thanks for your feedback.....so far ive pinpointed one hotel not too bad which is located in sukhumvit area. and i did check out royal ivory as well but i preferred the one that i found. just for your information the hotel is called davinci. any1 heard of this...pretty decent price. another question is....how far is sukhumvit from town center like mbk cneter...thanks for the help....

I'm also lookin for feedback regarding da Vinci hotel. Anyone ?

I stayed at sukhumvit area before (Soi1) and basically if u stay near enough to the skytrain, you u can reach almost everywhere conveniently~
I think few station down from Nana station or Phlon CHit station will be the town center where MBK and Siam Paragon are situated at.
In my opinion, it's wiser to stay near the BTS skytrain station =)

Going down to town center area from Asok using BTS will pass by Nana, Phlom Chit, Chit Lom then finally Siam station.
I think it should be a short walking distance only to the nearest station.

i dunno if there are nearer beaches at Bangkok or not but i know Pattaya is very easy accessible from Bangkok.
there's bus to and fro there everyday but the journey is around 2 hours or so.
Pattaya is one of the famous beaches in Thailand where its more famous for its red light district and night life. i dunno about the condition of the beach though, should be okay since its tourist area.

as i remember, distance between Siam Paragon and Platinum mall kinda far... maybe there is shortcut? well, i think cab in BKK is not expensive too but definitely not during traffic jam hour.

I think Budacco is nice Previously I ever consider to stay at Budacco but at last i decided to stay around Surkumvit Soi 1, which is very very near to BTS Phlon Chit station.

Added on November 29, 2010, 12:05 amFrom internet review seems like Pattaya is quite interesting... indeed famous for its night life. If depart from Bnagkok airport, it only takes 1+ hour to reach pattaya if not mistaken. Staying in any decent hotel near the beach would be wonderful i guess. Maybe once u reach BKK u straight away head to pattaya and stay for 1-2 days, if ur purpose of BKK trip is for relaxing. If u wanna go BKK shopping, maybe u shud spare more time in BKK instead.

Sounds great since it is near BTW.
Thanks bro.

Buddaco is kind of in the alley of a bz area at Pratunam mkt. Can be quite noisy. Rooms are compact. Din stay there but did check it out. dun really like it.There's no BTS nearby in this area but walking distance to Platnium & WTC.

If u r thinking of taking d Airport rail link that takes u from airport to Ratchaprarop station - you can consider PR place & Tango Vibrant.

I ever heard about Citin Pratunam they said it’s exactly located between Platinum shopping mall and Baiyoke sky. U can check it out

How about baiyoke boutique, seems near also.

Do any1 know jatujak market open on sat n sun only or fri too?

Hi,

Would like to ask if Khao San road is advisable to stay in that area? Is it convenience? Any MRT nearby?

Main purpose of trip is shopping. Besides Pratunam, any other area is recommended to stay?

nope it's NOT near (walking distance) to any MRT stations
still advisable to stay along the sukhumvit - BTS line

^

u mean Khao San is walking distance to any MRT stations?

Khao San area doesn't have SkyTrain... you can always check out the BTS line/map if u feel that your need to rely on BTS a lot.

I agree that it's advisable to stay along the sukhumvit - BTS line..

If main purpose is Shopping, should stay in Pratunam area instead of khao san where u see lots of backpakers loitering around only =.="

Chatuchak market is nice too.

Sorry, typo . what i meant is., it is NOT near to any mrt/bts

Is baiyoke boutique or baiyoke suite better?
