Displayed prices are for multiple nights. Check the site for price per night. I see hostels starting at 200b/day and hotels from 500b/day on agoda.

small dvd players with no lcd available from the street vendors for @ 3000 baht

thats what i plan i picking up in 7 days, 3 hours

Over a year ago I bought a small "9 x "9 player for about $37 here in the states and took it over in my carry on. I've seen them on sale over in Pattaya at Carrefour for about 1500 baht.

 

Easydude the availability of a DVD player would only be a tie breaker in my decision of which hotel to stay. If you don't want to pack one over and back, you can buy one and either resell it or give it to your favorite TG.

The hard rock hotel, has dvd players in some of their rooms. I was staying on one their vip/better/more expensive floors, and had a dvd player in each of the two rooms I stayed in (I move into a suite after a week).

 

Its pretty pricey, but very nice. And I've got to give a special mention to the staff, who really helped me out one night when my then tgf flipped out, and had to be escorted from the building. They handled it all brilliantly.

It's a ways away from your target area, but the Superior double room I had at Lido Beach Hotel on Beach Rd had a dvd player in it in May of this year. That was 1200 baht/night as I recall in low season.

 

Emil's suggestion is probably sound advice IMO.

 

I have a dvd/cd-rw on my laptop and with a 15 inch screen and the portable flat speakers I pack now it works nicely.

 

My guests typically are happy with the latest knockoff music cd I buy while I'm in town, but a movie is nice sometimes.

I have rented a DVD player at Sandy Spring for 200 baht/day. When I first did this, they brought up brand new one still in the box, set it up, tested it, etc. The following day I advised them that I was finished and they sent a guy to pick it up. I found it to be quite a customer friendly experience.

On your next trip let me know and I'll rent you mine for only 150 baht a day. :clueless

I hope it wasn't one of those Cyberhome CH300 players. I've seen reviews on them, and they are full of problems. I just gave mine to my coworker, and bought a Phillips DVP642, it does everything without all the freeze ups, and sound cutting out.

It was and so far not a single problem.

Stayed in a place called 'ps appartments' on soi diana, just before LK Metropole. Paid 1000 bht for the rental for one month. My friend was there shorter and I think he paid 400 bht a week rental for the dvd players.

My memory was off. Sandy charges 120 baht per day.

The best way to obtain this information is to check the websites of the top hotels (4 or 5 star) and look at their room features. If the hotel doesn't specifically say that they have dvd player in the room it means that they don't.

And i use it at home rather than my big NZ purchased one as it will play all my zone3 dvds from asia. I use to look for luxury hotels with DVD players but now i just hook this little baby up and away we go. Only problem now is i want a hotel with 60" flat screens like the Solitaire in BKK.

Doesn't have to be a 4 or 5 * hotel, I've seen 2 places near the LK Metropole where the rooms went for 8,000 and 9,000 baht per month that had the players.
