Vinapu,
Allow me to join the others in thanking you for the bar and hotel reports. Next month will be my first trip to Thailand in many years---I had to give up overseas travel due to my mother's health. I taught English in Bangkok for a couple of years way back when.
I am tempted to stay at the Tarntawan, but I think I will end up at the Malaysia. I will also be in Cambodia for few days to avoid Songkran---I have already done it in Phuket, Bangkok, and Pattaya. One day of water-throwing is plenty for me.
