Party animals and anyone who wants to put in very little effort to find their room should consider staying on Khao San Road proper. Those seeking a slightly more laid-back atmosphere within easy walking distance of the action might opt to stay just North of Khao San Road, or Between Khao San Road and the river. The nearby Riverfront boasts some swankier options, while the Democracy Monument area puts you a bit closer to a slew of important temples and palaces. Though further from Khao San Road and the Historic Centre, the generally quieter accommodation of Samsen, National Library and beyond offers better value and lots of character.
The always-thumping heart of Thailand's backpacker scene, Khao San Road runs for a mere half-kilometre from Chakrabongse Road in the west to Tanao Road in the east. Studded with traveller-oriented cafes, noisy bars and street carts selling pad Thai, fried bugs and fake degrees, this is the centre of the action.
Tucked into Soi Mayom within a stone's throw of central Khao San, Laksameenarai Guesthouse has a name that's hard to remember and a frontage that doesn't exactly reach out and grab you. If you can overcome those obstacles, it's a cosy spot occupying an attractive heritage house overshadowed by the low-rise neighbours. What's this beautiful old house doing here? Owners...

Rikka's rooms are a lot snazzier and comfier than your typical Khao San guesthouse -- and rates are reasonable given the generous creature comforts. Clean and modern rooms come in a few different sizes, all with quality beds, small TVs, mini-fridges, safes, air-con, desks and hot-water showers in bathrooms that are compact in the cheaper rooms. Colourful Bangkok photo collages cover the orange... Read our full review of Rikka Inn.

Opened in 2013 on a prime piece of real estate just off Khao San Road, Baan Chart Hotel has emerged as a solid midrange choice with clean rooms, creature comforts and plenty of Chinese longevity symbols for a bit of style. The fairly large property exemplifies the upmarket trend steadily sweeping over an area that, in the past, catered mainly to budget travellers. Wait, is this Khao San or...

Dominating the far eastern end of Khao San Road, Buddy Lodge is a large, comfortable and popular hotel that's been around for many years. The location is central, room decor unexpectedly classy and value excellent if you book online. A rooftop swimming pool and fitness centre sweeten the deal. Still one of Khao San's biggest and best. Buddy Group's flagship location occupies an... Read our full review of Buddy Lodge.

This featureless guesthouse occupies a large concrete building down the alley next to Khao San Centre, one of the liveliest bars around. You'll no doubt hear the blaring music at night, though an air-con room in the back corner should be quiet enough for most. If you're looking to party anyway, this is an adequate choice for a well-kept room with plenty of shared hot-water bathrooms on all... Read our full review of Budget Guesthouse.
Tucked away off the Tanao Road end of Khao San, Chada Hostel remains one of the most dependable budget options around. While the featureless building scores few style points, it's solid value for backpackers hunting a clean room on the cheap. A 500-baht air-con room at Chada. Spruced up a few years ago, the five-storey concrete building has a tiny reception desk on the ground floor and a... Read our full review of Chada Hostel.
Situated down an alley just back from the centre of Khao San, Charoendee occupies one of the newer buildings that have been designed to look like restored heritage architecture. The amber-yellow exterior walls and patterned tile floors are more interesting than grey cement, but they don't make the place "boutique." In fact, this is a straightforward budget option with basic private rooms... Read our full review of Charoendee Boutique Hostel.
Flashpacker factory the D&D Inn is quite reasonable value for good, clean rooms and professional staff in the middle of the Khao San Road action. The "Inn" has proven so popular over the years that owners gobbled up a huge area across the street and created the similar but slightly more expensive Dang Derm in 2010. Having undergone renovations itself in 2012, D&D should suffice for most. A... Read our full review of D&D Inn.

Best swimming pool on Khao San is a key selling point for Dang Derm Hotel, a more mature sister to D&D Inn across the street. Looming over a part of the strip known for its party scene, the sprawling yellow building arrived around 2010 and exemplifies a gradual gentrification of the backpacker hood. It's a fine choice for a comfy room that puts you right on top of the action. The biggest... Read our full review of Dang Derm.

Occupying a large building that sprawls between Khao San and Trok Mayom, Khaosan Park has emerged as a far more modern and inviting option than its predecessor Nana Plaza Inn. Guests arrive through a classy white hallway before entering the spacious lobby with shared computers in the corner and a few sofas to lounge on. The exceptionally cheerful and welcoming receptionist on duty when we came by... Read our full review of Khaosan Park Resort.

