around $150./ night given Bangkok rate structure? Mayfair looked too expensive. Cannot seem to get in touch with Adelphi (site not working well tonight), but sent email. Awaiting response from Baan Sukhumvit (B&B). Will check into the rest. Again, thanks!

Aloft on sukumvit soi 11 is excellent value http://www.starwoodhotels.com/alofth...ropertyID=3211

crellston-Aloft looked great, but their site says no availability when we will be there (in Nov.).

I have just booked S31 on Sukhumvit and got a great rate of £60 a night incl wifi and breakfast. looks a great location and a nice Budget option (they are on SLH.com too) i haven't stayed there yet will do early September.

virginiafish Jul 20th, 2012 04:29 AM

Smeagol-that site looks fabulous. Unfortunately, all booked for our dates. But, I will save for future reference.

Virginiafish,

Highly recommend Moonite Boutique Hotel. I think it will be right in your price range about US$60 per night including free breakfast and Wi-fi. Good location, friendly staff, modern clean rooms.

check this booking site, www.sawwasdee.com Most prices include breakfast plus tax and service. Also take a look at www.agoda.com Note that tax and service add 17.7% so compare apples with apples.

BTW, $150 is not budget in Bangkok. You should be able to get a vey nice place for that price. I expect that anyplace in your price range will have a pool.

Adelphi Suites is my usual 'home away from home' when I'm in Bangkok. BUT, I'm staying at Sheraton Four Points on Sukhumvit soi 15 right now, for 5 nights, as Adelphi was having trouble with their site when I was trying to book my dates! I hope you hear from them by email. Adelphi Suites is a very good place, great location (very close to NANA skytrain station escalator going UP) and the staff is very helpful and kind. Breakfast is included in the price, and is OK. Not a huge variety, but certainly enough to fill up before a day of exploring!

rhkkmk Jul 20th, 2012 06:08 AM

you could stay at tons of places for $150.

use that sawadee site..

rhkkmk Jul 20th, 2012 06:10 AM

ui put in nov 13-16 as examples for 4 guests into the marriott site and mayfair came up at $160 and sathorn vista at $148

I did stay at Baan Sukhumvit, and liked it, although I prefer to stay on the river.

Thank you! Working on this in the next day or so, so comments still so helpful.

I found my second serviced apartment building on their website back around 2004. The first building I stayed at was Chateau de Bangkok which was nice.

After finding the second building, on Move and Stay, I then went to the building and negotiated the price in person and have been happy ever since.

Happy Travels!

Guenmai Jul 20th, 2012 02:47 PM

A Thai friend is a manager at this building. He contacted me to say that he's moved over to this serviced apartment building. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks nice.

Guenmai, I stayed there about a year ago. Good value for the price. Think I paid about 2100 baht a night.
Covered pool so the water was frigid. Small gym with free weights ang machines. Breakfast was pretty basic. Interesting location. Soi 6 can be a problem during rush hours but it is just a short walk to the sky train station.
