Does anyone know a cheap ( 750baht - 800baht max ) guesthouse/hotel in Sukhumvit 18 - 30, in a nice place safe for a child and a mother alone? Just for two months. I don't have enough money to go to an apartment because they always ask for one - three months advance, so unless anyone knows apartments for max 20,000 baht that doesn't ask for advances it's not an option.

Also, wifi in the room is a must. I do some work on my laptop, and I definitely need internet.

Thanks!

PS Guest House on Soi 19 - get out at Asoke station and walk down Soi 19 , it will be on the left side before you get to the Honey Hotel

Nothing fancy but room with toilet are 700 baht per day and may have a monthly rate

I just Googled it, the reviews I've seen for that hotel make me not want to go there.According to the reviews several people were robbed, and the place is full of bar girls.

Any more suggestions? : )

Convenient Resort Hotel 5 minutes from airport deluxe twin room 850. Looks nice people seemed nice already booked near same time just today. PS they provide airport transport and can add in breakfast.

Nana Thai Mansion top of soi 4 by Tobacco factory (very safe) kid friendley not the Hilton but only 800 night.

You can get a monthly rate of about 17-18K at the Premier Inn(02-261-0401) at Sukhumvit 20, which is about 250 meters from the beginning of the soi on the left hand side. Friends of mine stay there regularly at this rate. Pretty sure they don't charge a deposit. Heard they've dropped the daily rate to 800 baht a nite for the rooms in the back(no windows). Not a fancy hotel but you can get UBC there for another 1000 baht and its a safe area, although there is traffic there due to construction (lots of big trucks during the day). Tell them you know Herb (friend of mine who is in LA right now). If you intend to drop his name, PM me first so I can introduce you to another friend there.

If you are willing to go to Thonglo (Sukhumvit 38), there are a couple places closeby to the BTS station that I know of. One place, SK Mansion, charges about 7000 baht per month, altho they will ask for a deposit of 2 months.

Also at Sukhumvit 41, there is a place called River Court(02-662-4485/89), which has small units starting from 7500 baht per month; larger ones from 10,000 baht per month. From what I recall, they charge one month's deposit. They may charge a bit more for shorter stays but this is a nice quiet area, closeby to a small Top's supermarket, BTS Phrom Phong and also the Emporium Shopping Center. PM me if you want me to meet you there and help as they mainly speak thai there.

That I know of, all of these places have wi-fi.

Premier Inn used to be a long term favourite of mine.

Some rooms have a bit of a smell from the toilet though.

Rates include breakfast.

Staff are very nice.

There was no wifi when I last used the place about 1 to 1.5 years ago

Also worth checking out: THE PELICAN INN, Sukhumvit Soi 20, (first cul-de-sac on the right)

Like I said, Premier Inn is nothing fancy but it is safe and at a decent location, with a good core of regulars who "generally" are sociable enough to help newbees out. Although they may not have had wi-fi the last time you were there, there is wi-fi now. Some rooms are definitely better than others.
