in past years have mainly stayed in this area. Fio made a good suggestion. Suk 11 is a rustic and hard to find guesthouse in a favorable area. Advance booking always suggested there. Forum old timer, LA used to frequent this place in the past and can add his advice about here. I have stayed across the street at the Ambassador and Grand President right next door many times over the years. Check on-line for prices, Ambassador a good basic room, the hotel is older but safe and reliable (please say Sawasdee to Weerachai at the front desk for me if you stay here - he's a sweetie). Grand President is an executive serviced apartment that was recently renovated. Rooms here are not as cheap as before but still a great price for the money. I have made many, many friends staying here over the years. One year their hotel management actually threw a great party for about thirty of our family members on the pool floor to thank us for our patronage. They catered all the food and even hired us a band! Unbelievable. Another good choice on the same soi is Grand Business Inn. All of these hotels are convenient to the BTS skytrain station Nana, the central business district, shopping, massage/spa and eating. I really like the area and consider it home when I am there. This year our family will stay in a different area just to explore. We will try the Silom area and are thinking about staying at the Silom Regent, Silom Serene or Silom Village Inn or similar. You can find many places for under $50/USD that are great. There are also many great guesthouses for less. If you are interested in that, I can elaborate later (right now away from my office and resource materials). If you let us know what your budget is, we can all elaborate more.
