Hello all, my first post. This forum was recommended to me by a poster on another site.

I am coming to Bangkok to do my Celta and need a place for about 5 weeks starting around October 10th. Studio is fine. Needs to be on either the BTS line or the Silom MRT line. Budget of around 150 euros per week but if I can do it cheaper then great.

How best to do this? In advance or after arriving (I can arrive a couple of days early if need be)? Any good sites to recommend?

There are many posts about budget accomodation on the forum. Why don't you do a search?

Here's a few good places to look:

And yes, a search first would be best. Lots of information here if you take the time to do a search.

Thanks to both. Those linls are very helpful. Yes schoolboy error in not using the search. Having done so I found out about KV Mansion and Diamond Residence. These are exactly the sort of places I've been looking for.

You might do a search on airbnb.com while you're at it, your highness.
