Well when May 11th arrives I should be a resident of Bangkok. I will be taking the TESOL at Text n Talk starting on the 16th. They recommended a hotel/apartment called P Mansion located at 27 Phaholyothin Soi 23. It is only 9000 Bhat amonth fully furnished (with pantry and maid service once a week). Have any of you stayed there or can you tell me about that particular part of Bangkok?
If the place turns out to be clean, with AC and have god security so you don't have to worry about leaving something in your room like a passport, that is a very very good price, 9000Baht/month. You can find lower, but I doubt it will meet your Western level of expectation.
