carol; yes, it is kuranonsuke. the extra n was due to my typing error when i signed up with yahoo. thanks.

Ooops! I'll have to resend your "stuff" then. I just emailed the business card/map plus several photos of a two bedroom suite to kuranosuke. I'll resend it. I should have waited for your reply instead of jumping the gun.

Isismnroe, the same "package" is on its way to you as well. Let me know if it doesn't work. I downsized all the scans so that they would send more quickly by email.

I just resent the business card and photos to you.
Carol

hi carol; sorry to trouble you, but could you resend it, as i didn't get it. thanks. maybe you are too far away, and it takes awhile to get here. :-).

Carol,
Thank you for your generosity, time and help to share with us. The pictures of the Patumwan House looks spacious! Will let you know if I am successful in booking this apartment. Thanks again!

carol; i got it. looks good. thanks for taking the time to send the info to me. i see from the map that there is a klong nearby. is there a water taxi stop nearby?

Kuranosuke
The Jim Thompson house/museum is just down the klong maybe 50-75 yards. I'm sure there is a stop there. There isn't one right at Patumwan House itself.
The first time I stayed at Patumwan, I heard the noise of the boats on the klong and didn't know WHAT was going on since I knew we were not on a busy street, but at the end of a very quiet soi. I looked out the window and saw the klong and then one of the boats went by. Then I knew what the noise was. It was quite interesting to watch.

Did you manage to book Patumwan house?
Carol

Carol: I'm confirmed for a deluxe with window or balcony for an entire month. But am double checking again if a one bedroom is available.
But if I cannot get a one bedroom, the deluxe (studio) looks good because it still looks spacious and we plan to take one to two day trips out of town as well take a one week vacation to perhaps Myanmar or Hong Kong or Malaysia and we can leave our luggage in the deluxe room at the Pratumwan House.
Thanks so much for the recommendation. The Pratumwan House is very near the skytrain and near shopping.
My next dilemma (but a good problem) is the itinerary.

That's great! I hope you enjoy Patumwan House as much as I (we) do. It's basic, but clean, and very friendly. And yes, you can leave your things in the room while you are away.
Carol

I finally took a look at the new Patumwan House web site. It's pretty basic, no photos. I'm happy to share my few photos with anyone here who wants to take a look at a 2-bedroom apt configuration.

Carol: I am now booked for a one bedroom at the Patumwan House for an entire month. Mahalo!
