Bangkok's former YMCA has changed relatively little, but a peek inside reveals one of
the city's sleekest, sexiest hotels. A recent renovation has all 171 rooms looking better
than ever in striking tones of black, white and yellow.

This seemingly endless urban thoroughfare is Bangkok's unofficial International Zone and
also boasts much of the city's accommodation, ranging from the odd backpacker hostel to
sex tourist hovels and five-star luxury.

Nana exit 3) Extremely well run and equally popular, this rambling building is an oasis
of wood and greenery in the urban jungle that is Th Sukhumvit. The cheaper rooms have
shared bathrooms, and although they've somehow managed to stuff nearly 100 rooms in
there, you'll still need to book at least two weeks ahead.
