Looking for a quieter guest house for 2 weeks in Bangkok. Soi Rambuttri has always been busy but not unduly noisy at night and the house is on the quieter end of the street. Had to pay over the odds to secure a room for the following day, would not take a deposit or reserve a room. Insisted we turn up at 12 o'clock and take our chance. Room extremely basic, very green, with thin curtains, scars where TV had been taken off the ceiling. Bed bases still in tatty plastic wrapping. No soap or anything other than toilet tissue, no top sheets on beds, just a woolly blanket, in the Bangkok heat? Air con switched off, its an extra on the B400 charge. Early evening they had a singer cum guitar strummer downstairs, where there is a outdoor eatery, who was very good, laid back and quiet. Worked his way through Dylan, Clapton etc and a bit of Pink Floyd. Pleasant to listen too as we lay in bed expecting sleep. His accompanist was the staff dragging tables and chairs around aimlessly, changing the layout, adding some, removing some. All pointless as there were no customers. When this finished the noisy music from the bars further down the street started up competing with one another, till early morning. The customers finally arrived and had a high old time screaming and giggling until around 2am. Then it went quiet until the loon with the chairs started again putting some away and rearranging the rest. We left as soon as possible after. Not to be confused with the Bella Bella Riverview in Samsen 2 area which is a fine place to stay.
