Aloft Bangkok is well mentioned on a couple of websites and member boards, but usually the rates are a little bit off your range

There's no right or wrong depending on where you stay and where you want to go. If you want to do some sightseeing stuff (like Wat Phra Cheo, Wat Po, Wat Arun), you're better off taking a taxi. If you want to have some fun at night at The Pimp (or a similar venue), then you're also better take a taxi. If you just want to get along Sukuhumvit Road nothing beats the BTS. And if you want to geet to the famous massage parlors at Ratchada area, then MRT usually is the best option. I'd always choose my transportation depending on the location where I want to go. Sometime I take a taxi, somtime I take BTS and sometimes I even walk.

That seems to be the best deal you can get right now. Use hotelscombined.com to check hotel rates.

You're right about, but imho this still doesn't make Sukhumvit Road interessting, at least not between Soi 1 and Soi 23. Once you pass Thonglor, then it starts getting interessting, because there are nearly no farangs arounds.

Or take a boat trip on Tonle Sap to get to REP. It also takes 5 to 6 hours and when the wether is good it can be a nice experience.

You got me wrong. Aspen Suites are ok, near NEP, with some nice rooms under 2.000 THB per night, but there are a lot of other hotels in Sukhumvit area that offer the same quality for similar rates. But Nasa Vegas is too far off if you want to spend your time at NEP, Soi Cowboy and Patpong

There's nothing wrong about cancelling Aspen Suites, but to cancel it for Nasa Vegas doesn't make sense at all, as long as you don't want to spend most of the day at massage parlors like Nancy, Aviva or Meree. At least at night it's near The Pimp. For anything else it will takes a ride with a taxi and keep in mind that Petchburi Road and Sukhumvit Road are usually a good bet for heavy traffic jam. Depending on your budget there are a lot of hotels at Sukhumvit area where it just takes some small steps or a short ride with skytrain/taxi ans you are in the middle of the action.
