Well..... It's been around 6-7 months since I was last at the BBB and it now seems that your friends report was in fact spot on. I went there tonight and dam if the bathroom was not full of black mold.

I was on the floor 3, and then asked for another room and it was same-same. They said it was not mold but a discloration of the tile. It happen in all the rooms. Well, it did not smell bad and the rest of the room was clean.

So, I eat my own words, sorry your friend was correct. Time to check out Suriwong. Anyone with current infor on the Suriwong and I guess in Thailand current has a specal meaning.

-- Thanks for yr. reply - but no harm done, such things do happen.

-- SURIWONGSE HOTEL has two types of short time rooms available:
1.- 'Refurbished.' at 500.Bh. for 3hrs.;
2.- 'Used, absused & misused.' at 300/350.Bh. for 3hrs.; from my own experience: quean-sized beds with lumpy mattresses; TV., (but no porn. movies.), en-suite facilities with HOT water showers; clean & freshly laundered towels; room-svce. for refreshments; Condoms available. If judged necessary bring/buy yr. own tooth-brush, mouth-wash etc. from the FAMILY MART just opp. by Soi Twilight.
- Usually I walk-through where its short time rooms are situated and they don't seem to be all that busy.

-- Today, (05th. - HM. the King's Birthday.), at b'fast. my Enthusiastic & American Friend suggested availing of the BAVANA HOTEL., on Suriwong rd.. He ack'd. that the BAVANA is MORE expensive, but - in his opinion - the extra outlay is worth it.

-- Possibly EVE HOUSE., Suriwong rd., (roughly opp. to Tnn. Thaniya, [aka. 'Little JP.,],), might be suitable as they offer rooms at 300.Bh., (although the last time that I looked, [several yrs. ago now.], the rooms are really basic: No air-cond., just a ceiling-fan; single & steel-framed beds; shared facilities, threadbare towels etc.), but I have never enquired there about short timers specifically.

I stayed there maybe 5 years ago, for maybe 3 mights, and the toilet kept backing up/overflowing. They seemed to know all about it but never fixed it.
