Same same but not quite like this...
Thai's call it Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, although it's full name is much longer and the longest in the world, it seems. Remembered by the use of a song which we were given a rendition of by our taxi driver on our first day here, apparently only non Thai people actually refer to the capital as Bangkok!
In my view, Bangkok will always be a …

Nous raffolons tous les deux de la cuisine du pays siam et nous nous réjouissons d'en explorer toutes les saveurs. Malheureusement, nous n'avons que 10 jours au programme. Le dilemne était de choisir entre deux options. Option 1: visiter Bangkok et les villes du centre et nord (Sukhotai, Ayutthaya Chiang Mai, …
Last and lazy day
The bus stops at Khorat for its usual 20mins toilet and snack break but the driver has been having a few problems and it is more than an hour before we are on the move again. Dont know what the problems were but the cure seemed to be hitting the engine with a hammer ?! Phoned friend Phill in England whilst we waited to ensure that he was still OK …
The visa application is handed over ...
We stop at Khorat for our usual 20mins break about 01:00 then continue to Bangkok arriving at Mo Chit bus station about 05:00.
Taxi to New Siam I guest house in Banglamphu where we are far too early to get a room. Grab a coffee from the corner 7/11 then sit and wait for the guest house restaurant to open for breakfast. Just finishing breakfast …
Bangkok, die Letzte
Abschiede sind manchmal echt blöd. Gerade wenn man eine Woche im Paradies verbracht hat – und einen so langsam aber sicher die kalte, graue Welt zurück will. Nur sehr schweren Herzens haben wir Koh Chang verlassen. Nachdem wir uns von Chen verabschiedet hatten, machten wir uns auf den Weg zur Hauptstraße, wo wir direkt ein Sammeltaxi …

TravelPod Member ReviewsNew Siam Guest House I Bangkok
New Siam offers clean, good value accommodation very close to Khao San Rd - only a 5min walk or even quicker if you take the semi-hidden shortcut through the temple. We stayed in a twin room for 370bt with fan and share bath. They have single rooms for cheaper. The room was basic and clean with white sheets, a little hot, but that's just Bangkok. The guesthouse is 5 levels with cubicle showers and toilets on every level. Most of the time these are quite nice and clean. Just once they were a bit dirty, so I just went and showered on a different level. The first time we stayed on 4th floor. There isn't a lift...only a tiny one for luggage but we didn't mind the stairs. We felt secure, comfortable and quite at home here after a few days. The staff were a little subdued but are friendly and helpful when asked. We ate at the restaurant a couple of times. It was good, particularly the chocolate croissants...yum! All in all great location, clean, secure and budget friendly. It's all you need really.

Good location close to kaosan rd and Rambuttri. Twin room with share bathroom good size room, fan good (no aircon but a good alternative on a budget). The showers were ok, really dirty on the window ledge above but the cubical was fine. The staff friendly and the cafe downstairs good. All in all a fine place on a budget, really is no frills but you get what you pay for.
