Greetings. We're planning to visit my wifes family in Ban Chan which is just south of Kantharaom. We plan on staying in Sisaket and renting 4 or 5 rooms so family members from surrouding areas can also visit. I was looking at the Kessiri Hotel because it has a swimming pool and includes breakfast. but because the total for 4 nights would approach $700 I decided maybe not. Last trip 2 1/2 years ago we stayed at the Prompiman which was fine IMO. Plus there was close proximity to the market and now that I have a Sisaket map I see it's walking distance to a number of eating places ie Sugar Pub. I see theres a SP Botique at 300 baht and a North East at 350 baht also listed. The Prompiman is listed at 400 baht but 2 years ago my wife checked with front desk and insisted on a deluxe room which was I believe 800 baht. I guess I'm looking for any pros or cons against any of these choices. The pool would be nice for the kids but I see Surin has a water park we could take the kids to possibly with the money saved not staying at the Kessir . Mostof my wifes family have lived out in the sticks their entire life so a stay in a hotel in the city will be a big experience to them. Thanks for any advice.

Hi, I found SP Boutique very good and clean. I will always stay there when I come back to Sisaket.

Here the link to a thread I started before on that subject.

Stay away from the Kessiri, no pool to be seen, very run down, moldy and the wifi does not work above floor 3 which by the way is used for short time room rental (hourly.....)

Thanks for the advice and link to the other thread. Sounds like paying more as in the case of the Kessiri doesn't necesarily mean better.
