The Royal Diamond is located near the by-pass (tel: +66 3241 1061). It is not especially convenient, as is not close to the market area (although it is close to Khao Wang). You may be able to find transportation if you try hard. You will not find a room for less than 1200 baht.
The hotels in the market area are a better option, as they are mostly old converted shop-houses, aimed at both tourists and commercial travellers.
The Rabieng Rim Nam Guesthouse is located on Chisa-in Road near the bridge over the river (tel: +66 3242 5707). This provides inexpensive (although noisy) accommodation for less than 300 baht, and also offers local tours and motorbike and bicycle rentals. The Rabieng Rim Nam provides a great place to stay provided you bring ear plugs. The staff is very friendly and speaks English well enough. If you choose to stay here, you should check the walls of your room VERY carefully as there are many peepholes between at least three of the upper rooms.
The husband of the guesthouse owner "TOM" is a jungle guide and co-operate works with "CHOK" his friend who is fluent English speaking tourguide. They offers expensive trips into the the KAENG KRACHAN NATIONAL PARK and parks nearby, see more information at [www.rabiengrimnum.com]. Also local wildlife can be seen right out the window of the restaurant... giant freaking water lizards. It is worth to sit and drink a big Chang (beer). By the time you're finished you'll no doubt catch a glimpse of one of these amazing and dangerous animals.
There's Internet access, rental of motorbikes (manual/automatic 250B/350B), bikes, and laundry service (5B/piece). They can also provide you with a map and plenty of information for you to go around and explore.
