tomazbodner Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Mostly military land around there. I'd say Gold Orchid on Vibhavadi Rangsit road would be most decent hotel around the university but it's on the other side of a very busy road. Gold Orchid Hotel 375 Vibhavadi Rangsit Rd Samsen Nai, Phaya Thai Bangkok 10400 02 616 3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSilverHaze Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 What's close? 500m? 2km? Most of the hot girls that go to that dubious uni come off of the MRT at Huay Kwang then travel into Din Daeng by bus, songtaew. That little pocket is extremely local. I doubt you'll find anything more than simple accommodation, noise and traffic, tiny sous, transport in/out not good. Off the MRT you're in a red light area but there are few rooms and fewer hotels. Some GH down Prachatat Bampen (same road, other direction) and a few hotels about 300m down PB about soi 5. Headed south on Ratchadapisek from HK MRT you will find Emerald Hotel and further still Chada Hotel (other side) about ten mins walk. From Emerald you could easily take a side back road to Prachara Songkhro and on to the university Prachara Songkhro nothing comes to mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the intersection and open your eyes. THE BUS STOP is directly in front of MRT headed E on Pacharatbampen lol Swiss hotel, $$$$ not even worth a mention. Poor value as well bc while it's steps from MRT it's not where tourists want to be. So, you could have a view or absolute convenience but there you are up on Ratchada. This is more of a *Thai* hotel for conferences and weddings. I bet rooms start at 4500 that are not sitting on the road. Several you say? Big hotels.

Describe 'close' ... <1 km, <5kms ? There's public bus stops on both side of the road, so you don't really need to be close, just along the bus route. I take the public buses quite often, and actually prefer it most times, if convenient. Gmap shows what's close, <3kms (10), unless you want walking distance, <1 km (2).

I've never seen them used as regular transport/bus service in downtown-ish Bangkok either. As school buses, and local transport to designated area to/from 'downtown', and possibly won't leave until full. Not as a regular 'baht bus' service that you find in Udon Thani, Hua Hin or Pattaya. Seen on Sukhumvit rd/hwy #3, but that's way below and east of Samut Prakan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want the cleanest nicest option that is the closest thanks Yeah, I live here I don't holiday here. I've no idea and your criteria highly subjective. If you need to go to the university say for a few days ... I assume you want some connectivity to the outside world and therefore recommend you not stay in the middle of Din Daeng but out by HuayKwang MRT or it's counterpart BTS station on the other side which I know nothing about. Staying in this area allows short walk to MRT, Pracharatbampen and Prachara Songkhro are loaded with Thai places to eat. If you're looking for something a little more familiar - walking south on Ratchada less than fifteen minutes will get you to two small malls, two food courts, a Big C, Foodland and restaurants. Of course, if you don't like walking you can jump on the MRT and alight at Thai Culture Center or Pra Ram 9. Malls ready accessible. Depending on my budget I would stay at these as I could afford: Swisshotel, Ibis, Emerald (old). Middling accomodations on Pracharatbampen Soi 3 or 5 (?) CMYK and another hotel next to /near. There are a few funky GHs at the mouth of Pracharatbampen. Look clean but simple. Park Paradise or whatever it's called probably more for Entertainment ®™ ????purposes. The area by the university is tight. Take a taxi /Grab back forth to university. The cost should be cheap. Someone attending? Job offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess didn't look at Gmap for close, then decide if clean enough. Budget would make a huge difference in recommendation, along with 'why' need; 1 day, week, month, 4 years. If can't make a decision with info already given, more isn't going help. Edited February 18, 2023 by KhunLA 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSilverHaze Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I think the issue with Fritz is that he travels south north on Ratchadapisek. These run E W on Pracharatbampen/Prachara Songkhro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
