Ditto Shanti and Sri Ayuthaya – long standing, family run guesthouse; efficient, friendly and comfortable. Street numbers are slightly confusing since the Tavee is situated immediately behind the Sri Ayuthaya – also owned by Mr Tavee – down a quiet alley way set off the road. Another ramshackle, sprawling site - the corridors and staircases seem to head off into every direction and keep going even when you think they can’t go any further. All in all quite a few more rooms and definitely more choice than the Sri Ayuthaya - the rooms in the former may be slightly nicer but then they are closer to the road and therefore slightly noisier so swings and roundabouts really! Neither spot may have the reputation that Shanti has built up but both are clearly better deals and equally friendly.

Don't expect to get any sleep here. Otherwise, definitely friendly service is found and I agree with wix, it feels like homebase!

A great spot - 14th May, 2005
This is like a little oasis and a relief from the hectic pace of Bangkok life. It has a very homely atmosphere and is very clean. Excellent quality budget accommodation.