The New Joe Guesthouse isn't very new anymore, but it's still a reliable budget option with an inviting restaurant/bar and reasonable rooms. Some travellers will be thrown by the hidden-away location on Trok Mayom (the alley that runs parallel to Khao San to the south), though it's a fairly quiet spot that's only a two-minute walk from the action. You could do a lot worse than... Read our full review of New Joe Guesthouse.
Right next to At Home on the alley that runs behind Tanao, Walk Inn is arguably the better option for those on a shoestring budget. Marked only by a small chalkboard sign, the spacious yet sparsely furnished ground floor is refreshing after the cluttered and cramped confines that are typical of Khao San. An old lady chopping veggies here smiled and pointed us up a flight of stairs to a small... Read our full review of Walk Inn Guesthouse.
Cheap and clean says Lek Guesthouse's card, and it's not far from the truth. If they added noisy and basic as can be, it'd be right on the money. This is definitely not a luxury joint, but backpackers hunting for a dirt-cheap room smack in the middle of the Khao San craziness should look no further. Light sleepers, early risers and, strange as it sounds, Thai travellers, should look... Read our full review of Lek Guest House.
New Central is another budget choice on chilled out Tanao Rd, offering a more relaxed vibe while remaining within staggering distance of the Khao San perma-carnival. The key to making the most of this place is to ask for a balcony room at the front of the building as the ones at the back are windowless and cramped. Rooms with balconies get great breezes, while rooms without windows can get stuffy... Read our full review of New Central Guest House.
Covering West Banglamphu from Lamphu canal in the north down to Ratchadamnoen Avenue in the south and the Chao Phraya River in the west, this section includes laid-back Phra Arthit Road along with atmospheric West Soi Rambutri and other alleys surrounding Wat Chana Songkhram. While it's less of an all-out party vibe than nearby Khao San itself, you'll still find loads of eating, drinking and meeting spots to go with countless cheap guesthouses. Think of it as Khao San lite.
Clean rooms, good-quality beds and staff who give a hoot are not so easy to find in the Khao San neighbourhood. One place that offers all of this plus a relaxing rooftop terrace and great location is BB House. The name stands for "Best Bed," and indeed the small air-conditioned guesthouse is a terrific option for a good night's sleep on the cheap. Lots of foot traffic around... Read our full review of BB House.
Tucked down a quiet alley off a lively stretch of Soi Rambutri, Lamphu House remains a top budget choice thanks to clean rooms at reasonable rates, pleasant staff and a great location. A large tree drapes over a relaxing terracotta-tiled courtyard with tables spread far apart in front of the four-storey building. With flush white walls and tile floors, rooms are generously sized, bright and... Read our full review of Lamphu House.
Part of a small collection of properties run by the New Siam group, New Siam II Guesthouse is an affordable option for flashpackers and families keen on enjoying a swimming pool and excellent old city location. Though older rooms are showing some wear, the value is still among the best of any hotel in this part in Bangkok. You call that a guesthouse? New Siam II covers two large five-storey... Read our full review of New Siam II Guest House.
The newest of New Siam's collection of good-value flashpacker haunts in the Phra Arthit Road vicinity, New Siam Palace View was unveiled in early 2015. It follows the same recipe for success as its sisters: comfy, well-equipped rooms at affordable rates, and a swimming pool. This one comes with the advantage of Grand Palace views from the upper floors. Building new; street art old. Like the... Read our full review of New Siam Palace View Guesthouse.
In a charmingly dilapidated neighbourhood, Apple Guest House is a throwback to another era. It was one of a handful of the original guesthouses to open way back in the early 1980s, long before developers realised the big-profit potential of the Khao San Road area. Hardly changed a wink after all those years, Apple remains a worthy option for dirt-cheap digs and old-style Thai hospitality. A... Read our full review of Apple Guest House.
Taking its name from the nearby Phra Sumen Fort, the four-storey Fortville offers 29 rooms with a sort of medieval-modern theme, if such a thing exists. A tall doorway with crosses in the polished concrete (resembling those in the actual fort) gives way to a ground-floor coffee shop and reception. Reached via a lift, the clean rooms are simple yet well thought out, with a minimalist design, soft... Read our full review of Fortville Guesthouse.
Rates at Mango Lagoon dropped slightly since our last visit -- a good sign that the place could use some upgrades. The pale yellow six-storey building sits just behind an atmospheric wood-floored courtyard restaurant shaded by tall reaching palms and punctuated by a goldfish pond. Reached by stairs next to the reception desk where a blase woman greeted us, rooms are accessed by open-air hallways... Read our full review of Mango Lagoon Place.

The popular Merry V is a large and basic guesthouse representing solid value on the low budget end. The property has two buildings: the concrete block that fronts the street comes with very basic but clean fan-cooled rooms with shared cold-water facilities; the rear building offers larger, slightly better fan and air-con rooms with private bathrooms and large windows. Both buildings feel... Read our full review of Merry V Guest House.
If you don't mind a complete lack of bells and whistles, New Merry V Guest House on Phra Arthit Road remains one of the Khao San area's better budget spots despite its well-worn appearance. You can choose between spartan fan rooms up front and surprisingly bright air-con editions in a second building out back. Both are cleaner than most dirt cheap options in this part of town. Doesn't... Read our full review of New Merry V Guest House.
Located on the bend near the back end of Soi Rambutri, O Bangkok gets it done with clean rooms that have zero character and a staff that's about as personable as a concrete wall. If you don't mind the lack of a smile (also: no Thai people allowed here), the rooms are reasonable. Some come with large windows to brighten your day, and all are equipped with both air-con and ceiling fans; save 37... Read our full review of O Bangkok.
Rambuttri Village sprawls over two large buildings just back from Soi Rambutri and near the corner of Chakrabongse, within a three-minute stumble of Khao San. Apart from the excellent location, everything about the place is mediocre and the value isn't great, but it's a huge property that does assure you some creature comforts. The courtyard restaurant between the newer and older building is... Read our full review of Rambuttri Village.

The newish Adamaz House specializes in comfy and spotless midrange rooms down an easy-to-miss alley near Phra Sumen Fort. Stepping into the gleaming lobby with bright white floors and full wall-size mirrors and windows feels a bit like being picked up by Starship Enterprise. Accessed by a lift, rooms have a sterile feel that's warmed up only slightly by dark-violet walls and swirly Thai-style... Read our full review of Adamaz House.

This small area on the other side of Tanao Road has a handful of places to stay and is home to the nearest post office to Khao San Road.
This section covers the immediate north of Khao San Road, east of Chakrabongse Road, south of Lamphu canal and west of Wat Bovorniwet. Included here is East Soi Rambutri, which runs parallel to Khao San and has a similar atmosphere. Just beyond that lie Tani and Kraisi roads, both good choices if you're looking to be slightly removed from the action. A few of Bangkok's best hostels are found in this neighbourhood.
Hidden behind racks of clothes for sale near Khao San Road, Baan Bovorn is a fine choice for budget travellers seeking a cosy, homely hostel experience. This family-run spot is clean and inviting, with no shortage of character. The artwork really adds a lot. Opened in mid 2013, the hostel occupies one of the tall and narrow four-storey 'townhouses' that popped up by the hundreds in Bangkok... Read our full review of Baan Bovorn.

