Thank you for the replies. I was originally trying to book 10 nights at the Katathani and then 12 at the Merlin. If I can book the Katathani I would then like to book something in Patong just in case I prefer it to Kata. I never get bored in Patong and am concerned that it might be a bit too quiet in Kata ? The only thing I know about Kata is Mom Tris restaurant. So I still have to decide about Patong. All help greatly appreciated. Thanks. Michelle
