Sounds like Royal Lanna would suit you. It's right where you want to be at the junction of Loi Kroh and the Night Bazaar, just across from the Suriwongse, and I think they weekly or monthly rentals. Try this number - 053 818 773.

Huge Bed Eh?

well if you look like your Aviatar I am sure some of us might not mind helping out with the rent

Only Joking

Tawan Court Hotel does rooms at around 6,000 Baht a month and is 5 mins walk from the night bazzar. Good aircon, rooms are not that big, but we lived there 4 6 months and survived, well more than that actually. Good Breakfasts and room service, washing etc... leaves you more dosh for F.U.N.

I don't think they have one. It is a hotel, although the other three they have in the city are all 100% condos. That link you've put up there is a hotel affiliate and they're unlikely going to show info on booking for long-term. Just give them a call, I'm pretty sure they do weekly or monthly rates.

...also what is different about a condo vs a hotel.never been in one before...

English isn't my native language, so I'm not sure of the exact meaning of "condo" - but I think it refers to something like "a private apartment, owned by an individual". This means that you either buy a condo, or temporarely rent somebody else's condo - usually because, they're going on an extended holiday. I don't know about others, but personally, I wouldn't bother to rent out my living quarters to a stranger for just one month - moving my own cloths, beloved stereo, etc. to somewhere else wouldn't be worth the effort.

its just i heard there are alot of condos in cm.spoke to many people who were staying in cm long stay,ie 1month-6month and so on,they say its better to rent a condo than stay in a hotel for obvious price reasons.dont want a hostel or guesthouse.many of them pay 5-10000 a month for very nice condo.cant remember where though!

Many of the hotel/condo buildings in CM offer two levels of accommodation. If you pay by the night you get electricity/water/fresh towels/sheets every night for free. In this way it resembles a hotel/guesthouse and you pay the appropriate rates say 600bt a night. If you rent the same room by the month you pay separately for electricity & water and usually pay for maid service each time you use it. This is condo accommodation and you pay much less for it, maybe 6000bt a month.

Well there's a few people giving you good info on here, so perhaps best to scout these out first.

I am sure that Tawan Court Hotel I mentioned only charges 6-7,000 a month, but 600 a night, so thats pretty good value for a hotel, can be as little as 200-250B a day!
