William st had some real crackers out the front of the old ABC building. The back alleys haf some nightmares too!

Great review. Just had a look. Insanely cheap! (Recently shelled out a damn sight more for a mediocre experience in Sydney).

On Nut next to the bts has good cheap fare. One lb took me to a little old lady run hole in the wall place at the end of the bts line where I had the best food ever. For next to nothing! She ordered I enjoyed.

I've decided to book here. Thanks guys.

Thanks mate. I'm leaning towards iCheck Nana purely for ease of access to the cultural delights. Will attempt some serious debauchery and then chill a bit in On Nut. That's the plan. (Cue knowing laughter.....)

Quick straw poll iCheck Nana or Le Fenix 2 nights. Which would you go for? (And anyone asking 'what do you plan to do?'gets a clip round the ear).

Great review. Looking for a decent place for two nights close to the action. On the list. thanks.

Thanks for the heads up. Will be there early Oct.Hoping for some bargains so I can spend more elsewhere

Will be using this place to recover from a hangover or two in October.

Must be heartbreaking for an award winning chef to have to cook up shit like that.....

Last year Fox News claimed that it was a fact that both Jesus and Santa Claus were real and white. Fuck knows what they're drinking!

The breakfast at Majestic Suites.

Could depend on who's in the bed and what activities...

Brilliant info Mardhi. Will use this next trip.(oct). Thanks.

Crap pic but you can see the other end too.

Yes. I stayed in 606 and you can see and hear it.

The old building.

Will be heading up to Chiang Mai in October - can anyone recommend a LB friendly hotel 3-4 star, (swimming pool, fitness room would be useful). Close to the action would be good but I bow to the BM's knowledge and experience if this is not a good idea. Thanks in advance for any and all info.

I stayed in Manina... and had two nights in the main building. Good size room, decent bed and bathroom. Stayed one night (for $17) in the old section. It's not somewhere you'd want to hang out. Ok for a sleep and off to airport. Here's a shot of the room on the fourth floor. Two lifts and as Aussie rod says the breakfast is good. Pretty sure you could take an lb to the dining room no trouble. There are two sois that lead to the main area. The gym is shit - everything is broken! 7-11 to the left of the hotel and a bank to the right.

New ad tagline for microsoft "apple are just cunts". Couldn't be worse than their usual drivel.

What the hell is a 'no boundaries privilege and lifestyle programme'? And more importantly do I need it when my lifestyle left boundaries behind long ago.

Read a report today that 25% of russian men die before their mid-50's due to alcohol (mainly vodka). That's some ssrious drinking..

Aeroflot - for those of us brought up in the Cold war was a byword for soviet inefficiency. Sorry to hear standards remain the same. On the bright side - you're now in paradise!

Like it. Big fan of the extra space - more relaxing. Contrast with MajSuites which has great location but too small for more than a couple of nights. Will check this out for sure.

I had dinner here in late 2012. The service was so bizarrely haphazard that it was funny. Another only in Thailand story...
