Full Comfort at Budget Prices
by winnietankl about The Ecotel Bangkok
The new 3 star boutique hotel is located in a very famous shopping area `Pratunam' so it is very convenient, you can get not only street foods around the corner but 7-11, sea food restaurants, grocery stores, massage parlours, hair saloon and even morning market all just walking distant. The new and big shopping complex like Platinum 2 and others like MBK, Siam Paragon are about 15-20 walk from the hotel. You can also take the Airport Rail Link at Makkasan Station (about 20 min walk) direct to Suvarnabhumi International Airport for less than 50baht. The hotel is very clean, staffs are helpful too. I paid for 1,100baht per night and got 2 breadfast every morning at Cafe d Elite which is next few doors away from the hotels. The foods are fantastic and have a few varieties to choose from. Room has hair dryer, refrigerator, free wifi, IDD phone, cable TV and spacious too. I will surely recommend this hotel and would like to stay here again.

Hi -
The location is an OK but not great one - moderately convenient for Pratunam and its cheap clothing vendors but not too much else. It looks as if it's about a 1km walk or so down to the nearest Skytrain station at Chit Lom.
Cheers,
Jeremy

It's safe in bangkok, just stay away from protest areas.

I don't think you will have a problem in that area. That said, a protest group can show up anywhere. Unless you see a huge amount of police and army guys lining up on one side and the protesters on the other side you should be okay if they just walk by. Most of the action will be in areas closer to the government offices.
Pattaya should be no problem at all. Remember that transportation in the Pattaya City area is only 10 baht but only if you wave a moving baht bus down and just hop on. When you want to get off push the buzzer and just pay the driver 10 baht! If you tell the driver where to go you pay a custom price! Most areas in Pattaya you can reach with one or two baht bus rides. Baht bus rides are fixed routes, sometimes you hop off of one and then get another going in a different direction.
Lots of malls in Pattaya on Pattaya 2nd Road (Pattaya Sai Song) as well as street vendors, small shops, movie theaters, etc.

None of the shops at Siam Square vicinity are presently open (besides MBK) so pretty much a waste of time going.
No. I would not advise you to go to this area - this is the heart of the red-shirt protest. There are a hundred different other places to shop. Start with Pratunam market - that is unaffected at the moment.
