It was through a friend that i came to know about this great motel, AsiaLoop. A motel runs by an Italian, with most of the guests are italians as well. 600baht a night, with aircon, personal bathroom, a queen size bed and a balcony! Whats best is, there's a very nice beef noodles push cart right downstairs!
I came to know the owner, Marco. He's a great guy.. got to know him further, and he brings you out for dinner and drinks. Beach was 10mins walk away and clubs were 10mins away as well. Nice.
