*****
If you are going to be in Bangkok for a week or more, it is a great place to stay. I stayed there for a year. Nina is a good person, and the lay out is wonderful for meeting people.
*****
Discovery Lodge is good. The owner (Nina) is an outstanding person. I got into trouble at the boarder and without hesitation she wired my 20 000 bhat. At the lodge you are looked after and for the foeringers who do find trouble it is good to know someone has your back. I can not think of another place I have stayed were someone would go to that extent to help their guests. I stayed there for 7 months, along with friends that i met in thailnd, who still live there. Its not just a guest house. Its a home.

Simply off the map far from city center. Description above is ok but should also mention it is located on top floor of 3 story garage. This lodge is not for tourists.
