Does anyone have the (direct) e-mail address for the Park Hotel? Wanted to talk to them about monthly rates, but all I find in google are the 3rd party booking agents.

I booked the Park through an internet site, and am there now. So I'll answer my own question for posterity:
http://www.parkhotelbkk.com/
Park Hotel Bangkok Thailand
6 Sukhumvit 7 (Lertsin), Bangkok 10110, Thailand Phone : (+662) 255-4300 Fax: (+662) 255-4309 Email: parkbkk@parkhotelbkk.com Tlx : 22173 PARKHTL TH
Not sure how long I'll stick around, though.
The first room I had, on the fourth floor, I rejected outright. The lightswitches were greasy, some of the bulbs were burnt out; all around a filthy room.
The second room, on the first floor, did not appear to have been cleaned before I got there. I wiped something off of the toilet seat before use. A big room, lots of furniture. But lots and lots of roaches. And ants. And a mouse. Stayed the night, as I didn't feel like changing rooms right then.
Trying to make myself feel better about the situation, I asked the bargirl I had with me: "do you have beetles in your room too?" (as we watch several of them up on the crown molding, aentenna waving about wildly). Her answer was no, don't have that kind of thing in her room.
The window sills were rotten, the ceiling tiles in the bathroom (suspended ceiling) were extremely water stained.
In the morning, I went to wash my hands and the soap was missing from the sink. I looked all around, but could not find it. Did the girl steal the f'n soap? Can't be. Who the hell steals a (used) bar of soap? Yet I can't find it. Not in the trash, not on the floor. Maybe she flushed it? Later that morning, taking a dump with the door open, looking out at the wardrobe, I see the soap - half pulled into a littled chewed out hole in the base. With rodent teeth marks all over it.
The mouse stole the soap. Why the soap?! I had chocolate bars laying on the table.
On the recommendation of a friend, I came to this hotel. I called him and was ready to move right then. He persuaded me to try out a (third) room he'd had before, and had good luck with. Big big room, cheap if one stays for a bit. Ok, ok. I'll go for that room.
No ants. It has a mouse hole, but nothing pushed out the paper I shoved in there on the first two days (I think the maid finally took it out later). Still some roaches, although fewer.
But, a huge room. Twin beds put together into something like a california king. And cheap. And convienent location. A little roach spray seems to help, but god knows I shouldn't be the one spraying this place. It really needs a whole-building fumigation, and then a month for all the dead mice to decompose fully and stop stinking in their wall-cavity graves.
Oh yeah. As I sit here, I'm noticing that the (poorly insulated) wall outlet for my TV and my neighbors are the same. He likes loud rap music from MTV. I don't. But I get to listen to it nonetheless.
No free water in the minibar, either. 40 baht is the cheapest, for smallish bottle. Breakfast is terrible - a small roach scurried across one of the serving tables, and the food was cold.
Carpet in the hallway is atrocious. It looks like an underfunded charity home for vagrants. Stains and decrepitude everywhere.
But the room I have is all-in-all pretty decent for the price (550bht/day monthly rate). Hell, the Manhattan had some roaches too.

I agree with TJ...I stayed at the Parkk when it was new...quite a nice hotel.
Not a days maintenance has been done siince by the smell of it.
Last time I stayed there I had a fiirst floor room at the front.
The walk to it was bad enough, the smell in the corridors was just old and stale and they were dark and dinghy....and that crummy lift.
The rooms were worse, stale carpets, some liights not working...just awful.
Later that evening I'd had enough and asked for a change of room. The second room was (as I remember it) second floor in the newer block. Better, but still below a decent standard.
I checked out the next morning.
really gross hotel..........

I have gone through the lobby many times on way to Beer Garden from Grand President. Judging from that seemed an ok hotel. It consistently however gets very bad reports from members. Never judge a book by the cover.

Indeed. The lobby looks reasonable. Try going upstairs sometime - just ascend the steps, and look at the upstairs lobby/landing. You'll understand what I'm talking about just by looking at the floors.

Spending a bit of time in the Park lately.
Why did I just wake up at 6am? Because I heard the sound of plastic rustling. That is, the plastic grocery sack being used to line the waste basket.
Could it be the aircon? NO. Aircon doesn't move that much air. Then a bottlecap drops.
Hello Mr. Mouse.
I've seen your droppings, but as they were always hard as a rock, I allowed myself to be lulled into believing that they were non-current. (They do a poor job of cleaning at the Park, so that's not an unreasonable lulling)
What's funny is that, of the two waste cans, one contained naught but a bottle cap. The other contained a sack that had held deep-fried frogs from the bug vendor. The mouse was in the one with only a bottle cap. Why?
1. Location - proximity to the area I know it comes from. Same location a mouse came from in another room I was in at the Park (see above discussion by me).
2. Cleaning. The maids only recently started lining the waste cans with Foodland bags. But they don't change the bloody things - only dump them out. So any food (or other organic substance) residue was still there.
Although I can't help but wonder if the little bastard had the bottle cap (Singha) in his mouth when I startled him. Otherwise, why would it have anywhere to fall to?
Both sacks are now outside the room, across the hall.
