[blue]Greetings Everyone,
FYI, I have created a new thread for discussing hotels in Phuket.
Thanks,
Jackson[/blue]
Will be staying in this Patong-based boutique-style hotel a month (July 19-August 19), so I hope it is as good as the website shows. Got a really good offer from the owner through E-mail -- 23,000 Baht Deluxe Room including breakfast and airport transfer. Anyone been there?
Oh and he confirmed it's 100% guest-friendly.

as i am still looking for a higher-end hotel near bangla which is girl friendly, here is a list posted in another forum, but dating back to april 2005.
however, through my extensive recent research, i can confirm that 90%+ of them are still gf, the other 10%, i didn't even bother to check (for other reasons).

so let me know if you know some gf hidden gem, may it be a boutique hotel or international chain.
thanks.
ps: and thx to admin for creating this thread.
Wow, thanks for sharing!
As per reports on tripadvisor (despite being mistakenly listed as being in Kathu instead of Patong), this is a hidden gem 200m south of Bangla road and 500m from beach.
Surely worth an inquiry.
Could you PM the owner's contact info? I will make sure to mention your name ;)

[url]http://www.baipho.com[/url][/QUOTE]I tried to book at the Baipho two years ago after reading about it on here. Unfortunately it was fully booked for Christmas but the owners had bought the hotel next door and were renovating that in a similar style. They called it the Baithong
[url]http://www.baithong.com/[/url]
I managed to snag the best room in the place and it was the nicest hotel room. I was quoted 3,000 Baht per night back then but it was Christmas and as I say the best room, in fact I have to say that it is one of the nicest hotel rooms I have ever stayed in.
I had a laptop computer and internet access at my disposal (in the room) and mounted on a carved wooden screen at the foot of the bed was a widescreen television.
There were tasteful leather chairs and another widescreen in the lounge part of the room. The only trouble was that sometimes the remote would turn on the wrong TV. The bathroom was plain but functional but there was a little step at the doorway that I tripped on a couple of times, so beware of when you have had a few sherbets.
It's location is pretty good for most places and is about a 3-5 minute walk to Bangla Road (depending on how hot it is and how fast you walk). The taxi driver from the airport had difficulty finding it but I guess that's because it was new. It's a good idea to tell the driver the street name as well as the hotel name though.
The only negative was that it was non-smoking but that was a small price to pay for a very luxurious and comfortable stay.
There is no reception at night so it can be a bit of a bugger to get in if you have had a beer or two.
Oh and most important for the folk on here it was 100% girl friendly.
The Phuket Reports and Phuket Hotels threads are getting MUCH less activity than other regions (BKK, Pattaya).
As I have booked 5 days in each city, I have started to question the idea of passing by Phuket.
What's the deal there? I hear it's more expensive than Pattaya but less than Bangkok. But is it the least interesting place from the 3 cities in terms of mongering? Or does ISG-Thailand's community simply tend to focus more on BKK and Pattaya for other reasons? (close community, living in BKK and/or Pattaya, etc...)
Same thing for Phuket Hotels. Admin has opened the thread recently (much appreciated), but other than my posts, it has had only 4 posts in 11 days, including one about another island.
PS: posted same message in Phuket Reporta and Phuket Hotels threads, as query applies to both.
I just booked my flight yesterday for Phuket (been there 10 years ago) and looking at the posts I can find I have narrowed down choices to Summer Breeze, Yorkshire Inn, Baipho or Baithong. I need to at least have a small desk for computer in my room and another sitting chair.
Would appreciate any new info or comparisons if anyone has been to more than one of the above. I am kind of leaning toward the Baipho & Baithong, however I would miss out on the gatherings that the other two hotels may have to over from being bigger.
Thanks
I am scheduled back to Patong the 1st week of november for 8 days. It's been 11 years since I was last there and would appreciate some info.
I have been looking at Yorkshire Inn, Summer Breeze, Baipho & Baithong. The later 2 seem smaller and a little low key. I would like the camaraderie of a larger hotel to meet people, however like my privacy also.
Does anyone have any experience in comparing these?
Thanks
I stayed at Summer Breeze for Monday, Tuesday and Friday night last week and absolutely loved it. The owner, Bill, is a stand up guy with a nice and dry sense of humour. Staff are all as friendly as can be, and are pretty easy on the eyes, for the most part.
My room was just over 1300B/night. Sleeping area + sitting area, with AC and two or three fans kicking around. Free Wi-Fi internet connection in the room and a computer downstairs to use if you don't have a laptop.
Only negative was the shower setup in the bathroom. Just couldn't get good water pressure or an appropriate water angle to get a satisfying shower.
Location gets top marks from me. I timed it at 6 minutes from my hotel room door to the door of Suzy Wong's A-Go-Go, walking at a healthy clip. Can't beat that.
Overall, great place to stay and I will do so again.
Great info and thanks for your response. Just wondering what size room you had?
Thanks again.

