I have spent 6 winters in Thailand and I now live in Bangkok where I keep to a modest budget. I have come to Soi Ban Zaan, where Presley is located, 5 times, and stayed at Presley the last 3. These are simple and basic rooms, clean, comfortable, and well kept. For cost, service, comfort, and location it doesn't get any better. English is spoken well by all employees and any request or issue is responded to immediately. It is a perfect neutral zone between the more raucus revelry of a few nearby guest houses and a quiet pub style meeting place for locals and travelers from around the world. Soi Ban Zaan is a lively and energetic street and is for me the best possible location in Patong for its proximity to the most interesting nearby places especially the beaches. If you happen to be around for owner Thip's birthday in January you will be treated to a fun night of a live Elvis Presley impersonator. You will see me there as well since my birthday is the next day. Like many places it has a narrow bar running parallel to the street from which you can watch the world go by from dawn till the wee hours. You can wander around the neighborhood and find dozens of different and unique spots and diversions, and you should walk slowly so as not to miss any of them. Internet wifi speed is excellent, I tested it at as much as 20mbs. And last but not least the food is excellent and inexpensive, as is the beer, aroy mak mak, and always served promptly by a smiling and friendly staff.
