@bozo First of all, i would suggest that you stay in Soi 11 Sukhumvit area...that is a major tourist destination...the bts sky train station is within walking distance. btw the skytrain is a cheap, fast and affordable way to travel within Bangkok...having said that you can stay at 1.Radisson Suites Bangkok Sukhumvit 2.Grand President Bangkok 3. Ambassador Hotel Bangkok ..... or you can go to www.booking.com and look for hotels near Sukhumvit Soi 11, and search according to your preferences...you can plug in price limits and other options like free breakfast, swimming pool etc and the website will find you a hotel that matches your preference
