  1. Hey, that really looks good. Added to my list of restaurants. thanks loads.
  2. This is great. Could you kindly tell me what you ordered?? I just checked it out. It's certainly not cheap.

    Eleven hotel on soi 11

    Decent pricing. I got the same room. Did you book direct through their app/website? Or third party like Agoda?

    Eleven hotel on soi 11

    Yes you’re right. It is soi 13. I checked it in October in preparation for my next 10 day stay in 3 months. I was happy with what I saw. Good rooms, good breakfast among other things. Its just that the walk to the BTS is a pain. Looking forward though. lemme know how yours went. cheers

    Eleven hotel on soi 11

    Well I did have the Executive, their biggest in size. But like I said, the street noise wasn’t that bad. Cindy’s was actually why I got it. It is super for Cindy’s without breaking the bank. i have booked Radisson Suites on soi 15, in early 2025.

    Eleven hotel on soi 11

    Hotel Eleven is situated right in the middle of everything. Food choices abound. The fact that it is a hop away from BTS Nana is God send. The hotel is clean and bright. Wonderful bed and pillows, and it was not crowded. I liked the fact that housekeeping was spot on. Always on time and this is critical with me. Of course tipping is also vital towards ensuring this. I asked for a higher floor but got saddled on the 4th, and I was concerned about the noise from the bars. But after the first day, my fears were allayed. There was some noise but mostly muffled and nothing I could not deal with. Thai on Nine (9th floor) is a great place to hang out for drinks. The breeze flowing through it is wonderful. I did not take breakfast as these hotels serve pork (Adelphi, Parchara, Maitria), which I do not eat. It's a choice i made some 35 years ago, after discovering what pig farmers feed their stock, in malaysia. If there were negatives, I'd say closet and storage space was limited.

    No free cancellation

    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.
  8. 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.
  9. @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.
  10. 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.

    hotel with sauna in lower suk

    the carlton, the sheraton and the ambassador. i suggest you call them to verify.
  12. 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
  13. 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

    Ambassador Hotel Sukhumvit

    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
