I stayed at the House by the Pond for one month last year. The rooftop pool is nice. Then moved to the apartment building next door to it for half the price. The area is not bad, a 10-15 minute walk to BTS phrom pong (20 baht motosai) or a very short walk to MRT Queen Sirikit (10 baht). The walk between MRT and HBTP is sketchy late at night because of the proximity to Klong Toey slums. Your nightlife entertainer will probably have a room there.

You could do a lot worse for a short term stay in the Sukhumvit area.

Interesting, so they can afford 19,000 Baht + a month can they?

You may need to stay at the notorious Nana Hotel, at least for your first couple nights. You can't get more firmly into the madness than that. Soak yourself (Zen!) in the Nana scene, you'll know if you want to stay there and slowly lose your marbles, or if you want to get out of there and see what else there is to do in Thailand!

My reference was to the Klong Toey which is a short walk from HBTP. I am not knocking Klong Toey, food is good there. And many apartments with rooms about 3-4 K baht per month. It is no secret that many working girls live there. Which reminds me of a line from one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs; "I hear the click-click of your heels on the stairs, I know you ain't no scared-eyed honey".

I have a good friend there still, and have visited many times. But as I understand it, there is a lot of Yaba available and I don't wander around late at night or into sub-sois with nobody around.
