Hey there guys just wanted to add my input on my stays at Bangkok. I stayed at two places last year on my trip. They were the Boss Suites and Nana Plaza Hotel Boss Suites Hotel (Deluxe Double) Price - 50 cad per night approx 1,212.31 baht per night First hotel i ever stayed in Thailand. Location wise, not the closest to NEP as still 10 minute walk but not too big a deal for me. They provided free of charge tuk tuk service to Nana BTS which was nice and everytime I used it, I did not have to wait for more people to jump on. Just requested and went off. Also kind of hidden as hotel was tucked in a small alley which took me awhile to find. In regards to the room. Very nice i would have to say as much more modern and seemed clean during my stay. Washroom has those clear window type style for those people who like perv on their partners while they shower. Window view nothing spectacular as on second floor. Cleanliness was questionable though, as during my stay everything looked pretty clean however closer inspection in closets i found some opened condom wrappers. :(. Overall I probably would not stay here again as for same price you can get better location and quality. Breakfast was typical hotel buffet style with sausages and wieners. Nothing to write home about. Staff there was super friendly and very helpful. Nana Hotel (Standard Room) Price - 52.67 cad per night approx 1277.05 baht per night After coming back from Pattaya I stayed at the Nana Hotel. Best thing about this place is the location. Literally NEP is at your doorsteps with freelancers just draped along the street.The room definitely shows some age and is definitely less stylish then Boss Suites. The color of the carpet and weird seating bed back board with worn down wooden furniture did not help with the appearance. Window view was much better compared to Boss as i had a nice look over the BTS rail. Size wise, I would say the same as Boss Suites in which there was ample room to move around. Aside from the style of the room though, I must admit i was a little hesitant to book as researching reviews on this forum about it. But I would like to say Nana Hotel is not as bad as I would think people are saying and is actually pretty solid option. Staff issues that people had before never happened to me and the rooms were clean with no complaints from me. Breakfast buffet also was included and pretty much standard fare, but still better then Boss Suites as had a couple more options. Overall, I would probably take Nana Hotel over Boss Suites, just as location was such a convenience as well Nana provides the all the basic amenities. Solid shower pressure, big fridge and cleanliness. Sure Boss suites staff maybe better but i can make do without it if it means a small degree of less quality service with a better location, especially with similar price per room. In my next trip I would probably try to book with Majestic Suites as I have positive reviews and it does not sacrifice the location aspect.

Doesnt really effect me too much. Over the span of the trip you probably only spending a little more per day and in mind Bangkok still cheap relatively to other destinations.

Thanks for the input! yea the location is the one thing i was kind of weary about as I was spoiled with Nana Hotel. Plus the food around the area sound pretty intriguing as well.

Sorry, not sure if this is the right place to post this, but has anyone stayed at Hope Land Hotel on Sukhumvit 8? It is guest friendly from a reply i have received from them but I just want to know what peoples input are on this place. Rooms look pretty nice and has a nice small pool with a small garden/relax area. I guess the major concern is location. I do not have much to compare with as I only stayed at Nana Plaza Hotel and the location could not be beat, but for my second time around I wanted to see if I should change it up or not.

Some things I would check out, especially if you are in thai culture are temples. There's a ton but the ones i went too and I thought were pretty interesting were Wat Pho (Reclining Buddha) and the Wat Arun. Also take some time to hit up the markets if you like shopping. The Chatuchak Market was the best one i thought. Felt actually had more diversity in products versus Hong Kong where i felt everybody was selling the same stuff but just in a different area, I am not sure if you have the time, but for my upcoming trip I was planning to do some day trips outside of Bangkok such as Ayutthaya and floating markets. Maybe very touristy but its something I would like to cross of my life list since I would be in the area. Also if you are like me, eat everything you can haha. Street food, food courts and fine dining, Bangkok has it all. One of the reasons I rather go there then Philippines.
