Patong Merlin Hotel

[carrick_fullerton]

hi,

I am going to phuket and staying at the Patong Merlin Hotel, on Patong Beach in Jan 2005. I was wondering if anyone has stayed there and if they can give me any sort of feedback. Info that i am looking for includes:

1. is it close to night markets and centrally located;

2. is it of a high standard;

3. how far from the beach is it;

Cheers

1.. Yes

2...Yes

3...50 metres

But very expensive, you can find good accomodation much cheaper.

See Phuket Hotels at the top of this forum.

Thanks for that information....very helpful. One last question. How long would it take to walk from one end of the beach to the other...?Is it practical to walk or do most people get some form of transport?

Cheers

You can do a lot cheaper than the Merlin.

Serious long term punters will be found at the Andaman sea guest house, clean, cheap and very very very friendly. Canadian owned. If you save money on your hotel the more you will have to spend on the girls, and there are so so many right now.

[carrick_fullerton]

how much do the girls cost??

Depends on where you pick them up. Bar fines vary from 200-600 baht.

Playschool and rock hard gogos are 500-600 respectively.

Girls will go ST for 1000-1500, LT 1500-2500.

Don't pay more! Sometimes they ask for 3000. Forget that! Unless you're japanese!

Some girls are spoiled by them and expect more. Remember the average monthly wage of an educated thai person is 10,000. 1000 baht is a lot of money for them and most will be very happy with that. Remember paying more doesn't always get you more. Sometimes it just marks you as a sucker and get treated accordingly.

just a few questions...what does ST and LT stand for..and also what do the girls look like...are they good or bad looking?

ST= short time= couple of hours

LT= long time= all night

and also what do the girls look like...are they good or bad looking

Depends on how beer you've been drinking.

Seriously you've got all shapes and sizes.

There are plenty of beauties. Happy shopping!

[carrick_fullerton]
