Friendly place with good coffee and pastries at reasonable prices. A bit crammed for longer stays, so hardly suited for digital nomad sessions.
Cafes
Excellent barber with bargain rates (80 Baht for a man's haircut in early 2015), clean and friendly.

Old classic but definitely run down and in need of a major overhaul. Some rooms are good, most are unacceptable. Update 2017 The bad rooms have gotten worse, now they even save by not putting soap in rooms and neglect cleaning. The only highlight is the pool area. It's a bit better than sleeping on the street but that's about it.
