Houses For Short & Long Term Rental

Hi All
Have just returned to Melbourne today after spending a week at BB to attend my engagement party, and I'm very happy with BB and Mr. Wasn was most helpful, supplying some essentials we needed including a rental car. We took a single bedroom bungalow, hit the supermarket for some essentials and enjoyed our stay, we will be staying there on future trips.

The place sounds like excellent value.A house for 250/400 Baht a day with access to a pool.

Does BB come with TV Phone Bed linen ECT

Hi
BB does not have a phone and when I got there they supplied bed linen, pillows and towels which they change every 3 days, or upon request. I came with nothing and they also supplied cups, glasses and some cutlery. The kitchen has a fridge and an electric hot water urn, sink and table and chairs. We did a hit'n'run on the supermarket and got the vitals- coffe, suger, milk, dishwashing detergent etc. and as we weren't going to eat there we didn't bother with food. There is a large bathroom with basin, toilet and wait for it- a hot shower. The bedroom has a double bed, wardrobe and vanity dressing table, and a split system aircon that will cool the room down to walk in freezer temp. At the front there is a lounge room with 3 pce sofa, coffee table, tv (satellite) and a fan. I think I paid about B400 for this bungalow as they call it, there is a smaller one which is about B265 and there is a two bedroom one also. It's not everyones ideal accomodation, but I wanted something different from the big hotels and although it's out of town a bit, it is set in beautiful surruondings with a large pool and gym. I enjoyed it there and will go back each time I visit and it just happens to be about 400 metres from my g/f parents house..

I think the fact it has a large pool is worth the money on its own.

Thanks for the report first hand, Iam getting fussy in my older age 46, BBs looks like it is on a main road, what is the traffic noice like. I dont eat in for dinner, only have breakfast, so would be better than a hotel, and BBs is also close to the ring road easy to get to all the schools

Stayed at Chareon Hotel and found I could still hear the traffic noise,

Hi
I didn't mention that the kitchen has a gas stove, so you could easily cook breakfast. It's situated on a side road that's down another road about 300mtrs of the main road and you will not hear anything apart from the birds in the morning, it's very quiet and yes the pool is huge.

Probably a silly question, but are the prices inclusive of all bills etc??

Looks like a stunning place for the money.

Good question BB and I would like to add a question. How is the public transportation beings this is a bit off the city center? Is it available basically at all hours or does it dry up afer say 6PM?

Hi All
The price does include all bills etc. and the pool and gym are included. I didn't use public transport, but my g/f lives in the next street and sometimes has trouble getting transport when she walks down to main road, I think during normal hours is ok, but early in morning and after tea time is a problem, it's on the school route so normal hours is ok.
As I'm only there for short time (so to speak) I normally hire car and/or bike. The only other thing I can tell you is a guy with a tuk tuk lives 3 doors from bungalows and you might be able organise something with him for after hours transport or ring Mr. Wasn, he might know more.

Thanks Barry

A very informative reply, thanks a million Barry

I stayed there eight months when I first moved to Udon, not the guest houses but a rental house. It is quiet unless the army is playing with the field guns. After 6:00 P.M. there is no public transportation, the reason I bought my first motorcycle here. Mr Watt is a really good contact to have and a nice guy. He helped me get my first annual visa here, I still drop by from time to time just to say hello. Glad to hear he has a nice operation going.

Sounds like a great place to stay.

Good to hear that BBs is the place to stay, and on the quite side thanks for all the reports
