On my next trip to Thailand I plan to rotate hotels and try some different hotels in different areas of the city away from the Silom/Surawong/Soi Ngham Duplee area. Normally I stay in the same hotel while in BKK but I want to try staying in several different areas for a shorter time. I have become bored with the area I stay in and find myself travelling around to see and explore different areas. I still want to be able to bring someone back to my hotel so they must allow joiners. My target rate is around 2000 baht +/-. I want a comfortable and decent sized room and don't care about a pool, the quality of the breakfast, TV, color scheme, etc.
My areas of interest include Chinatown, Sukumvit (near Nana or Asoke BTS), and Saphan Kwai.
Can anyone recommend hotels in these areas based on personal experiences?
Does anyone have suggestions on additional interesting areas within BKK to stay? I spend most of my trip travelling outside BKK.
