Wi-fi Or Lan In-room Bangkok

[girlx]

Hi all- I am in Bangkok working and though I found a great hotel with a reliable wi-fi connection (Om Yim), it is fully booked for the next week or so. I need to move out tomorrow. I was referred to Bangkok City Suite on Petchburi but they are also booked. Can anyone recommend another place that has a reliable internet connection in-room, is close to the Skytrain, and isn't too expensive? Thanks for any help...

I know the Pinnacle ... pretty close to you has internet. not sure if it is wifi etc ...

[girlx]

hmm thanks... the places in the links you mentioned are booked SBK, and pinnacle does not seem to have internet in-room. any other suggestions?

[jdinasia]

99% sure they do (Pinnacle Lumpini) give 'em a call and check

[girlx]

thanks for your help jdinasia, you are probably right, but i called and it says their office closes after 5:30p, so unfortunately i can't know for sure what they offer in time.

for future reference, if anyone else has the same problem, there are lots of nice places that offer Wi-fi or LAN in-room for cheap, but all of them happened to be booked right now. make sure to book way in advance!

here are a few:

Majestic Suites Suk Soi 4

Bangkok City Suite Petchburi Soi 1

Om Yim Lodge Narathiwat Rd (across from Chong Nonsi BTS)

A-One Inn Soi Kasem San 1 near MBK (least recommended of this list)

... & supposedly Erawan House off Pra Athit Rd. near Khao San has wi-fi for guests as well but can't verify this with the staff on the phone because they appear to be hopelessly stupid

[girlx]

oh also supposedly Honey House as in the 2nd link up there from SBK but if this is the place I am thinking about you couldn't pay me to stay there

If not too late, here's a suggestion from a friend down in Hua Hin:

Ruamchit Travel Lodge. The hotel doesn't host the wifi but you can pick it up (from where?) in the rooms. Several nets turn up and some are open. There's a small cyber cafe in the parking lot.

Ruamchit Travel Lodge 662-252-6403

Girl X, The Prasuri Guesthouse (85/1 Soi Prasuri, Dinso Road, Phra Nakhon (Tel: 0 2280 1428 Fax: 0 2280 1428)) near Democracy Monument has wifi that they charge 20 or 40 baht an hour for. I discovered that once you get the login, you can use it in your room, even though they say it doesn't reach there. They have A/C rooms for 400 baht.

Always better to state your budget. Use a place on Petchburi that has in room LAN and everything you can think of, but is 1650 baht.

would be nice if you would post the name for future reference.

I was recommended the Ibis Siam on Rajaparob Rd but apparently wi-fi is 200b/hr. there so that's not worth it. I decided to go with the Erawan House on Soi ChanaSongkram off Pra Athit Rd. This is one of the best deals, actually. A great room for 850b/night with a good wi-fi signal and very helpful staff (sorry for what I said before ). You pay a one-time fee of 100 baht to get the WEP key so you can use the service.

The Marriott in Sukhumvit soi 2 has a strong, fast and open wifi signal. Any hotel within 250 metres can pick it up, possibly with the assistance of the Hawking HWU8DD antenna and a clear line-of-sight. The Rajah and Nap Inn in soi 4 come to mind. If you feel sorry for them earning $150 per night per room, you can always drop in and buy a coffee.

Sorry, who has booked all the rooms? It's a low season, no holidays yet in Japan/Korea/China, many hotels do noisy (jack hammer type) renovations just about now.

Call a travel agent or visit some online booking site - the rooms could be sold, could be true, but to the agencies and the hotels just know "sold out" while the agencies holding the rooms could be struggling to fill them.
