Prai Raya Phuket Cuisine Soi 8

This is great. Could you kindly tell me what you ordered?? I just checked it out. It's certainly not cheap. -
Decent pricing. I got the same room. Did you book direct through their app/website? Or third party like Agoda?

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

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.

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.

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.

Good thai food near Soi 11?

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.
