Bike friendly hotel Banngkok.

Hi Folks,

Anyone have any good recommendations for bike friendly hotels in Bangkok. Ideally it would have a bit of space to put the bike together and box it up at the end of the trip. The hotel would also look after the box for me for a month.

I'd rather stay over on the Sukhumvit side of town, than the khao San road area.

Anything up to about the £50 (BH2500) a night sort of mark would do.

Cheers Folks.

Earlier this year 2 of us stayed at KT Guest house 600B-700B.

An ideal place to assemble a bicycle well out of the city, close to Don Muang airport. Dbl, A/C room, Wi-Fi 40B extra, swimming pool

We reserved via email and all was good.

May not be the place you want to be though. Quiet area

sananwan palace is convenient if flying in/out of suvarnabhumi international airport.

south of the airport, good roads not too traffic-y.

I second the KT Guest House. For what you get the prices are great. There's a nice little pool that hardly anyone uses, and the rooms are large enough to unpack/pack and assemble/disassemble most bikes. Hallways and staircases are nice and wide, and there's a good sized garden/common area if you need to do any other work. Boxes can be stashed for free in the storage area beneath the steps. Also, no need to pay anything ahead of time if you book online or by phone.

As onrrbike noted, though, it is in a fairly quiet area, though it's not too far from the subway.

Lately, I've also been using Shanti Lodge in the Dusit District off of Samsen, north of Banglamphu. They're bike friendly, will keep boxes, etc., but you probably won't be able to store your bike in your room. You can lock it up on the main floor, though. They always find room for mine, and always out of the way.

KT is a bit better in terms of being bike-friendly, but I think that Shanti is in a much better area for food, riding, etc.

One other good thing about Shanti is that it is close to Velo Thailand, a pretty decent bike shop off of Samsen a few soi's up from the Banglamphu Canal. Just in case you need some parts, service, or if you want someone else to package up your bike for the trip home.
