Thanks to all responded to the other threat.
I think saw a hotel that looks OK for me: "Silom City Inn Bangkok 72 Soi Prachum, Silom 22".
The plan is to stay there a few nights before going upwards to Udon Thani by bus (But that is the next step in this adventure)
I am with a "special friend" already so I am not picking up anyone, I do like to smell the Bangkok gay area (sort off :clown: ).
Does any one have a view/input about this hotel (location, value for money etc)?
E.g. they have an airport pickup service for 1100 Baht that looks a bit over the top (but I am still a newbie)
