Thread: BKK hotel 1,000 - 1,500baht

Just some location where its easy to get on a bus or skytrain to get around town. I'd like to get away for a night tomorrow or Saturday. Any links would be appreciated.

Best place is the Star Hotel area which is within 3-5 minutes walk of National Stadium station.

You get off the Skytrain and it's on the opposide side from McDonalds/MBK Plaza. You have to walk up a small road and they are all on your left.

There are several hotels on this road one of which is the Star Hotel and it costs 300-600 baht a night depending on if you want a TV / Air con etc.
They don't mind guests.
No Frills but clean rooms and comfy beds

A recent "find" for me is the Rompo Mansion. Rooms starting at 700 baht. Nice pool, great location next to Rama IV Tesco Lotus and "Carefour Thai". 5 minutes and 40 baht moto taxi to the emporium to catch BTS.
What I liked was no tourists stay there. Thai business people and longer term farang actors and models stay.
It kind of reminds of the Gramercy Park hotel in Manhatan.
And there's a typical "fishbowl" massage operation on the 2nd floor!

You've obviously recovered from your health problems Peter ?? or you've decided to just keep on partying and go out with a bang, slagdog or whatever.

Welcome to the club. All gets a bit silly and repetitive doesn't it?

Not to mention the damage to the wallet especially sinse the Aussie dollar is worth shite.
