Well the rates are certainly on the rise. I no longer stay at my go-to as I no longer can afford their rates. All I do now is check rates on Agoda as frequently as I can just to have a idea and make tentative bookings when the rates go down. Bangkok ain't what it used to be.

absolutely!!

I’d ask you guys to give Bangkok Burgers go. It is at the top of soi 11, just a you come in from Sukhumvit, next to the 7/11 (141 Soi Sukhumvit 11, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana). The burgers are cheap and pretty good. most of all, they serve good Thai food on the top floor. I really enjoyed their Tom yom goong, particularly prawns, tamarind prawns and other dishes. The Tom yum came with a good number of fairly large prawns, fresh too and the soup was just glorius. I must have eaten there 3 or 4 times. Although on the top floor, there is an open air area where tenants (also a dorm/hotel of some kind) where guests smoke cannabis. The smell is excruciating. Especially when you’re trying to enjoy your food.

@ethanhunt - Hey sorry about this. I just spotted it. I have attached a screen shot from Google maps. And the address is 32, 2 Soi Sukhumvit 13, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110. There is a laundry shop at the corner but I cannot recall a beauty parlour.

Hengs kitchen on soi 13 is a good bet too. Service is a bit spotty with the young guy but good from the ladies. Tom yum, tamarind river prawns, papaya salad, crab fried rice. And inexpensive too.

the carlton, the sheraton and the ambassador. i suggest you call them to verify.

Hey I'm glad you did. Try my recommendations the next time around. I already called them for reservations for my visit in October. Dan

Hey there @SAGuy. When I used them many years ago, I used an ONLINE version called "iloveimg.com'. And I just checked and they are still there. There's nothing to download and there's a free version too but limited usage. We paid a few dollars a month, for the premium pkg when there was a need to use the service repeatedly. I don't know the full details of using it as one of the clerks did the work, but I do know that it is easy to do it. There are many others if you require the work to be done 'in-house" but, as you said, there a software requirement. Hope this helps. So you're doing photo editing for whynot? Don't you have enough work to do? Dan

hey there @Rodrigo, hey there buddy, i am in bkok in oct this year and am booked at radisson suites. first stay at 29,000B. then i read 'I stay in soi 11, I stay in Citadines as the rooms are fairly spacious and the crowd who stay there is not that bad' and i checked the rates and it seemed like a better proposition ( i have been retired for some time and with no income, i need to perhaps look at alternatives). i was just wondering whether you could spare me a line or two about citadines 11. the rate is really attractive and some words would convince me to change. i am fussy about cleanliness, esp daily housekeeping. and i think you may have inferred that the area is safe (i am an old man). i am also looking at reviews to help. thank you in advance. dan

15 day sim could cost about 800B. I usually pay 500B for roughly 12 days.

This is cheaper than the Tourist plan at the airports. What about calls buddy?

Yes it does. there are a number of shops just as you exit suvarnabhumi airport and they have tourist packages.

Ah! Thank you for the trouble. There’s one at the central embassy. good reviews too, although prices appear to be higher than average. I certainly would like to try that one out. thank you again.

you forgot the name? That’s nice. any chance it could be ‘Authentic Thai food & curry‘ (it may be a poor translation from Thai) restaurant?