Bangkok's Khao San Road area has a reputation for grungy budget digs and some of the most apathetic receptionists in Thailand. Rang Kha Mhin Homestay bucks this trend with spotless, reasonably priced rooms, organic food and a thoughtful, caring staff. Opened earlier this year, Rang Kha Mhin is a breath of fresh air in the backpacker district. There's a fresh new hostel in town. While... Read our full review of Rang Kha Mhin Homestay.
One of the best among several upmarket guesthouses near Khao San Road, Villa Cha-Cha is well-suited to flashpackers seeking a comfortable room and a swimming pool. With entrances both on Soi Rambutri and Tani Road, the top selling point is a huge expanse of common space, soothing and fairly quiet, within an easy stumble of the action. Look, trees! Tucked between rows of shophouses on either... Read our full review of Villa Cha-Cha.

It looks like a tiny place from the street front, but the backpacker-friendly Boworn B.B. goes back and back and up and up and is full of rooms above your standard Khao San fare — at not unreasonable rates. Set in a heritage shophouse across the street from Wat Bovornivet (hence the name), the rooms are spacious but basic, with wood floors and thin mattresses on creaky metal bed frames.... Read our full review of Boworn B.B. Guesthouse.
Quite possibly Bangkok's most popular hostel, NapPark is consistently full of youthful backpackers looking to meet up and have some fun. We found the facilities mediocre, staff disorganised and value a bit questionable, but the highly social atmosphere is all that most guests seem to care about. Pull up a cushion. NapPark always buzzes with activity, and it's unusual that the cheaper beds... Read our full review of NapPark Hostel.

Pannee has better rooms than nearby Thai Cozy House for similar rates -- at least if you walk in rather than booking online. The cheapest rooms are more functional than stylish, with tan tile floors, air-con, tiny TVs hanging from the ceiling, windows facing a wall, good quality beds with fresh sheets, mosquito nets (unexpected), large bureaus and small bathrooms with a wall separating the...

Part of a dying breed of no-frills guesthouses with private rooms for as much as many hostels now charge for bunks, RM still does the trick for backpackers who just need a bed and some privacy. The place occupies an old concrete shophouse with a fairly spacious cafe on the ground floor. Rooms are reached via a winding wooden staircase. We're talking small box-like rooms with nothing more than... Read our full review of RM Guest House.
Opened in 2011 on a bustling stretch of eastern Soi Rambutri, Sakul's characterless exterior conceals charming rooms with lots of thoughtful touches. The owner's background in the fabric trade shows in the high-quality linens and silk butterfly pillows on semi-firm beds. While not quite as large as we'd hope for the prices, the rooms are very inviting thanks to parquet wood floors, soft lighting,... Read our full review of Sakul House.

Right in the middle of eastern Soi Rambutri and very close to Khao San, Sleep WithInn aims for youthful flashpackers who want to be in the middle of the action. The so-called boutique decor includes a lot of dark gold, orange and black Asian-inspired art along with dark wood and large mirrors that attempt to make the 12-square-metre standard rooms feel bigger than they are. With only one tiny... Read our full review of Sleep WithInn.

A five-minute stroll from Khao San Road, the one-year-old Suneta Hostel is the first we've seen in Bangkok to offer a true 'luxury pod' experience. Closing yourself off behind a sliding wood door in a one-person bunk may sound like torture to the claustrophobic, but it's become a popular fad in several Asian cities. If you prefer a more traditional bunk bed set-up, Suneta supplies that... Read our full review of Suneta Hostel.

A five-minute walk from Khao San Road, Hello Guest House bills itself as an "all new Thai boutique". Both "new" and "boutique" are laughably false, but Hello is worth keeping in mind if you're in the market for a decent dorm bed or cheap private room that's well kitted out. Where's the barber shop quartet? Upon entering the bright lobby/cafe with a black, red and white theme... Read our full review of Hello Guest House.
Once considered a top flashpacker choice, Thai Cozy is now past its prime and will be forced to lower rates if it doesn't renovate soon. That said, it's still one of the friendlier options around, and with a wide array of rooms spanning a large building, it's a good place to keep in mind during busier times of years. The windowless standard that we checked out was faded: old air-con, old fridge,... Read our full review of Thai Cozy House.

Expect a 10- to 20- minute walk to Khao San Road if staying in this large area that spans everything from the north of Lamphu canal up to Thewet pier and the Dusit palaces. Picturesque old houses, low-key cafes, leafy streets and quiet nights define the area -- at least if you're away from bustling Samsen Road itself. You'll find some excellent boutique hotels along with several good-value guesthouses, a few of which have been open for decades.
Just north of Khao San Road, Born Free Hostel offers tremendous value for clean and comfortable dorms. A heightened level of hospitality and several thoughtful touches set this edgy, backpacker-friendly spot apart from the rest. This is one of the best in Bangkok for anyone on a tight budget who doesn't mind sharing sleeping space with members of the opposite sex. A little slice of...

Have you ever dreamed of taking an ordinary old shophouse and turning it into a plush urban pad? The family who runs Loog Choob Homestay on the fringes of Bangkok's old city did exactly that. What used to be a rundown, uninspiring building underwent a complete transformation, and the result is an intimate place to stay with no shortage of comfort or style. Loog Choob is a sophisticated...

