Ive stayed at this hotel many times, used to be good when Tonys Place was open...........................still a decent hotel.....................also not too far to walk to Nan Hotbread for brekky
Funny story, probably 6 or 7 years ago there was about 4 or 5 of us staying there, had ridden up from Chiang Mai, anyway we arrived about 3pm, we all agreed to meet downstairs at 5pm and wander off for a few beers........................................I was ready way to early, about 4pm so I was wandering around downstairs looking at all our bikes, I was on a newly released Honda NC700X with the DCT (rental) and a Thai man came over and was asking me about the bike, out of the blue he says he has a big bike, I asked where was it, nextdoor in his warehouse he said, so he took me to show me his bike.
The bike was an early eighties CX500, the shaft drive one with the engine cylinders poking out eachside, he tried to start it but not enough grunt in the battery.........................He had an old Japanese car there aswell and an original Jeep from the Vietnam war era...........................He told me the story on how he went to Laos and bought the Jeep, then drove it back to Nan, way back in the mid seventies, anyway he said this one goes and he wanted to take me around the block in the car..............................so off we go, being LHD I was in the passengers seat sitting on the right and we went around Nan for a drive....................came back about 5pm and my mates were out front waiting for me, the LOOK IN THERE EYES WAS PRICELESS, they thought I was driving ...............................whose car are you driving Heineken they yelled out lol, wasnt till they got closer they realized I was passenger, I do have some photos somewhere, great times
