Can that figure in the article - 75-100 tourists a year dead - be accurate?

thanks for the precise info on the rooms. the hotel looks good, and good value on the website, but nothing like a recommendation here.

Does anyone know what, if anything, the standard room at the bvp has in the way of a kitchenette - presumably there is at least a fridge? Intending to take a standard room for a month, but thought maybe it may be more economical (apart from other advantages) to take a studio and periodically bring in food, since I intend to stay a month and the accommodation costs at bvp are pressuring my budget. Is their food/restaurant (thai rather than western) reasonably priced and reasonably good - ie without big hotel premiums over an outside restaurant? Views and advice will be much appreciated.

samsonite. thanks for removing the final hesitation.

pen, thanks for the info re mac. bhcanon

I've booked at the BVP starting 24th. Couldn't get the room etc pictures on my computor - maybe because I've got a mac. But the good reports and the wifi internet were decisive for me. Is their wifi fine with a mac? (Maybe stupid question, but I'c computor illiterate). And does anyone know if the wifi really works in the rooms, or just the lobby? Seem to recall reading on another thread that they will allow just one girl to be taken to a room. Does anyone know this is or isn't true? Their e-mail did say that just one breakfast is provided, which is reasonable as long as they are
