Bangkok is full with serviced apartment buildings aimed at the executive market. Though not cheap, they work out very well while compared with hotels offering related (or more often inferior) rooms and suites; internet specials are general and some apartments were renting for US$62 per day when we looked. Rates usually include serviced apartments such as: daily cleaning, kitchenette, internet and direct-dial telephones, plus on-site business and fitness centers and a pool.
Numerous options are concentrated on centrally located Soi Lang Suan, between Chid Lom and Lumphini, while others gather on the other side of Lumphini Park in the Silom business region. The Centrepoint group (www.centrepoint.com) is the largest manager of serviced apartments in Bangkok, with seven buildings across Bangkok.
Others those we like include:

Pathumwan House has more modest rooms at more modest prices, or if you’re on a microscopic budget the guesthouses around Soi Ngam Duphli welcome long stayers.
