First time B'kok. Apartment rental advice sought

[Kiwi306]

Thanks for the recommendation Olddaddy. It certainly has great reviews and seems good value. What I like about QS is that I get upgraded more often than not, when available, which is a real bonus.

Hey, Durian.

I wonder if you gave arrived at Quarter Saladaeng yet.

If you are interested, there are orchestral concerts in Lumpini Park at 530pm on Sundays.

I've always enjoyed staying at QS and I hope you have an enjoyable stay.

We've been here two weeks. Both full of cold and cough so off to a slow start.

We did visit Lumphini last Sunday afternoon. Very enjoyable.

QS is a bit tired but the location is perfect.

Oh dear, I hope the haze hasn't made it worse for you. Get well soon!

We're over the worst of it, we've stayed close to home while we're feeling rubbish.  We can be found loitering around Dusit food basement, Tops supermarket for supplies, and Lumphini to enjoy the cats and never ending legs in tiny shorts jogging past us. 

We had one night 'off our faces' in silom 4, drinking, in the first few days here.

We've got two weeks left here, we were going to stay two months but decided to rent an apartment in Pattaya for the second month.  

Bangkok is wonderful but two months here could prove a bit much for us and I wouldn't mind a paddle....
