Accom in/around Ban Dung

by **sl1ppy** » March 12, 2006, 7:04 am

Hi
I'm intending to visit Ban Dung with my GF for a week (maybe two) soon.
Does anyone know of any accomodation in the area? I believe there are no hotels so room/house/whatever. Cheap is always better

thanks

There is one hotel in the middle of town "1 star" thats only because it hasn't fallen down yet.
Many resorts with bungallow type accomodation. Five Bells is OK, close to swimming facilities, you may have to book. PM me if you want a phone number.

Thais might sleep a lot but boy do they work when awake. They are in high demand in the production field where I live. most here wish they could keep up with them.

Thank you and will be there soon.

Been to the Alamo. John Wayne is Ok. Grew up with Wayne also. When growing up like Gil Favor on Rawhide. See how many of you old timers remember that one. Who was Gil Favors sidekick? Really like the Monty Walsh movie with Tom Selleck. Lee Marvin did good but no Selleck.

If some pub had a Saturday afternoon Cowboy Movie, wonder how many old geezers would show up?
