Can anyone tell me about the Suriwongse Hotel?
I will be in BKK in mid August and I am looking for a hotel in the Silom area for around 1200 baht a night.

I usually stay at the Malaysia Hotel but have been disappointed the last couple of times I stated there. The coffee shop used to be loads of fun with all the money boys running around but I think management has chased them away.

Anyway, thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated. I am travelling with friends and their budget is 1200 a night. I understand that there are nicer hotels nearby and rooms can be had for a mere 300-400 baht a night more....etc..etc..

My friends budgets are 1200 a night max.
