any advice please on where to stay. somewhere with maybe a pool , not 5 star but just simple and clean, failing the pool then just a decent simple guesthouse where has clean room and good wifi connection. ( please give prices. )

do not mind if its out a bit from centre as i will hire a bike. maybe around soi 80 if anything decent round there ?

i was in hau hin few months ago, stayed in a decent little place in centre but sitting at night in bar lobby there was rats running everywhere which i didnt like. i was actually scared to go out at night there was so many rats around this guesthouse , they left the bin bags out and rats were having a buffet.

thankyou in advance.

You don't mention your budget (ie ...how much you want to pay)

Why not have a look at Agoda.com or booking.com....Sure there is something there to fit your bill....check out customer reviews for "rats"

Jed Pee Nong Hotel - Hua Hin - (virtually opposite police station) met with my approval a couple of times - got a nice pool and an excellent position- reasonably priced around 1300 Baht a night.
