i just came back from Bangkok last week. is pretty hot there make sure there is a bottle of water with you. I stayed in the Sawadee Khaosan inn hotel at the Khaosan road there. There is a lot of the backpacker at here. and there is a night market on the road also. its near to The Grand Place and MBK.
