i guess its not permitted to post URLs here, so I recommend u to perform a google search on "nasavegashotel". 2 huge highrise buildings, hotel and serviced appartements. the daily rate is just 590, but no BF included. its at the beginning of Ramkamhaeng road, so not the specific area u require, but there are buses aplenty passing in front of the hotel, so u can do ur survey-tour on a budget (buy the 50-Baht "busroutes in bangkok" - Map first, its the best map of greater BKK anyway).

as u r not eager to mix with the Khaosan-Trash (which I can fully understand ), this hotel could be a "value-for-money" that is hard to beat in BKK.

plenty of appartements available in Ramkamhaeng area as well, starting at 2.000+ Bt. (in case u r on a budget). on the downside, traffic is horrendous at Ramkamhaeng, though....

Malaysia Hotel comes to mind as being good value, for your price range and very central (on Rama 4, not far from Silom). It's pretty gay though now. That could be a plus or minus for you.

Try a google search for Bangkok City Suite and you will find their website. The cost is 750 baht a night. The rooms are clean and good a/c and if you have a laptop the wireless is free in the room. It is a minimum 10 minute walk to the BTS and more likely 15 minutes unless you dont mind breaking a sweat.

I enjoyed my stay there last year and ended up staying for a month and a half.

Cheers

actually i stayed at bangkok city suite before and sure to say i kindda liked it, but this time it increased to 750 (was 650 previously) so the 100 baht difference kindda makes a big differences when you're staying for a week or more.

Was pretty sure there are other hotels around the 650 range other den just bangkok city within tha area?

just cant seem to find em on the net...

100 baht still buys you a good meal in Bangkok........

or a couple of large beers.

My thoughts exactly. Whilst a goo dmeal can indeed be had for Bt100, coming to Bangkok and having to play with Bt100 a day over just one week is, well, worying ?

Bt100 a day over a year I understand but Bt700 over a week ?
