Hi,
Just share some info on foods near Samran place.
When u exit from their front door, turn left and walk for abt 3-5min, u can find a A & W.
There are roadside stalls opp the hotel that sell very nice foods. Esp the braised pork rice stall that runs by a couple, best & must try!!!! 1 packet is abt 30-40baht only. There's also a western restaurant beside the BTS station, their food also not bad.
Be more darling and try their local street foods if you can. I did and i fall in love with their foods.
