July is part of the quiet season for this area of Thailand. Tempratures are mid 20's C! evening's are mild and a little rain now and then. the hotel des artiste is a wonderfull example of less is more!
fantastic setting - minimal rooms -12? i think. staff on hand when needed or just in background. Set at the end of walking street it is easy to traverse the small town from here. very cool boutique /guest house. bonus is the great live music scene to be found. already booked to come back.
