Description
Tucked away down this leafy backstreet, Madame Guesthouse fills the gap in the market for cheap, silent, fan-cooled rooms. As a converted house, staying at Madame has a very homely feel, requiring guests to share their lobby with the family kitchen. Corridors and staircases are small to say the least, and it's up to the individual to draw the line between cosy and cramped. Rooms at Madame are good for the price; clean and quiet, with little chance of disturbances from the neighbours. The shared bathrooms may seem a little old, but are perfectly functional and no worse than other budgets places. For the lucky few, pretty balconies and good views can be found, but otherwise guests can relax on the Thai style benches out the front. Madame is a good alternative for backpackers, particularly those hoping to avoid the bright lights of the city.

Guest feedback
Less concrete than others - 
By waxybrushes ( total comments: 10 
) Stayed here 9/2005
in the neighborhood. The owners are personable, and like their beer. During our week-long stay, most other guests were long-term expats in Thailand.
Our room was pleasant enough with cheap wood paneling, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and a sit-n-pour toilet. Cold water only, of course.
All in all, a good place to stay.

At the end of the Soi, and sitting under towering palm trees, is Sala Thai Guesthouse.

Down the quiet side street of Soi Saphan Khu lies Lee's fourth and final guesthouse. The small lobby of Lee 4 guesthouse is sometimes found silent, occupied only by a dozing elderly lady.

ETC Guest House
5/3 Soi Ngam Dupli, Bangkok
Situated at the noisier end of Soi Ngam Dupli, ETC guesthouse is very much in the thick of the Rama IV commuter scene.

Moon House
2/10-11 Soi Sri Bamphen, Bangkok
Just off Soi Ngam Duphli is the no-frills Moon House guesthouse. If you're easily claustrophobic or are above average height, the small dark stairwells at Moon House will probably put you off. Nevertheless, rooms are well kept, and offer a cheaper alternative to many other options nearby and long... more

Best Living House can be found just off Soi Sri Bamphen, partly obscured by nearby food stalls. Clean, spacious rooms in this five-story building are popular with both Thais and foreigners.
