Big Mango@88 House

A room for watching live shows.

Getting around was the biggest problem for me, especially since I was there for a concert. The place is tucked away, you can't really walk anywhere, and finding a motorbike is difficult. It felt like nobody wanted to come out there, and there weren't any food choices nearby. After 9 PM, unless you pick something up on the main road, there's nothing to eat. They should at least sell instant noodles. There's a shuttle, but it's expensive, and if you can't find one you'll have to pay for it. As a solo traveler, sharing the ride is hard to arrange. The room itself was clean and nice, and the staff were good. It might suit someone who doesn't need to go out at night.

The deserted building next door was pretty scary. The room was clean and had what I needed, and it was quiet, but it's way down a deep alley. You need a map to find the place, and getting around without your own car is difficult.

There’s a food center right at the alley entrance, and the market stays open until 3 a.m. Central Chaengwattana is across the road, reachable by crossing the footbridge. Back at the place, there’s parking, a kitchen, fridge, Wi-Fi and air conditioning, plus a comfortable bed. The fresh morning air was a real treat.
