OT: Help with BKK Hotel Choice
Greetings!
I am in need of help. I need a cheapo BKK hotel (the two people I'm meeting up with are cheap).

Any suggestions? I have no idea which ones are in a "good" location (e.g.: close to nightclubs).
Thanks in advance.

I've always liked The Karnmanee Palace in the Saphan Kwai area. It is very popular with Asian business travelers and often is booked up. Internet single rate is 1100 baht, 1200 for a double. I can't recall any tourist-oriented nightclubs in the area (just a few karaoke bars and Thai-oriented gay bars), but the nearest Skytrain station is only a 10-15 minute walk, as is a new shopping mall. A 70-80 baht cab ride can take you most anywhere where the clubs are, and after rush hour it is a pretty quick trip. The rooftop swimming pool is a pleasant place is enjoy a late afternoon drink with a view of the Bangkok skyline. Karnmanee is also quite near the famous and massive Chatuchak weekend market where cheap friends can find many bargains on things like souvenirs, home furnishings, all things fabric, and spider monkeys .

Thanks for your replies and movement.
I'll be staying in Silom at the Holiday Inn Silom - should be good enough.
Has anyone been to Ko Chang? I'm just wondering as I can go there but only if I can get to Trat airport in time to catch the 0930 Bangkok Airways flight from Trat to BKK,.

(Ask for a renovated room at the Holiday Inn. Good restaurant 10 minutes walk from the HI, Ban Chiang (at least, it used to be good). Take Surasak south, pass 5 or 6 street food vendors, dodge a couple of motos, and head east 1/2 block.)
