Rikka Inn

decent hotel

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was close to the touristy places like grand palace, Buddha statues, and temples.

I was unaware that the location would be hippy central for all the white people suffering their post-grad life crises. Lots of weathered westerners trying to look like they wished they looked in college. Weird place. Far from the heart of Bangkok, and far from the normal Thai people, and far from the train system. Not good if you are trying to get real Thai experience. Good if you want to be surrounded by white Europeans with dreads and broken dreams.
