Short Term Accommodation - Samut Prakam

[David48]

I need approximately 2 weeks short term rental in the Samut Prakam area.

Previously I stayed at Rinrada Riverside on Theparak Rd but they only have expensive daily rates or monthly rates ... http://www.rinrada.com/room_rate.php

I need something with a weekly rate and basic furnishing.

To narrow down the area a little, somewhere near the end of Bearing BTS heading East.

Everything considered.

Thanks in Advance

How big a place are you looking at. I stayed at a place just off Soi Bearing a couple of years back, 1 room with separate b/room, did have a small pool to relax . Was ok for a week until I moved to me apartment. Can't remember the name, but if your interested PM me and i'll drive round and find out.

Bangkokhatter ... thanks for the details given through the PM ...

The price is still about 500 Baht, but my lassie who phoned (twice) was astonished at how rude the lady was (mentioning something about 'must be blood day') that we won't go there.

But just wanted to sat thanks to you and to those who viewed, but were unable to comment on the thread.

The Rinarada is a bit of a dive - you won't find cheaper than that, surely (start by comparing the rates with The Colour Living...). I stayed in Rinrada back in 2006 and I went back to look around a few weeks ago. It's still 600b/night and although I like the look of the new website, I can't believe it's now calling itself a 'Serviced Apartment & Residence'! 'Riverside' is a bit of a stretch too, it backs onto a dirty canal and trying to cross the main road outside is like playing Russian Roulette. The gym and pool are fine, there was a nice restaurant but it's now closed and the massage shop (which I went back for) is still hopelessly understaffed ("Can you come back tomorrow?" lol).
