This is the 2nd time we're staying at Viewplace.Things have changed to disadvantage.No housekeeping anymore,need to ask for more toilet paper etc. every day,bring down rubbish by yourself...Small cockroaches in building (last time in April there were none at all!).TV povider has changed,only 1 channel with English movies(Lotus Macau) and some news channels.So unless you are up to to something in the area,I wouldn't recommend to stay here although you have loads of shopping opportunities around (e.g.Mall Bangkapi,Tesco Lotus),and also you can hop on the boat (Saen Saep Express)which takes you everywhere in the New Centre of BKK (Golden Mount (-->Khao San Rd.,Siam,Silom,Sukhumvit etc.)
