This is the friendliest place I stayed when out in Asia. The staff are lovely & the place has got a great atmosphere. Some of the rooms are a touch gloomy (without windows) & it's not the cheapest (about 900bht for a double room), but it's right by the national stadium sky train stop. I go there everytime I'm in Bangkok, but if you don't call to book you probably won't get a room, which tells you everything you need to know I think.

It's not the cheapest in what is a very cheap town, but it's more of a 3* hotel. The staff are absurdly friendly (the desk clerk drove me to hospital on the back of his moped despite being warned not to by his boss), the rooms large, clean & comfortable with free breakfast.

A great local run bar, which is incredibly friendly & has a good mix of locals & tourists. It's less a bar, more of a shack on the side of the street with tables & chairs on the pavement, but with the owner's band playing live music most nights & the Sang Som & Beer Chiang plentiful & cheap you'll want to keep on going back.

On the cross roads of Ratchadamankha by the Panda Guesthouse.

A great budget place, right on the Kwai. Rooms are based around a large, green garden area, looking over the river with plenty of hammocks for chilling out. They do good food & drinks as well, although it's best to avoid the terrible selection of movies they show in the evening.
