MrFreeze, what rate did you get at the Marriott?

How is the roof top bar there?

Same here, 16 to the 21st in Bangkok

I also find the pool cold after rain. So during the wet season, you might notice as well.

I tried uber in bkk and it was hit and miss. 

If you get a good driver, you are fine.

While I don't won't to make sterotypes, all the jokes about about asian drivers in BKK are true.

Just grab a lebara in your home country and assign to Thailand. Free sms and a decent data package (enough to for Wechat etc.)

Just check their website. No Thailand web site. Can you explain?

Cheers.

One of the things that work for street food in Asia than western food is no refrigeration. Sounds crazy right?

A litre of milk can last at room temperature for (only?) 6-8hrs, however it will last a week with refrigeration. So guess what happens in the west, we have some, put it back in the fridge and we could be actually having week old milk and be OK with it.

So in asia, (and include Singapore & HK as well as less development countries like LOS & Vietnam) the hawkers and street food vendors only buy the amount of food they will sell/serve that day. They can't store it for overnight. If they are out, they close up and go home. If they don't sell it, is thrown out or given away. But the food we have during the day is unbelievably fresh and what is in season.

Fresh, hot and in demand is the best rule if anyone who is worried about street food.

The continental at Asoke is girl friendly. Best place close to everything especially Soi Cowboy.

Get a rate with free breakfast. Great western & Asian spread. With real bacon. (got caught out with that beef-bacon sh|t at other hotels.)

I agree to be careful with hotels deep down the soi. Especially if that soi is a way from the nearest BTS. You'll be walking in the heat all day.

I've been caught in soi 11 & soi 13 hotel with flash flooding. The soi will fill in minutes to almost knee deep water. Taxi can't/won't get through and can take a while (maybe 30-60 mins) to clear in the rainy season.

Have a look at the Continent Hotel on sukhumvit road.

Great room and the you can't beat the price for that in the area.

Girl friendly and always great service. Get a rate with the free breakfast. Great bar on level 35

Close to Cowboy, the subway, BTS, terminal 21

But also close to the Soi 22-26 massage places as well....

+1 on The Continent Hotel. Close to transport and Soi Cowboy

But also close to Soi 22-26 massages, terminal 21 food

Great bar on Level 35 also.