The Phranakorn Nornlen experience takes you straight into the creative soul of Thai culture. Comfortable rooms and abundant common spaces are adorned with imaginative murals; vintage displays lend the feel of a classic Thai market; and daily workshops encourage guests to create their own masterpieces. Even if you don't stay here, it's worth stopping by for the arts, crafts, antiques and... Read our full review of Phra Nakorn Norn Len.
Set in a restored Thai house (the original building was built in 1936) Baan Chantra offers a classy and intimate place to stay a 15-minute walk north of Khao San Road. Lovingly decorated and fitted out, the rambling house incorporates a variety of rooms, both big and small and both on and off the noisy Samsen Rd. Polished wood throughout, all rooms have private bathroom facilities, air-con,... Read our full review of Baan Chantra.
Quiet location, immaculate accommodation, exceptional service, classy decor and intimate atmosphere: that's Baan Manusarn's simple recipe for success. From the friendly greeting to homely common spaces and spotless corners, it's easy to see why this cosy bed and breakfast has earned such a phenomenal reputation after just two years in business. This is one spot that you'll want to book... Read our full review of Baan Manusarn Bed and Breakfast.

It's not so often that we come across a "boutique" hotel that warrants the term, but Baan Tepa Boutique House in the low key historical district of Dusit gets it just right. With eight reasonably priced, artistically rendered rooms to choose from, this is an excellent choice for those seeking an intimate bed & breakfast experience with plenty of antiquarian charm. If you can't find it,... Read our full review of Baan Tepa Boutique House.

Bewel Hostel is one of the cleanest and friendliest choices in an area where hostels are popping up faster than flowers in the rainy season. From the bubble-gum pink facade to the giant windows and immaculate dorms, everything about the place is bright and cheerful. At first glance we thought it was a new ice cream shop. Opened in 2014, Bewel's charming pink-and-white theme couldn't be... Read our full review of Bewel Hostel.

A handful of hostels have emerged in the Khao San Road area to challenge the old presumption that cheap dorms must be filled with cockroaches and cranky staffs. One such game-changer is Khaosan Immjai, a bright, clean and comfy hostel that opened in July 2013. This place is a winner. The Thai word imm-jai literally translates as full heart, an expression that denotes inner contentment. With a... Read our full review of Khaosan Immjai Hostel.
Year-old Korbua House is one of a few midrange hotels to have recently materialised in Bangkok's Samsen area, just north of Khao San Road. Tucked beside Khlong Lamphu canal, the hotel offers fully kitted out rooms with more charm than some of its larger new counterparts. For flashpackers seeking a comfortable stay in the city's historical district, Korbua is a solid choice. Making the most... Read our full review of Korbua House.

One of the more reliable midrange hotels in the general Khao San Road vicinity, Lamphu Tree House balances comfort and professionalism with an old-style Thai elegance that draws on golden teakwood recycled from old houses. Though a bit difficult to find, the canal-side location makes this a quiet choice for families and flashpackers. Hence the name. Named after the canal that it sits next to,... Read our full review of Lamphu Tree House.
Hidden in a back-alley location near Khao San Road, Phiman Riverview Guesthouse is a good choice for artsy backpackers looking to meet and chill. In a city where most riverside rooms are reserved only for the well-heeled, Phiman offers fantastic Chao Phraya views to go with basic digs for under 200 baht a night. While not for everyone, it certainly is one of a kind. Ready for something... Read our full review of Phiman Riverview Guesthouse .

Named after the leafy side street where it's located, Sam Sen Sam Place was one of the first Khao San area guesthouses to go with a classic Thai-style boutique design that's very well done well. The original century-old wooden house was revamped with a charming blend of sky blue, pastel pink and teal paint to go with dark timber floors and tall, thin windows with soft cotton drapes. Rooms vary... Read our full review of Sam Sen Sam Place.
Located a 10-minute walk from Khao San Road, Samsen Skyline Hostel aims for friendliness over trendiness and value over style. You won't find glossy entertainment rooms or uniformed staff at Skyline, but it's a solid choice for backpackers seeking a cheap and casual place to stay. Cheerfully simple. An easy walk north of Khao San's western end, south of the Dusit palaces, and east of the... Read our full review of Samsen Skyline Hostel.
The longstanding Shanti Lodge was among the first Bangkok guesthouses to go "cool" with lattes, Vivaldi, vegetarian food and no smoking back in the '80s. It remains popular with earthy-crunchy backpackers, even if some will find the "coolness" contrived. Shanti has enjoyed a long and successful run, but has it become a fading star? A longstanding stalwart. Though Shanti has undergone... Read our full review of Shanti Lodge.
Part of an increasing upmarket trend in the Khao San area, Chillax is a low-rise luxury hotel that's impossible to miss on the otherwise sleepy Samsen Soi 2. The sleek white building opens into an airy lobby/lounge/restaurant/bar with blinding silver accents, patterned black-and-white tile floors and gaudy purple chairs. The rooms also get a bit tacky in places, especially the pink lotus-inspired... Read our full review of Chillax Resort.

