One night in Bangkok
This is incredible, I have just come to a place where time has been standing still for 60 years. The Atlanta hotel, situated in the modern part of Bangkok, a block from the Skytrain, looks like something taken from a movie from the 50s - which is not far from the truth, either, since its website http://theatlantahotel.bizland.com/ says its lobby is often being used as filmsets. Food is GOOD and cheap, I had a pepper steak for less than 5 dollars. The hotel was established in 1952 and hasn't changed much since - except for aircondition in the rooms and a free wi-fi zone in the lobby. Recommended!
