I love it here. I'm settled in to a lovely, small, Thai guesthouse down a side lane in the old city. It is named Chedi View and indeed I can see a very old Chedi from my window - a most venerated part of the temple named Wat Chedi Luang. It is lit up at night and gives a glow to the surroundings. This house has many balconies and so I am outside a lot listening to the birds while I have my several cups of tea each morning. There's a large outdoor kitchen and seating areas all around the place. There are only about 12 rooms and the guests feel like a happy family. Certainly the owners ( both of whom were teachers and speak English) do their best to make all of us feel very much at home. What a lucky find and at such a reasonable price so I will keep it on all year and not have to pack up any more:)
I have posted a few pictures of my new little room above.
