    as for Citidines Soi 8

    Agree with other guys, good place to stay, kitchen is nice addition, good price, guest friendly. pretty small loom and off the beaten track. I would stay there again though. there is a back lane that gets you to GB faster than suk road, you will do some walking. there is a free tuk tuk, to take to suk road but not worth the wait usually, sometimes lucky

     

    rated 7.5/10 especially for the price

    Although I like very much to stay in Dawin, I am sick and tired of its backdrop, which causes me a considerable headache concerning the quality of my photos.

     

    I am looking for a very clean hotel of a same quality and price range, near NEP, not noisy but rather quiet, having rooms at least as large as in Dawin, but I would prefer larger since it is better for a photographer, with a nice backdrop, with walls painted either white or in pastel colors. Of course, I want to have all the equipment modern, like in Dawin, with a nice bathroom, and free internet/wifi.

     

    Drawbacks of hotels I know:

     

    Dawin: awful backdrop making the photos suffer

    Omni Tower: run down

    Heaven@4: small rooms, some without windows, and crazy colors

    Ibis Nana: small rooms

     

    For those thinking that a small room does not matter. If you are a photographer and care about the quality of your photos, you need a bigger room, walls either white or pastel colored, and the ceiling definitely white.

     

    I would appreciate all suggestions, especially if you have a photo (attached) othe room, especially of the bed with and the backdrop.

     

    I am primarily concerned about Bangkok, but some good hints for Pattaya are welcome as well. I have a quite good idea about Patong Beach - Phuket, but would appreciate also some good hints there.

     

    Thanks very much in advance.

     

     

    Try the paradiso executive room, must be top floor, a bit more money, maybe 2500, compared to 1700. but cool art and bigger room. you can probably see on website. but it is boutique hotel, so bigger room doesnt mean baseball games allowed. nice though for the price

    I used to stay at Paradiso boutique soi 10 great place for 1700 and took many back to the loom, but last time had 3 LB's in tow and receieved many phone calls that "cannot have" and at least one had to leave, actually we all left and went down to the mosquitos bars for some beers. Citidines on soi 8 is also good and friendly had some steady traffic upstairs and even upto 3 at one time without a word, more of a high five smile when we went in. The citidines is a bit off suk road though and is a bit of a pain in the ass walk as there is not much to look at or stop in for a "break", there is an infrequent tuk tuk that is free but not worth waiting for.

    I agree though the boutique hotels are great, less frills but i dont use that stuff anyway, i use (pump) the gym equipment in my room, now that will make you sweat.

    I also used to stay on soi 2 marco polo, which was 1700 or so, you can negotiate there, but had a little crazy lady fall in love and had too many boiler makers and jaegerbombs so they politely told me that i may have better stay in another hotel. That was a funny story because I wasn't even there, she talked her way into my room because the staff saw her the day before, and she "lost" her key. next thing yo know I have a new guest and some yesterdays news paper is still in my room, so she has a tantrum etc etc.....blah blah blah..... Now that a shock to me and even more so to the new company. Unfortunately that has happened to me twice. How in the f-ck do they get into MY room?? Since then I have been testing out new places for the red hot spot.
