ianjamesmax replied to Grotesqspade's topic in Transportation & Travel
Since you're arriving in November,you've got time to buy a sim before you go.Try getting one on E-Bay http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=thai%20sim&_sop=15&_clu=2&_fcid=1&_localstpos&_stpos&gbr=1&_zpclkd=1 -
700 baht rooms on Soi 4 Nana
ianjamesmax replied to Smigginz's topic in Hotels & Accommodations in Bangkok
You might be better off paying an extra 300baht a night for the extra comfort...... and peace of mind Places like Woraburi,etc. http://www.woraburi.com/woraburisukhumvit/rates.html#!/page_info -
Will taxis drive down Sukhumvit Soi 7/1 ?
ianjamesmax replied to lumberjake's topic in Transportation & Travel
A couple of years ago I stayed at World Inn on the same Soi.The taxi driver was unable to go down that soi due to the vendors and stalls which were set up on Sukhumvit. It didn't matter as it was just a short walk down to the hotel. Just hop out and walk....No biggie -
Royal President or Aspen Suites?
ianjamesmax replied to MrGreen66's topic in Hotels & Accommodations in Bangkok
Stayed at both.Liked Royal President better.Stayed there 3 times.But you won't go wrong with either. Aspen Suites has a Better location Royal President has better rooms(suites anyway).And a tuk tuk to sukhumvit/BTS Have you considered Grand president on Soi 11?Best of both worlds! -
Last time I did that trip,not from Nana but from Aspen Suites on soi 2(Next soi down), it cost 350baht and took about 30 minutes. Get a metered taxi from Sukumvit if the ones on Soi 4 are quoting ridiculous prices.

Firehouse Restaurant
ianjamesmax replied to leocom6's topic in Restaurants, Places to Eat and nightlife
You've just made everyone on the forum hungry :blink: -
Stayed here a couple of times.The bigger rooms are nice,and it's a nice quiet location on Soi 2. Really close to Annie's. Shortcut to Soi 4,Turn right at Annie's and go through the car park in front of the Rajah Hotel,and you'll come out onto Soi4 near NP Aspen Suites

I've eaten a few times at the German Bierhaus,and it's been good every time. Another option is the AussiePub on Soi 11 http://theaustralianbangkok.com/web/?page_id=18

TwoThree Mansion suk soi 23 any reviews?
ianjamesmax replied to 0069's topic in Hotels & Accommodations in Bangkok
It's guest friendly. https://bkkguestfriendlyhotels.com/Two_Three_Mansion/index.htm The only gripe that most people seem to have is that the internet service isn't very good. On the good side though,if you check out the location of the hotel on a map you'll see it's very close to Soi Cowboy. -
I think it might be,as it sometimes comes through very very slowly on my computer,and then sometimes it's ok.

Hotel with soft bed and jacuzzi near Nana?
ianjamesmax replied to Kwickie's topic in Hotels & Accommodations in Bangkok
Thanks for that.I didn't know they'd changed the name. I looked it up on AGODA,and the room with a jaccuzi(Studio suite) is on a "Flashdeal(55% off) at the moment.There will be tax on top of that,as always with Agoda. http://www.agoda.com/studio-sukhumvit-18-by-icheck-inn/hotel/bangkok-th.html?dsrch=1&asq=v531TcfJilMlZ1ZJLUAB%2fWmcRDW0ETCa1zT%2bkeRW%2bCVTa4gDob2x04qDfFMSlWt5k5Je5cYbX2xTR33vIWOUG0771F05uF%2fEUX%2f3rxV2n4xiJLFL5ilrylx%2bs16%2fU59VSuy8P4H9u62WWaLxGJvqsQ%3d%3d -
