Book a different hotel.
I booked the rooftop room, which is quite expensive, but I figured I wanted a nice big room with wooden accents....
In actuality, the "room" is a wooden shack, one of two, perched upon the roof. For some reason the owner did not make this fenced-in shack half the roof in size, and instead built a wooden fence around it, pushing it back into a corner, and cutting off the view on the "front".... Why he didnt extend the fence to allow for a "yard with a view" is beyond my understanding... And worst here is that the fence is locked with an old metal key, but the doors of the "room" (shack) do not adequately close and so cannot be locked....
The "room" (wooden shack) is actually just big enough for the old broken double bed with the nice blood-spotted towel arrangement. There is no night table / bedside table. Three and a half walls of glass sliding doors which close improperly, a small TV, an old mini-fridge, and an old air conditioner. The "bathroom" is actually just a half-broken shower fixture and sink and toilet on the rooftop, literally coming out of the side of the building, and so you shower open-air on the roof, with a vague privacy-screen made of some aluminum flashing. The shower has no water pressure and limited privacy, as the owner is making another rooftop room on the building next door, and the workers (and future guests) would easily be able to see a half-naked showering guest outside these wood shacks.
But perhaps worse than all of the problematic architecture was the sleep: because the doors do not fit properly, mosquitoes come to feast all night, and then at 5:30am the mosque behind the hotel has the call to prayer (which is beautiful in a way, but totally breaks your sleep). The construction workers, grinding and pounding the whole morning after that, were the cherry on top of this sh*t sundae of a hotel experience.
If I was you, I wouldn't pay anything more than 100-200baht for this unique rooftop shack camping experience. Or, better yet, give the whole hotel a miss.
