and switch off the light on the staircase, however that aside you're basically left to your own devices, and have no restrictions on how many LB's you bring back with you each night.
I stayed in Room Two, which had both airconditioning and a couple of fans which is a bonus if you don't like sleeping with the air conditioner running all night.
Here's a few photos which should give you a pretty good idea of the set up;
Sign in pub "In case of fire - break glass". Now my beer's gone everywhere, and there's still a fire.