[url]http://www.baipho.com[/url][/QUOTE]Hi,
I stayed now 2 times in the bahipo. I realy like the place very much. The owner is a swiss guy. Very frindla and he as a very grate stuff. Very friendly and open. And it is yes a very decrete place. An 100% GF!
We had a boat tour, (we did this now 2 times, and it is phantastic) the ownder of the boar recomendet the place. Perfect!
I had the luck to have 2 of the very nice rooms. I stayed ine time in the "old" part of the bahipo, and I like this rooms much more, because they have a very big bath and an open shower. So there is lot of room for fun in there! What I like.
The other room I had was in the "new" part and was the jaccoosy suite. Very nice room, bice bathtub, but a small bath itselve.
You fine everything in the room, perfect internet (free) with a good connection, and all the rest from softdrink to condoms.
I also like the location, it is not loud in the night, but still 5 miuntes from bangla road and 15 srom the beach.
So I think a very good place to stay.
Have a lot of fun and say "grüzi" to the owner.
You can not stay any closer to Bangla Rd but without the noise then staying at the Summer Breeze Hotel. I made a reservation thru their website and I didn't have to use credit card. When I arrived I just paid in cash. 990 baht/ night for a decent room, nothing fancy. Their website says 2000 baht in peak season. I won't stay at this place for 2000 baht.
It is a small hotel, sorrounded by other boutique type hotels. Yorkshire Hotel is just couple of building apart.
The Hotel does not have a lift.... So, I have to walk up 4 set of stairs when I go outside. Their wifi is OK and is free. No Breakfast but there are plenty of restaurants nearby.
It is Girl Friendly, but they will keep the girl's ID.
I arranged to have the Hotel pick me up from the Airport which they did and I paid 600 baht for the transfer.
My experience with a hotel that was not girl friend friendly was something else. Checked in with Thai girl friend. Hotel made photo copies of our ID's.
The sign at front desk said, "500BAHT JOINER FEE".
One time the entrance security guard chased us at four in the afternoon to see if my girlfriend was registered. She spoke Thai to him and he left us alone. Next time at four in the morning he ran up 3 flights of steps while we took the elevator. He ran down the hall after us! I shouted out that this is my wife and go away in Thai, and he left. We hurried to our room because my girlfriend needed the toilet fast. No time to chat with a security guard!
The hotel manager told me to leave my key at the front desk to prevent this happening again. They never informed us about leaving the key when we checked in. These hotels can add these fees to your bill if they want to. Hard to dispute joiner fees if you check in the hotel by yourself and alone. Joiner fees are big money makers for hotels. Clear profit when put in the pocket and not reported for taxes.
Guys,
Heading to Phuket next week just to let u know Salathai Resort confirmed they are GF no joiner fees at rate 1600 THB superior room and 2000 THB For deluxe roomsincluding breakfast and free pickup from airport GR8.
Since i want a king size bed and the only rooms available are the deluxe ones i have opted to go with the deluxe anywayz its only 9 US$ difference.
On of my colleagues just returned and i told him to stay at Salathai although not a 5 stars but he confirmed that the staff are very friendly resort near bangla and the beach just 5 mins and the rooms are very clean and it is very cosy resort.
Cheers Guys cant wait for Phuket
