hotel in Bangkok

[Caroline]

I've searched several of the Thailand threads - forgive me if I missed it, but does anyone here have a recommendation for a couple of good, budget-but-still-decent hotel in Bangkok?

We'll spend one night there on the way to Nepal, so something near the airport / transportation would be great -- I gther that airconditioning is a good idea.

We'll spend a week on the way back, so something within walking distance of major attractions / something quiet, etc.

We don't need anything fancy (no tv, phone, internet connection, etc.) but a little charm would be welcome.

Thanks for any suggestions!

We utilize The Federal Hotel while we are in Bangkok. It's located on Sukumvit Road, Soi 11.

It has a swimming pool and a restaurant, in a great location, and is about 1,000 baht a night.

Now that this pencil-necked pervert is no longer staying in his Bangkok room, there is at least one place available today but you need to act fast.

ABOARD THAI AIRWAY TO LOS ANGELES (AP) - John Mark Karr, the suspect in the death of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey, sipped champagne and ate fried king prawns in business class Sunday after being put aboard a flight to Los Angeles to face charges in the United States.

As Karr wined and dined in style and chatted with the three U.S. officials escorting him, another bombshell emerged: Reports that Karr sought treatment at a Thai sex-change clinic.
