Bangkok Travel Forum

hey, me again! :) just booked my ticket to bangkok in november. will be staying for 11 nights as i'll be studying in chivasom academy on sukhumvit 63 for a little more than a week. we're looking for a place to stay at that's near Chiva-Som Academy in Modern Town Building on Sukhumivt 63.

Originally planned to stay at Sawasdee Inn Sukhumvit on Sukhumvit 57 but we're having second thoughts since i saw on a couple of maps that this could still be too far to walk and also because of the not-so-good reviews i saw online. But seeing that we'll be staying for 11 days, we want to keep our accomodation costs under THB800-THB1000 a night.

Can anyone give me any tips on where to stay? or maybe an estimate on how long a walk it would be from Sawasdee to Soi 63 ifever we decide to book there? We're also considering just getting any cheap hotel that's near a BTS station since i think i can walk to Chivasom from the Ekkamai station.

Any help will be appreciated! Thank you, thank you! :D

I would suggest somewhere near a BTS station. Its easier to travel on the skytrain and the underground. Details are http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/7dcac/160d76/9/

You can opt for a day pass/ three day pass. The week pass is not really a cheaper option.

Have fun in LOS (land of Smiles)

thanks for the tips! ;)

there's a 3-day pass for the BTS now? how much is this? unlimited rides?

Sawasdee Sukhumvit inn is OK basic but clean you could get a lot worse-stayed there in April returning in June OK?
