Report from Bangkok Post dated 21 October 2011 :-

Consumer goods shortages in South Thailand

People in southern Thailand are facing consumer goods shortages because of the increasing demand for goods for flood-hit areas to their north, reports said on Friday.

The intense flooding from the North into the Central Plains, and now Bangkok, has prompted many people to hoard goods.

To add to their problems, authorities have warned some provinces in the South to brace for flash floods and forest run-off this month from heavy rain.

Shortages of drinking water and other consumer products have been reported in many markets in the South.

Shopping malls in Songkhla's Hat Yai district have to put up 'out of stock' signs and apologise to their customers, the reports said.

[U]REMARKS :[/U] If you plan to travel to Phuket, Hatyai, Danok and Sungai Golok, don't forget to bring along mineral water and lots of instant noodles

The 3 hotels that I stayed all have good wifi, so cannot say which is best

River Inn (aka River Grand Suite) - 450 bahts per night
The wifi is good, fast and complimentary.
Hotel is a little old (actually quite old) but they did tried their best to renovate and make it comfy. Economical, but make sure you asked for kingsize bed.


Winstar (next to Diana Shopping Center) - 770 bahts per night
I wouldn't recommend this hotel. Kind of funny, my gal was having a massage, and I was resting in it... suddenly the door opened, the house maid stood there and said, need to replenished the minibar and walked in. ???? can imagine, if we were making love, could have been funny. My kuku, for sure will do a turtle on me... me not a 3some old man.....
She left without an apology, my gal was like WTF, she was topless, masseur was like, "did you order a 3 some??"

Wifi was good..... complimentary


The Great Hotel (now staying) - 650 bahts per night
Best so far, real nice and have that 'happy' feeling to be in this room, now. The theme is white.
Wifi is good, fast and complimentary.

All 3 above have Golf Channel, I must be bored..... hee hee

other hotel with good and free wifi that I stayed before,

Mayflower (900+) One of the best hotel I stayed in Hatyai, better than the 3 I stayed for this trip. Wifi is one of the best.

New Seasons (900+)
A good alternative, if Mayflower is not available. Wifi is a bit suspect, on the last occasion that I stayed there. Hope they have improved.

Crystal Hotel (800)
Another very nice hotel, would have been my 4th choice for this trip (not sure yet) A bit out of the way. If you have transport, this is quiet and away from the crowd.
Wifi is good and complimentary.

Garden Home Hotel. (645)
A bit old, but still a cozy hotel, near SKY.
Wifi (complimentary) have improved on my last visit.
Have a very nice and expensive spa.. Kiss Lounge (I heard) have new stock of SYTs from Bangkok.... but last I was there the start price is 3700 bahts. They are supposed to be one cut above the all the farms there.

dam, I must be bored typing all these.... hope this help...
