Cheap Places To Stay Near Lumpinee?

[Aplin]

I am flyign into bangkok tomorrow night to watch a friend fight in Lumpinee, is there anywhere near by I could stay cheaply for 2 nights - i.e. cheap guest house, etc?

Also I am wishing to store my bags for 2 weeks whilst I travel to Isaan, does anyone know of anywhere?

I am wondering whether it would be cheaper to stay in say Khao San and travel to Lumpinee, or just stay in Lumpinee... hmm.

Used to be a number of cheap guest houses w/i walking distance from the Malaysia Hotel, Soi Ngam Duphli, off Rama IV--if that's near. Get to the Malaysia and ask a taxi driver.

I know this answer is too late for the trip you mentioned but if you come for boxing again try the Pinnacle Lumpinee. It's a good clean cheap hotel near the corner of Rama IV and Soi Ngam Duphli only about 5 minutes walk from the Lumpini Boxing Stadium. I book it online through Agoda to get the best rate.

Freddy Guest House II on Soi Bamphen, off Soi Ngam Duplee.

Try motoring along Rama IV to Bangkok Self Storage which is next door to the Boss Tower. I left my bag there In January, paid 5kTHB up front for a year. Having said that, I haven't been back yet, but I'm pretty confident it will still be there

Are there still left-luggage facilities at the railway station?

There's a decent-looking guesthouse on Langsuan soi 5, a few minutes walk from Lumpini Park.

I don't remember the name, but could respond with that tomorrow (I live on Soi Langsuan) with the name and its URL.

The advertised price on the front window is 1000 baht/night. Good thai-style restaurant across the street (the reason I know about the guesthouse is because the teerak likes eating at that restaurant).