Well-situated just over Lamphu canal and with friendly and helpful staff, the Diamond House is a good choice for flashpackers who want to be close to the Khao San action without being right in the middle of it. A garish Chinese shrine that's attached to the bright orange-and-green seven-storey building make the whole package seem rather kitsch at first glance, but inside things are quite tasteful... Read our full review of Diamond House.
Located all the way at the end of Samsen Soi 6 in a fairly quiet spot, the nondescript Roofview Place is a good choice if you seek a clean and functional room with great service. Decor is lacking flair -- mostly white walls with a few modern couches and tile floors -- but the whole place is spotless. The helpful staff makes up for the lack of bells and whistles with great attitudes. They also... Read our full review of Roofview Place.
Established way back in 1980, the still-very-much-alive Sawatdee is a relic of the early days of backpacking in Thailand. Rather than go boutique or attempt to transform into something more modern, the owner has stuck to her original recipe of dirt-cheap rooms and an unpretentious atmosphere that feels how staying in a local's home should feel. Clambering up and down the steep stairs is like... Read our full review of Sawatdee Guest House.
Tucked towards the end of Samsen Soi 3 in a leafy area near the river and a 10-minute walk from Khao San Road, the Sivarin is a charming little spot with clean rooms and a helpful owner. The two-floor concrete building doesn't look like much from outside, but rooms are brighter than you'd expect thanks to several windows and pink-and-white decor that reminded us of candy canes. The large air-con... Read our full review of Sivarin Guest House.
Hidden down a leafy alleyway, Tavee Guest House is our favourite among four long-running guesthouses clustered behind National Library in the low-key Thewet area. Each are owned by members of the same family, but Tavee's soothing common areas, quality rooms and reasonable rates make it the standout. Tucked down a lovely little lane. At first glance, the narrow alley with laundry hung out to... Read our full review of Tavee Guest House.
Another longstanding National Library area guesthouse run by the same family who own Tavee, Shanti and Sawatdee (older brother, sister, younger brother, respectively), the Sri-Ayutthaya has a tasteful design but was lacking on the friendliness when we last visited. Traditional Thai-style wood panel walls, wooden floors, floor cushions, old motorcycles and plenty of plants in the ground-floor cafe... Read our full review of Sri-Ayutthaya Guest House.
Direct river views will require a 10- to 20-minute walk to Khao San Road but will also put one of the Chao Phraya express boat piers within easy reach.
Riva Surya Bangkok sets the standard for luxury accommodation in the Khao San Road area. Rising between laid-back Phra Arthit Road and the Chao Phraya River, the mid-size hotel's gorgeous design toes the line between modern sleekness and old-style Thai elegance. While not cheap, this is an exceptional choice for a honeymoon or end of trip splurge. Looks like any other hotel from here, but... Read our full review of Riva Surya Bangkok.

The Navalai offers very smart, hotel-style rooms in an excellent riverside location that's practically on top of Phra Arthit express boat pier.

Expect lots of sumptuous white linen, dark turquoise art, light wooden furnishings and flourishes of... Read our full review of Navalai River Resort.

The most grandiose of the New Siam properties, New Siam Riverside looks rather humble next to the swanky Riva Surya. A step up from its sister properties, the yellow building offers splendid views from the riverside rooms and the breezy swimming pool and restaurant, but we found rooms to be just adequate for the price. While they call this property a guesthouse, it's truly a small hotel with a... Read our full review of New Siam Riverside.
This is a catchall for any places to stay that don't fall into any of the other areas. Check the maps and text for specific location and directions as some may be quite a walk from Khao San Road.
A 10-minute walk east of Khao San Road, the Democracy Monument area around Ratchadamnoen Khlang Road hosts some interesting flashpacker to midrange accommodation. The area makes a great base for sightseeing but is sometimes the focal point for political demonstrations; you might check the news before booking.
Set in a beautifully restored late-19th century house in the historic district, Baan Noppawong is among Bangkok's very best bed and breakfasts. Look no further if you seek elegance, romance and comfort to go with an intimate atmosphere and excellent location. Feels like a horse and buggy should be parked out front.

Opened in 2005, Old Bangkok Inn remains a terrific option for higher-end travellers seeking an intimate experience. The heritage building sits on land that once was part of a royal palace and has, according to the inn's website, been in the same family for seven generations. Though inspired by B&Bs in Normandy and New England, the inn was created with all the elegance of Thai artistry. One of... Read our full review of Old Bangkok Inn.
Strategically located down a quiet alley off the Democracy Monument traffic circle, Ratchadamnoen Residence delivers very comfortable serviced apartments with an intimate guesthouse vibe.

