Found myself at the Rose Inn, on Charansanitwong Road, today for an internet hook-up.

I was very surprised (and pleased) that they had a channel of gay porn running. GOOD gay porn, too: some hot Japanese stuff, followed by Euro-twink. First time I think I have ever encountered this in a Bangkok short-time hotel.

-- Refering to my trusty Bangkok City Atlas* I see that Tnn. Charan Sanitwong is quite a long rd., (maybe 6 or MORE Miles. long!), on the THON BURI side of the river; however, it does not shew the ROSE INN, that I could see.
- Whereabouts along that rd. is it?
- Dirn's. - 'bus. etc. - appreciated.

Sexy Tiler, I am guessing Icon may have been refering to the Rose Town Hotel about 200 meters inside Charan Santiwong soi 40 on the left up a sub soi. 100. 29. 5.7 and 13. 46. 27.5 for Google earth.
May I suggest, you buy Thinknet's Mapmagic Bangkok 2008 CD for Bht299 at almost any SE-ED store. Unfortunately, only the out-of-print 2002 version shows the bus routes...but still valid info..largely. If we ever meet up at the bus stop infront of Samranron Park, I will lend you my copy!

No, it's a short-time hotel called the Rose Inn. Charansanitwong Road Soi 42. I have no clue about bus routes, but this is not the kind of hotel that has too many people arriving on foot if you know what I mean.

-- refering to my Bangkok City Atlas then it's across the river by RAMA VIII. Bridge to the WEST Bank and roughly where the main rd. & flyover make a sharp bend.
- My not-always-reliable Bangkok 'bus. Map* shews the flg. 'buses. as being possibly helpful -
#56.-- Democ'y. Mon't. > Krungton br. > CSW. rd.;
#108.- Victory Mon't. > K'ton. br. > CSW. rd.;
#203.- Gd. Palace > Pinklao br. > CSW. rd.;
#510.- Victory Mon't.> K'ton. br. > CSW. rd.;
#542.- As for #510..
- A good setting-down point for wch. to ask would appear to be PATA., and then a few hundred yds'. walk to one's destination on Soi 42..
