Hi,

i will be returning to Bangkok for 11 days soon. I am interested in finding a decent hotel or apartment that will give me a good rate for 11 days. Is it possible to find something reasonable for around 500 baht per day?

Cheers

It all depends on your definition of DECENT hotel/ apartment.

There are several hotels along soi 4 for 500-600 baht a night....swan inn, happy inn. They are certainly not what anyone would consider NICE but if all you need is a bed and a somewhat grungy bathroom and an A/C that may or may not work along with a ten watt lightbulb then it will fit the bill. They are ok for a night or two but i would not really much want to spend 11 nights there.

Double your budget if you want anything liveable I reckon.

As said above...for 11 days you will want somewhere better than a flophouse.

Of course, it all depends on where the OP wants to stay. In the non-tourist areas, he might just be able to find something livable in that price range. Near Sukhumvit, forget it.

Doesn't have to be on Sukhumvit but i would need to be near the MRT or BTS

Any ideas?

Cheers

Thai House inn would be ok , soi 7 , Suk. Cheers .

i did see somewhere that the thai house was going to close , but i dont know for sure .

I could recommend somewhere thats wonderful, new clean and the best beds I have ever slept in huge supermarket nearby and about 300 metrs from the MRT but it would be 1000 a night. Well worth every baht for the standard of accomadation you get. I know because I just left there and use it all the time when in Bangkok. If you want to up the budget, message me.

I would like to know where... Thanks

Check out Tune hotel Asoke. It is running about 400bht per night in December. Very good place, close to MRT and BTS, great beds, good bathrooms.

Not exactly handy to the bright lights but I just booked 4 nights at the NASA VEGAS across from the RHAMKHAMHENG rail link station for my sister and her husband. (it's close to where I live) I used AGODA.COM and got Superior rooms for B490 a night. Standard rooms were going for even less.

Don't go for the cheapest place.

Decide where you want to be most nights and then agoda it or you will spend more money and time travelling or going home early.

A and R sukumvit soi 93,550 baht for 1 day if you stay 10 day's.

2 min to Bang chak BTS and market,close to Tesco and Big C

I've done a Google search and can't find A &R Sukhumvit 93

What does A&R stand for?

google "the Mix" it is about 900 bht next to the bts and it is good.

Tune hotel room is bare basic..without AC, without TV, without Internet services, without soap and towels without almost everything except bed, shower and of course toilet papers....if you want the above you pay for them..cheers..

A little over what u wanted to pay but i can recommend the Diamond Residence (Ratchada) 800 bt and Be high suites (Lad Phrao) 600bt both within walking distance to the MRT.

60-80 bt in a taxi to Sukhumvit or if its rush hour jump on the MRT.

Hi. I would think the best bet would be to look around the khao San rd part of town. Quite a few in that price range up there.

Just found an useful website and hope it is useful for those who are looking for cheap hotel.

Maybe above your budget but check out the mystery hotels on wotif.com.

You can often work out which hotels they are.

500 baht in BKK? Try Hostelworld or Hostelbookers. They specialise in budget places and have private rooms available as well as dorm beds.