Education has been shown to be among the most effective treatments for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The most recent reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 2004) entitles all students with disabilities to a free appropriate public education (FAPE). In fact, the National Research Council (2001) recommends that all children identified with ASD, regardless of severity, be made eligible for special educational services under the IDEA category of autism.
The individualized education program or plan (IEP) is the cornerstone for the education of a child with ASD. It should identify the services a student needs so that he/she may grow and learn during the school year. Parents, teachers and support professionals play a key role in the development, implementation, and evaluation of the child's IEP. All share the responsibility for monitoring the student's progress toward meeting specific academic, social, and behavioral goals and objectives in the IEP. Although the type and intensity of services will vary, depending on the student's age, cognitive and language levels, behavioral needs and family priorities, the IEP should address all areas in which a child needs educational assistance. These include academic and non-academic goals if the services will provide an educational benefit for the student. All areas of projected need are incorporated in the IEP, together with the specific setting in which the services will be provided and the professionals who will provide the service. School districts should ensure that the IEP process follows the procedural requirements of IDEA. This includes actively involving parents in the IEP process and adhering to the time frame requirements for assessment and developing and implementing the student's IEP. Moreover, parents must be notified of their due process rights. It's important to recognize that parent-professional communication and collaboration are key components for making educational and program decisions.
The content of an IEP should include the following (Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act, 2004):
- The IEP should be based on the child's unique pattern of strengths and weaknesses. Goals for a child with ASD commonly include the areas of communication, social behavior, adaptive skills, challenging behavior, and academic and functional skills. The IEP must address appropriate instructional and curricular accommodations and modifications, together with related services such as counseling, occupational therapy, speech/language therapy, physical therapy and transportation needs. Evidence-based instructional strategies should also be adopted to ensure that the IEP is implemented appropriately.
- A statement of the child's present level of educational performance (both academic and nonacademic aspects of his or her performance).
- Specific goals and objectives designed to provide the appropriate educational services. This includes a statement of annual goals that the student may be expected to reasonably meet during the coming academic year, together with a series of measurable, intermediate objectives for each goal.
- Appropriate objective criteria, evaluation procedures and schedules for determining, at least annually, whether the child is achieving the specific objectives detailed in the IEP.
- A description of all specific special education and related services, including individualized instruction and related supports and services to be provided (e.g., counseling, occupational, physical, and speech/language therapy; transportation) and the extent to which the child will participate in regular educational programs with typical peers.
- Accommodations should be specifically documented in the IEP. Accommodations refer to the adjustments made to ensure that the student has equal access to educational programming by removing, to the extent, possible, barriers to successful classroom performance. Adjustments may be made to (a) instructional methods, teaching style, and curricular materials; (b) classroom and homework assignments; (c) assessment tools and ways of responding; (d) time requirements; and (e) environmental setting. Once accommodations are made, the student with special needs is expected to meet the standards of all students.
- The initiation date and duration of each of the services to be provided (including extended school year services).
- If the student is 16 years of age or older, the IEP must include a description of transitional services (coordinated set of activities designed to assist the student in movement from school to post-school activities).
School districts should assure that progress monitoring of students with ASD is completed at specified intervals by an interdisciplinary team of professionals who have a knowledge base and experience in autism. This includes collecting evidence-based data to document progress towards achieving IEP goals and to assess program effectiveness. School districts should also provide on-going training and education in ASD for both parents and professionals. Professionals who are trained in specific methodology and techniques will be most effective in providing the appropriate services and in modifying curriculum based upon the unique needs of the individual child.

Hey gang,
Wondering if there is a solution to my "issue." So I have a SSD and a HDD in my system. Windows and most routine apps are on my SSD. I run win 7 and notice that periodically my HDD spins up and is accompanied by mild vibration and acoustics (typical of mechanical HDDs). My HDD does not support AAM to lower noise levels via software and I'm perplexed as to why windows spins up the idle drive even though I do not routinely access the HDD. Is there a way to configure windows to leave the HDD in an idle low-noise state all the time (unless, of course, I'm actually accessing the HDD).
Thanks in advance!

IT has been a nervous wait for many pupils, but A-level results day has almost arrived.
Students from across the town will be picking up those much-anticipated results tomorrow, Thursday.
For many, the day will be spent celebrating after finally gaining the grades to accept a place at university.
Unfortunately for some, it will be a mad dash into clearing where they will spend a much trickier day in front of the computer filled with countless phone calls to the university admission teams.
Last year, students in Warrington eclipsed the national pass rate with 99.3 per cent of students achieving a pass grade and it hoped this year's students will continue to buck the trend.
But, for those in need of support, the Careers Centre for Young People in Times Square will be open to provide advice and guidance on taking the next step in training and education.
Now that the nail-biting wait is almost over, the Warrington Guardian will be out and about in schools talking to students and teachers to see if their hard work had paid off.
To keep up to date on results day follow our live blog at warrringtonguardian.co.uk.
UNIVERSITY is not the right fit for everyone. There are many alternative options available to those who miss out on the grades to go to university or simply fancy taking a different pathway to employment.
Many will find that their skills are better suited to a more vocational route and there are plenty of alternative options available in Warrington for those who do not wish to take an academic route.
Here are a few schemes and courses on offer in Warrington.
1. Apprenticeships provide an opportunity to enjoy training while gaining valuable experience in a real work environment.
They are also a great way to earn a wage while working alongside experienced staff to learn key skills.
The courses can last between one and four years and successful students will finish with a nationally recognised qualification.
From accountancy to social media, Warrington Collegiate has range of courses - not just apprenticeships - to suit all career aspirations.
For more information call 494494.
2. BTECs are specialist work-related qualifications and are available in a range of sectors.
The qualification has been around for more than 30 years and takes a more practical approach to learning, without missing out any of the important theory on the subject.
Priestley College offers a range of BTECs including public services, computer games design and photography.
This option is free to 16-year-olds after they have finished secondary school.
Warrington Collegiate also offers a range of BTEC courses to suit all tastes and to help you make your dream career a reality.
For more information call 633591.
3. Volunteering is a great way to pick up new skills while helping to make a real difference to the community - and it won't hurt your CV.
Charities across the town are always in need of willing volunteers.
From St Rocco's to Warrington Youth Club, the town has a number of charities that could benefit from another pair of hands.
4. The Prince's Trust Enterprise Programme offers aspiring entrepreneurs the chance to get their hands on start-up grants, funding and effective business support.
The trust helps young people, aged between 18 and 30, to work out if their business idea is a viable venture.

I love the shots of her sucking his cock and looking straight up at the camera
Featuring: Tia Imea
Date: September 10th, 2014
Photos: 42
Tia Imea was a one-shot wonder, a phrase we're loathe to use but that was the case. Tia wanted a fling at hot modeling and a chance to try a sex scene with a big porn-dick. Mission accomplished. Then Tia was off to try something else on her "life list." Anthony is blindfolded and sitting on the bed, waiting for Miss Hot Stuff to walk into the bedroom. They met in a chat room and now they're hooking up for the real deal. Tia strolls into the room in a tight top, short skirt and high heels. Pure boner material. She gives off waves of sexual heat. She touches the blindfolded Anthony. "I don't want you to see me.

