PS: The Yun Nan Chinese Restaurant outside RCH, please don't go. The kway teow and the food there really no good. I regret going there 2 days ago. I almost puke upon eating. I stay thailand till now, its one of the worst food I ever eaten.

SC

Thanks for your info.

On my last trip, while on rackying RCH I almost go into this Yun Nan restaurant.....luckingly changed my mind and ate at the T-restaurant, a Vietnamese/Thai restaurant opposite Grand Hote.

I love the food there.....really yummy.....

Vietnamese food with touches of Thai taste.

With due respect, I think you give the wrong recomendation.

RCH is located in the centre of Bangkok RED LIGHT district just like our Geylang......you want our friend to be banned permanently "from going BKK alone" it is ????

Cheap not doubt...but there are other cheap decent hotel too. Moreover, if someone is looking at Amari Watergate (4.5 star)... you should guess he standard lah.

RCH is strictly good for "budget cheongster"....the place and room are only of 3 star standard....the toilet like one brother mentioned is very "lok Cok"......

RCH is not for everyone......anyway no one hotel is.

thanks all for the info. checked the price for amari sin 110 per night thru travel agent.

The more ultimate budget one in this area will be Watana Mansions. Or Galleria Inn.

By the way I've noticed RCH guests have more of a non PRC clientele nowadays. Singaporeans and Malaysians. Could be due to SC's recommendation in early 2003. Hahahaha! Huat arh!

For ultimate budget.....anyone heard of Samran Place on Petchaburi? B$300 with breakfast!!! or try Narai Inn in Pratunam (not to confuse with Narai Hotel) only B$250. But caution only for those on shoestring budget. One notch better than the B&Bs at Khao San......

That's not a bad price for a 4.5 Star hotel.

I just got a quote at B2400 (S$105)a night for Siam Novotel which at best is only 4 stars...... I intend to stay there during the coming Haji holiday at the end of this month. What to do, I like the location.......so convenient for food and shop.....

Bro Yomun - I finally got a hotel - Ambassador. It was like one of the rare few places that has rooms still. Hopefully this place won't have trouble bringing back girls as I've read in the bkktonite forums that it recently was removed as "Girl Friendly".

Regarding other areas aside from Sukhumvit; I'm not very familiar with BKK lor...and all the past 4 visits, only stayed there so more familiar.

Tr|pp|ng,

No comments on Ambassador as I've never stayed there before. I've stayed in Bright City Tower service apartment before. It's just opposite of Ambassador. Not bad. 100% girl friendly. Can even have orgy if you want. Hehe.

Good thing about Sukhumvit Soi 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 is the close proximity to Nana BTS.

Actually, you mentioned 5-star. I've always stayed in Novotel Lotus and its only 3.5 stars. Usually, I don't bother staying in nice hotels, but given that I'm in BKK for leisure & most probably will be IN THE ROOM, I'd much prefer a better and comfy one.

Unfortunately, this time no choice, only have Ambassador and if they don't allow me to take girls back, I'll try your Bright City Tower. Anyway, only gonna be there for 3 nights so should be ok!

Thanks for ur help!

This service apartment is recommended to me by one BKK veteran. Don't expect anything fancy. Just humble furnishings. However it's value for money. The mattress is a bit hard though.

Hard Mattress? Have u tried the beds in China?? If you have, nothing can be harder then! lol.

Thanks for all the tips!

Any brother here got any suggestion on what Card should I buy ???

I travel to BKK about once every two to three months on short stays of between one to five days.


Sorry !!!! this may not be the best thread to post this question.

Many thanks........

not really worth it unless u make plenty local calls. per call is 5THB for 1-2call. a 300THb card is valid for 1 month plus another month to top up. else the number is gond or u have to pay a few to activate again. most value for money is orange but reception not so good.
