I'll be heading off to BKK @ 23-26March. Cant wait for it after visiting there last June. nod.gif

ANy recommendations of budget hotel around those hot spot along sumkhumvit? Preferably near to any BTS & not too near to those Red Light areas. Budget, possibly as low possible (500-600Bht Possible?? )  as it will juz be for sleep since i'll be out the whole day. twin sharing, attached bathroom.

Stayed @ one of the SOIs near Tesco Lotus & it was wayy far off from those night life thingy.

hi... i'm chinese and i live in ipoh.. i had been to bangkok for 6d5n and been shopping around and visit the temple and the palace there too..
i had been stay for 2 different place. 1 is at the khoasan road(night life place ..!! nice!!) and 1 is at sukhumvit ...

if u wan to stay at good and budget hotel in khoasan road i can suggest u the :
1)lamphu house(recomemded)
2)rambutri village inn

rambutri village inn is just beside lamphu house and u need to book online cuz these 2 is always full..

if u wan to stay at sumkhumvit i can suggest u the:
1) suk11

suk11 is the backpacker hostel ..the enviroment is very nice. the feeling is u stay in a forest..2 tumbs up..

and we had go to 3 place to shopping..1) chatuchak 2)patphong 3)mbk
for the place u wan to visit
1) chatuchak - very big market, sell many thing in very cheap prices (my gf so happy and shopping whole day in there !! my leg was paralyzz yawn.gif )..but 1 thing is very important when u at chatuchak market...if u got sling bag or backpack ..PLS HANG IT IN FRONT OF YOU !!! cuz there got alot of pickpocket...!! is real because the shop boss himself told us to be careful ..

2) patphong - medium size market ..but thing they are very expensive !! even the thing is very cheap !! u need to bargain with them ..and u need to have good skill on that ..in there u also can see the thaigal show..
1 thing is very funny .. cuz when u walk around the market ..some guy from the bar and pub will give u a list and ask u to come inside their bar and see the show...when u see the list they give u u really wan to laugh ..when u go there u will know...

3) mbk - is a shopping complex..but not spend much time there

i got alot to share with u about my bangkok trip..that time my gf and 1 + 7 more friends together go and no tour guide and we get all the information before we go...

if u wan more information about my trip u can ask me...its FOC cuz i love to travel alot and like to share my experince.. this year i'm planning to go to phi phi island..!! biggrin.gif i can give u the fares and wat place u should go ...

1 more thing ...PLS DONT BELIEVE THE TUT-TUT driver !!! They will bring u to other place to buy thing before send u to ur destination !! because they got commision when they send u there buy things..!! Dont believe them

i got to go now..anything u can ask me here or pm me directly also can...
