Chinatown/Pahurat General guesthouses and hotels

The few budget hotels in this area are either short-term places best avoided or particularly grimy and poor value.

Aside from theses a range of mid-range guesthouses off Chakraphet Road mainly aimed at South Asians are also on offer. Up around Maitrichit Road there are a lot of cheap Chinese hotels, but these are virtualy all short-term places and best avoided.
