Cheap accommodation in Thailand

I have not been to Thailand for a number of years so I can't vouch for the pricing policy of these places. I went there as a conference delegate and to research for a report, so I they were my classy days as a big spender. Yep, back in those days I was spending $US70/night - not my money mind you. Hard to change bad habits. Since these are likely to be the older hotels, they might still be cheap, though more likely rennovated.

1. President Inn, 155/14 Sukhumvit Soi 11, behind Siam Commercial Bank, Bangkok 10110. Tel: 66-2-255 4230-4, fax: 66-2-255 4235. Rooms were Baht 500-1000/night. Quiet rooms with bath/shower, hot water, air con, fridge, satellite TV, tel, business center, fax, copying machine. Near the Ambassador Hotel. Small apartment-style hotel.
2. Ambassador Hotel, 171 Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok 10110. Tel: 66-2-254 0444, fax: 253 4123. Cost $US70/night when booked from Philippines.

3. Asoke Place, 4/49 Soi Cowboy Sukhumvit 21 Road, Bangkok 10110. Fully-furnished rooms with air-conditioning, bath+shower. Cost Baht650/night. Reservations on tel: 66-2-258 3742, 3733, fax: 66-2-258 4338. Close to Old Windsor Hotel.
