[quote=barcardi73] would like a few pointers on guest friendly hotels in bangkok if anyone can be of assistance

/QUOTE]
Three BKK hotels, all guest-friendly, which I highly recommend:
1)Hotel Federal on Soi 11. Well run, very nice pool, very good, inexpensive restaurant w/ A/C.
2) The same can be said for Honey Hotel on Soi 19, where I found the staff to be exceptionally nice.
3) If you don't care about a pool or restaurant, but like to have a nice little kitchen, a good view, and very good selection of TV stations(Espn, Cnn, BBC, movies, etc.), try Bright City Towers on Soi 11. When I came down with a bad case of the flu on last tour, having my own kitchen was a godsend, and the view and sports/movies on TV really smoothed out a rough couple of days. Run by a lady and her daughter, it is 11 stories of small apartment at hotel room prices. I paid 950 Baht for a studio apt. on 10th floor, which is very quiet also. Excellent value!
