ProfessorFart Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Big Johns is cheap I've heard. The Miami is around the 700B a night range too but is a bit of a dump. Suk11 is a nice backpackers place on soi 11 at 600B a night but is not guest freindly. Sadly places in that price range are few and far between these days outside of Banglamphu and not too easy to find there these days unless you want a real shithole.

lumphinibaby Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 There are a few fairly decent places down Soi Kasem San 1 - besides Mah Boon Krong. All in the 600B range. If you try outside Bangkok you might have a little better luck for that price range. Remember with the BTS and MRT you don't really need to stay so close to the centre - just as long as you are near a station or decent bus line.

cmsally Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I think you'll find most hotels in this range are really guesthouses. Royal Hotel is cheap but over that range. Otherwise try behind National Library - 3 or 4 guesthouses very popular. Also a friend stayed behind Khaosan Rd - a small place to the right of Viengtai Hotel - I think it was called White Orchid. Seemed very clean and pleasant. Apparently a good guesthouse on/around Soi Tonglor called John's... ? A friend on Tonglor told me about that one. Apparently v. popular. You could also try searching on Hostelworld.com They have hotels as well as hostels. They were the only website that could get me very last minute accommodation in London at a reasonable price a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

udon Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Soi Sribumphen is a dump, unless it's been tarted up in the last 3 years. I don't know The Blooms, but here's a link. http://www.hostels.net/hosteldetails.php?HostelNumber=8189 OP, go have a look 1st... There's good little cafe in the soi which runs from Soi Sribumphen to the rear of Lumpini Tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecj Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I am new to this forum,but have been reading it for a while now some good posts,and good comments.I think the best value hotel wise is Nasa Vegas in Klongton its 590 per night,as good cable TV,looks modern and now as a very good fitness centre with jacuzzi etc.I hope this helps.

udon Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 (edited) The Nasa Vegas looks good. How far is it from the Metro or Skytrain? Cheers Oops, nearly forgot! Welcome to the forum, davecj Edited June 8, 2005 by udon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbrain Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I've stayed at Nasa Vegas more than a few times. For me, it's okay. It's just a basic hotel that is clean, quiet, and has a reasonable en-suite bathroom. My Thai friends like the TV, though I'm not much interested in watching the usual Chinese / Thai / America crap. It doesn't take long to get there from the entrance to Sukhumvit 71. Buses number 501 and 71 pass the hotel. Some number 40 buses pass too. Coming from Pratunam you can take the 113. You can also take the canal boat and get off when you see UM Tower. BB The Nasa Vegas looks good.How far is it from the Metro or Skytrain? Cheers Oops, nearly forgot!

baht&sold Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 (edited) Back in the 'old days', used to stay at Street Lodge hotel, suk soi 1. Used to be 500 day or 11000 month and doubt it's much more now. Proper tub/shower, mini fridge, cable, great location but had carpeted rooms (just don't like 'em in this climate).

taxout Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 The Blooms is new and clean and offers professional service and tasty fried rice for breakfast, but the rooms are small and it's an unpleasant walk to the place dodging traffic down a narrow soi. As well, their rates have gone up -- 450 baht weekdays, 500 weekends -- so it's not quite the value it was last year. Walk-in rates and the rates through AirAsia are now the same. On a monthly basis, The Blooms is really good value. Woodlands is a bit cheaper and shabbier though acceptable considering the price, but their breakfast is the pits. Location's not quite as isolated as The Blooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
