for those who are on a tight budget and like to stick with what they know, ibis opened two new hotels in bangkok last year, ibis siam and ibis huamark.

ibis siam is located a rather unpleasant “five-minute walk” from victory monument and costs 850 baht per night in november 2007.

ibis huamark is located in ramkhamhaeng, a 20-minute taxi ride from suvarnabhumi airport, but a fair distance from any tourist attractions. it is close to abac university and, for shopping, the mall ramkhamhaeng. there is a swimming pool. the cost in november 2007 is 600 baht per night, a bargain for an international branded hotel.

wi-fi is available at both hotels and breakfast is served from 0400 to 1200.
