On almost my mongering trips, unless I am meeting someone somewhere else, i like to book a room on Ratchada 17.
My brother, you must tell us more about these odysseys.
Booking a hotel on the 17 is some advanced stuff, and recommended for those who don't live in BKK. Among other things the MRT station is close by, and the area has great eating options including mainland-style Chinese places where the staff don't necessarily speak Thai.
Watana Hotel has monthly deals including utilities, and Buddy Place has rooms by the month as well--I expect Maverick, Bangkok 68 etc offer similar arrangements. And yes you could hop between rooms.
If you wanna get local and snaky, the main street outside BP has some local karaoke/whatever places with those tacky rope-lights and women sitting outside at night. Thai-language skills will come in handy.
one website i often use is sidelinethailand.com...several agencies/ladies that I have found that are not on fiwfans
I stopped checking it because, as you mentioned, they don't remove outdated ads. Things change quickly in the floating world, so this is a type of false advertising IMO. At least fiwfans is reasonably up-to-date.
offdek/finfin were useful, alas no more.