This is the famous scene with Tim Tyler. Watch how easy Ray's peewee slides in. And the looks of ecstacy on Tim's face... It is really the most normal sex scene as the two were into much more dangerous fare.

Samaritan Medical Center Unifies Backups With BridgeHeadConsolidating four different backup systems
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on 2013.06.12
BridgeHead Software Ltd announced
that Samaritan Medical Center in Watertown, NY, has implemented the its
Healthcare Data Management (HDM) platform with Meditech (Integrated Serverless
Backup) for its EMR system, as well as protection for its enterprise data.
Consolidating four disparate backup systems onto the single platform
has enabled Samaritan to streamline data management, cut backup times while
preserving application performance and simplify data center operations.
Samaritan had previously implemented BridgeHead ISB (Integrated Serverless
Backup) for its Meditech HCIS. The ISB protocol is certified by Meditech as
being critical for ensuring the recovery of accurate patient data, by orchestrating
the protection of that data from multiple Meditech File Servers at a single
point-in-time. Building on its Meditech protection, Samaritan deployed HDM to unify protection and recovery for hospital applications, such
as eClinicalWorks, MedHost, and Picis Surgical Services applications, as well
as its Exchange Servers. BridgeHead FileStore was implemented for archive
and recovery of medical images from Samaritan's Fuji PACS.
"Before consolidating our data
protection on the BridgeHead Healthcare Data Management platform, it took two
guys three hours a day to monitor and manage Samaritan Medical Center's three
different backup systems," said Jeff Wood, technical services manager,
Samaritan Medical Center. "Now
with one system, it's 15 to 20 minutes a day to manage everything. We even
protect our Fuji PACS images with BridgeHead, all on a single platform."
"By moving all its healthcare
systems onto the same BridgeHead Healthcare Data Management Platform as its
Meditech EMR, Samaritan Medical Center has managed to simplify and streamline
its data protection processes," said Mike Ball, PhD, BridgeHead SVP, North America. "As a
result, Samaritan Medical Center is saving both time and money while
simultaneously opening the door for a more strategic approach to its long-term
data management practices."

Courthouse front lawn project delayed
When the two large oak trees were taken down earlier this spring in front of the Pierce County Courthouse, county officials stated it was part of a larger plan to renovate the front lawn entirely which would be done around August at an estimated cost around $95,000.
Tuesday during the Building Committee meeting, it was reported that the county has received two bids for the project and the costs were a little off from the $95,000 figure. One was for $219,000 and the other was for $183,077.
Those bids were rejected, meaning the project will be on hold for awhile.
Administrative Coordinator JoAnn Miller said the county will start the bidding process in January and February with a new goal of being done sometime in the spring.
Miller opined the inflated bids were due to the compressed construction season thanks to the snowstorm in May.
"We will hold off and get a better price next year," she said.
The safety and security measures around the Courthouse continue as the committee approved limiting public access by locking all doors except the front and elevator entrances.
Courthouse Security Officer Adam Olson called this request a very cheap and low maintenance solution.
"We want to focus the security on these two entrances," he said, noting funds were approved for the purchase of surveillance cameras for the front door during a Courthouse Security Workgroup meeting, held prior to the Building meeting.
The request next goes to the Finance and Personnel committee, who next meets Monday, Sept. 9.

->'''Frank Bigelow''': I'd like to report a murder.\\
'''Captain''': Sit down. Where was this murder committed?\\
'''Frank Bigelow''': San Francisco, last night.\\
'''Captain''': Who was murdered?\\
'''Frank Bigelow''': I was.
''D.O.A.'', or ''Dead on Arrival'', is a 1950 FilmNoir drama about a man named Frank Bigelow (Edmond O'Brien), who must frantically try to find out who wants him dead through poisoning -- and why. The plot speeds as Frank recounts [[HowWeGotHere his past events]] to the police to get help.
Due to a filing error the copyright to the film was not renewed on time, causing it to fall into the PublicDomain, and as such [[http://www.archive.org/details/doa_1949 it can be downloaded here.]]
A remake starring Creator/DennisQuaid and Creator/MegRyan was released in 1988. The 2006 film ''Film/{{Crank}}'' has a similar plot.
If you're looking for the fighting game, see ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive''.
!!This film provides examples of:
* AxCrazy: Chester enjoys hurting people. He especially relishes the gutshot, since it kills people nice...and slow.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The hero dies, but he at least manages to expose the villains whose plot led to his death.]]
* ChainedHeat: In the remake only.
* DeadManWalking: The UrExample.
* DisturbedDoves: In the empty warehouse when Frank pursues the sniper.
* DoomedProtagonist: There's no cure...
* EndlessCorridor: In the innovative opening sequence.
* FilmNoir: One of the TropeCodifier[=s=].
* ForegoneConclusion: Who was murdered? -- I was.
* {{Gayngster}}: Majak, possibly. The way he says "please, my boy", while smoothing over Chester's hair...
* GigglingVillain: Chester.
* GoingByTheMatchbook: Frank finds a matchbook from The Fisherman club that the assassin who tried to shoot him dropped, confirming that it was indeed the same man who poisoned him.
* HesDeadJim: [[spoiler: Played straight as an an arrow in the final scene.]]
* HowWeGotHere: The framing structure of the movie.
%%* LivingOnBorrowedTime
* PerfectPoison: The "luminous toxin".
%%* TheReveal
* ShownTheirWork: In the credits--''before'' the actors' names are listed--a title card informs us that the poison described is totally a real thing (most likely phosphorus), and that "luminous poison" is an actual medical term.
* SlasherSmile: Chester.
* SlippingAMickey: How Frank is being poisoned.
* SoundtrackDissonance: This film has a surprisingly lighthearted score (relatively). Certainly more so than any other ''film noir''.
* StandardFemaleGrabArea: Used by Bigelow to great effect while interrogating Phillips' secretary.
* TitleDrop: "Mark his file... as DOA."
* WhiteCollarWorker: Frank was an accountant.
* WhoDunnitToMe: Pretty much the TropeCodifier.

