Pradiphat Hotel is on the north side of Pradiphat Road when Mido is on the southern side so it cannot be the same. However Pradiphat Hotel is said to have short time rooms too (although I did not check as I stay in another Saphan Kwai Hotel when I am in town).

I will be in BKK on Monday - if I have time will scout out. But IIZ is right, this place was on Southern side near Mido. Does not look anything like a hotel, just like a row of car ports (a la Suriwong ground floor short time.) Anyway it may have been demolished by now and replaced with condos!! Maybe pop into Charming and ask the mamasan there?

If it was on the Mido Hotel side, it may have been the Chaopraya -- now demolished, I believe.

The Pradiphat Hotel short time rooms are across the soi from Charmming, if memory serves correct.

-- Today, (20th.), forenoon I chatted about short-time hotels in the S. KWAI area with my American & WYSIWYG. friend who's an occasonal patron of the PHAHON CINEMA.;
- From an admittedly shaky memory, and allowing that he's looking-back maybe a couple or so yrs. he suggested the flg. two places - both start with leaving the a/m. cinema and turning RIGHT, (walking against the OUT-going rd.-tfc.) -

1. - On the same side of Phahonyothin rd. as the cinema and before one will reach the P'tothin.:Pradiphat i'sect. an Indian run hotel, (RHS.), with ST. rooms avail on its 4fl. for 400.Bh.;
2. - Walk as far as the a/m. i'sect. (passing both the PAULO MEM'L. HOSP'L. & BIG C. on one's LHS.), cross-over using the pedestrian bridge, leave P'yothin. & Pradiphat rds. behind one and start walking with the tfc. along Suthisan rd - maybe for as much a 2M.!? (In wch. case MRT. Suthisan might be the better option than BTS. S. Kwai, [N7.],),?
