Thanks a lot - do appreciate your advice.

does your 1500 baht per night budget include the cost of the person you want to bring back to the hotel?

I can recommend some "lovely" bungalows on the far south of the island with very down- to- earth "guests" for the bargain basement price of .... well, fancy that - 1500 baht a night! No debauchery included!

You should have a look at the Phuket Palace, fantastic pool and no charge for a "guest" the rate includes breakfast for you both http://www.marimari.com/hotel/thailand/phuket/phuketpalace/

why would a hotel charge for an extra guest if you book a double-room and check in alone ? I stay at hotels in many Asian countries at least 70-80 days a year and always book and pay for a double room even I check in as a single person..... never had any problems bringing somebody to the room then, though it didnt happen often..... as long as that person is of legal age of course and carries an ID card..... always try to get TWO breakfast-vouchers when checking in, thus, if they security-guard or night auditor wanna start a riot at night, just show the 2 vouchers so he knows u paid for a double room and avoid an embarassing scene.....

In all your so many times staying you have never stayed in a hotel with a joiner charge.. Most of the higher end and even mid range places add a joiner fee.. Standard practice here. Bring a guest that isnt listed on the register at check in and they bill you.

I used to stay at this place Family Inn years ago and it was very good, it is on Prachanukrua Road. Prices seem to be in your range and when I stayed I never got charged for having "a friend" stay over.

stick to no name and I dare say you won't have an issue with guests.

Try this friendly hotel with swimming pool, where my family stayed in May, the rate for double is 1,000 baht with breakfast no extra charge for guest, just 10-minute walk to patong beach. www.andatelhotel.com

I have heard that some members in Thailand are getting blocked. I live outside the country and have no problems. I believe the solution is to go through a proxy server.

This place seems to fit your needs. It has location, location - on the beach road, a short walk to Bangla.
