dutch 0 #20 Posted October 21, 2005 before my house was ready,I spend a lot of time at Sima Thani. Easy to find on the outskirts of Korat city ( mainroad to Bkk) Limited English,but friendly staff Reasonable good buffet Reasonable prices ( from about 900-2500 baht for resp. room / suite) Simple furnished Damaged interior (wall paper),carpet Very limited TV access Most of the time ,I always enjoyed my stays (from a couple of days till a couple of weeks) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dereklev 94 #21 Posted October 22, 2005 Pretty much like spending a wet Sunday afternoon in Rotherham, I'd imagine I didn't realise Rotherham could be so much fun.... There is a secret Korat that only we who live here know about... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buadhai 3 #28 Posted November 2, 2005 Will I find taxis or motorbike taxis outside these places? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Tuktuks and motorcycle taxis in the usual places. No "real" taxis in Korat. (Well, there is one guy who parks near The Monument who has a cardboard "taxi" sign sitting on top of his old car....) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stumpdog 0 #29 Posted November 2, 2005 Thanks again guy, I don't suppose anyone would know if either offer internet access? The Sima Thani claims to be a 5 star, what about the Princess, are they both of a similar quality? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
