Si Lom exit 2, Sala Daeng exit 4) At one point the tallest building in the country, this vener-
able luxury hotel is a testament to how much things have changed in Bangkok. Renova-
tions have most of the rooms looking more contemporary than the flagrantly 1970s exteri-
or would suggest, but the hotel remains notable more for its convenient location and great
views than for its hip factor.

apartment over a hotel room, consider this branch of the Anantara chain. The 'Deluxe'
rooms are spacious, come equipped with a (relatively) functional kitchenette and dining
room, and share inviting facilities, ranging from pool to tennis court.
Lumphini Park & Th Phra Ram IV
If you were hitting the Asian hippie trail back in the 1970s, you would have laid your love
beads at a guesthouse in Soi Ngam Duphli, off Th Phra Ram IV, not too far from
Lumphini Park. Despite the decades that have passed, it's still an OK area for budget ac-
commodation, particularly along Soi Si Bamphen. There are also more upmarket options,
and getting there has been made even easier by the MRT stop at Lumphini.

the tidy dorm, shiny facilities and convenient location feel just right.