As of February 8, 2007, Artie weighed in at 295 lbs, which is one pound less than his all time high.
After missing 5 out of 6 live broadcasts of The Howard Stern Show over the weeks of January 22nd and January 29th, Howard, Robin and many of the fans feared that Artie may have fell off the wagon and had begun using heroin again.
Artie perfomed at the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas on during the Super Bowl weekend.
On Tuesday, January 2, 2007, Artie Lange's Beer League was released on DVD.
On Wednesday, January 3, 2007, Artie appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman.
On it's opening weekend in September, Artie Lange's Beer League made roughly $350,000.
On September 20, 2006, Artie admitted that last year he was addicted to heroin while filming his movie, Artie Lange's Beer League.
As of September 19, 2006, Artie weighed 282lbs, which is up from his late June, 2006 weight of 274lbs.
When Artie was a teenager, he was arrested for attempted robbery. He handed a bank teller a note demanding $50,000 as a goof and walked out. Artie later said that he did it because he thought the teller was really cute.
As of September 12, 2006, Artie reported that his on-again/off-again relationship with Dana Sironi is off.
Artie's first standup comedy gig was at New York City's "Improv" in Hell's Kitchen.
While at Union High School in Union, New Jersey, Artie was an All-County third baseman.
During the August 21, 2003 broadcast of The Howard Stern Show, results of a DNA test indicatec that Artie was 1/4 American-Indian as well as German on his father's side and Neopolitan Italian on his mother's side.
In 1986, Artie's father fell off the roof of house that he was working on and became a quadripalegic. His father died four years later.
Artie is a great impersonator of every character from The Godfather and he has memorized most every line from the trilogy.
In April of 2006, Artie stated that he won a grand total of $15,000 gambling on the 2006 Men's Basketball NCAA Tournament.
In 2001, Artie replaced Jackie Martling as a regular on The Howard Stern Show.
Artie has admitted on air during The Howard Stern Show that he cried at a Michael Jackson concert during the song "Man in the Mirror."
A few of Artie's favorite musical artists are Bruce Springsteen and The Allman Brothers.
Artie's favorite sports teams are the New York Yankees, New York Knicks and the New York Giants.
His drink of choice is Jack Daniels with a splash of water and lots of ice, which he prefers to drink through a regular-size straw.
Artie worked as a longshoreman following his failed attempt at college until his big break into show business in 1995.
In May 2004, when The Howard Stern Show aired live from Las Vegas, Artie was reported dead by the Stern show prank phone call master, Captain Janks.
Artie: The only reason I can't recommend heroin to kids is because the effects wear off.
Artie: (to Steve-O) So, anytime you see Christian Slater not being gay, he's on cocaine?
Artie: I was at Yankee Stadium one time at 5 a.m., but that was to buy angel dust.
Artie: (imitating an insult said by Don Rickles on the set of Dirty Work) Look at you, you Baby Gorilla!
Artie: I snorted heroin once by accident. It was amazing. But kids, don't snort heroin. It's too good.
Artie: ...moot-SA-relle... (during any discussion of food or cooking. It is apparently how Italian-Americans pronounce mozzarella)
Artie: The point of drinking in moderation is that sometimes you don't drink in moderation.
Artie: When I black out, it's the happiest time of my life.
Artie: (referring to his quadrapalegic father) If I was armless and legless, I'd just ask someone to drop me in a buffet.
Artie: Everytime I go to Vegas, I seem to incur some kind of fine.
Artie: Have you ever Googled yourself? I did. It was the most depressing thing ever. People have websites hoping I die at 38.

Just like the old days... (sigh)
Sparks America reminds me a lot of the old days. When tent campers used to outnumber the RV's and everybody just camped out and had a good time.
I showed up very late on Thursday night, which was a mistake. Bike week Oklahoma is a 10 day event that covers two weekends and I could tell that the party was already in full swing by the time I got there. Of course the final weekend is the grand finalee, but still if you want to catch the entire show you need to show up as early as possible.
The days all kind of follow the same general schedule with biker rodeo games starting late morning and running until late afternoon, followed by a live band and a titty contest up on stage around midnight. I know it sounds kind of tame, but don't be fooled. These people take motorcycle games to an entire new level. They even had several different field events I've never seen before, and that's saying something!
It was hotter than hell this weekend, but that's all good down at Sparks. They've got a real nice swimming hole (clothing optional), free hot showers and plenty of tree shaded areas for you to hang out in and cool down.
Billy the Exterminator made a suprise guest appearance on Saturday night, just because he's good friend with the band members of Geneva. He's one cool dude. First of all he brought not only his brother, but also both his parents along with him. He started out saying hi to everyone from up on the stage but got tired of talking to people from 8 feet high so he just jumped right down and started chatting with people, signing autographs and hanging out with the crowd. Nice to see TV people that are actually... well... real people.
The actual layout of the main stage area is a little different than most shows. Main stage has a field in front reserved for the motorcycle games during the day and crowds watching the bands at night... with the vendor spots off to the side in a very nice shaded area. Not bad, just different. I liked it.
I've been hearing a lot about Sparks America for the last few years and it's all true and well deserved. It may be waaayyyy out in Oklahoma, but it's one hell of a party and well worth the trip. They've got another show coming up Halloween weekend, if it's anything like Bike Week Oklahoma it will be well worth going to.
Bob rates this party an excellent 9/10 score!
