Regarding the hotel insisting on board rates, in this case THB1900. It's a common practice by hotel having online agents marketing their rooms.

If they offer cheaper rates than onlines agents and these online agents finds out, do you think these agents will put in effort to market this hotel.

Looks fun place. But guess no takeaways. just some cock teasers.

Why? The hotels I stayed so far at Sathorn area (Sofitel So, Anantara Sathorn, Banyan Tree, W) were all gf ...

Oh sorry. I should have said Sukhumvit area being the center of mongering, most hotels would be guest friendly. As for hotels in sarthorn not being in mongering region, I am totally unaware of whether they are guest friendly. Thats why I say its a big question mark. (big question mark for me only)

Thanks guys.

 

All the places that you listed look pretty good, but unfortunately they dont come close to the 2 places that i listed in my 2nd post. $120 for a night in 2 bedroom is a pretty good price. Good places usually go around $200 roughly, and these two are on special.

These 2 hotels are at Sathorn. Its place where all the big office building are located. Though by km wise is not very far from Sukhumvit, but travel to and from Sathorn & Sukhumvit may take some time due to the traffic.

Since they are at Sathorn, guest friendlyness is a big question mark.

Hotel price varies depending how you make reservation.

Basically, lowest is from online reservation (not hotel own website), follow by agents, follow by direct booking to hotel.

Hotel seldom charge lower than agents and website so that agents and website will be motivate to sell their room more.

Yes you can.

Go to the AIS counter at the airport, tell them you want to buy a prepaid SIM card that can activate prepaid Blackberry service.

Yes, go with the flow day by day. If you have plans for the day and the places are all accessible by BTS. Count your trip cost. Sometimes its cheaper to buy a day pass which cost THB130 for unlimited rides for the day. Minimum fare is THB15. And you get the convenience of not needing to que for change and buy tickets for every trip.

On certain days, I do expect to spend over THB130 on BTS. Under this circumstances, I will buy a day pass. Even if i expect to travel slightly less han THB130, say THB100, I will stil buy a day pass to enjoying the convenience of not queing up to buy tickets for every trip.

Will not be there till December. Happy Birthday and have a good time at Bar4

Hi,I have narrowed my forthcoming stay down to these 2 hotels.

The difference in price is minimal.

Anyone have a preference?

Thanks in advance.

Go for Woraburi, there are many conflicting feedback about whether Swiss Park is guest friendly. Some say they have no problem bring lady back, some say they were ask to pay.

Your flight is close to midnight. So you have to be at the airport by 10pm. Which means a safe time for starting from hotel to airport is around 9pm.

You can check with your hotel. Some allows late check out with extra charges less than 1 full day stay. While some may give it for free as it is low season. If you have not book your hotel yet, you can negotiate for late check out before you confirm your reservation. I feel if they can allow you till 6pm, its good enough. You can check out at 6pm, leave your luggage at the hotel. Then either go have nice dinner with your Tirak (if you have), or go for a massage. Come back hotel before 9pm and get a taxi to airport.

If all fails you just have to pay 1 full day.

For me, my flight home is usually 8pm. I got a late check out at 4pm, sometimes free sometimes with a small charge.

I have not stay in any of the Amari group hotels. But from what I gathered, they are not guest friendly.

Anyway, what are the room rates you are getting?

Looking at their normal room rates you can easily get many 4-5 star hotels along Sukhumvit road which are guest friendly.

There is no lift. I hope you are in shape.

No lift and 3rd floor is quieter. Already BG are too lazy to walk to hotel, if no lift means may have to carry her up. Hahahaha

Might see you sat outside then at Mikes bar i have a few beers there sometimes

Will be there on 18/4/12 till 23/4/12. Guess all our schedule don't match.

Wow Andy2463,

That's a lot of review and info for all mongers. On behalf of everyone, a big THANK YOU!

Seems you like to iron your own clothes during your stays.

Its not easy to find a hotel THB1000/- and below. However there are some available. It all depends on what kind of standard you looking at.

I have yet to find any hotel having similar standard as Ibis Sathorn offering THB1000/-. That kind of standard usually comes THB1250/- and above.

I checked the hotel rates in Agoda. There are only some hotel offering lower rates. Most of them are just marginal discounts with some selected one offering slightly better discoounts. It would not make much difference if your stay is short.

I read many review of this hotel in various websites. Generally the reviews were good. But there are some complains about noise because it is located at the heart of many part places.

Maybe those who have stayed in this hotel can share your experience regarding noise level.

thanks for the posts, itsunclear which ones are still upto date.

 

maybe we should have some thread with a constant update. a list or something.

This is why I requested all contirbutors to indicate he date of stay.

Ruamchitt above the Thermae Bar is ok value if you book on of the newer rooms. Pretty much inbetween Nana and Cowboy and has a nice, seldom used rooftop pool.

Acoolbreeze,

Is Ruamchitt girl friendly. I search through many girl friendly hotel sites, but have not seen this hotel listed as girl friendly.

You can try Manhatten at Soi 15

Hey Brother,

This thread is about Darjelling Hotel in Bangkok. It's a small boutique hotel.

What you refering to is another city in India. Its totally out of the scope of this discussion.

heading out of malaysia tomorrow afternoon (Saturday) and into BKK, would like to find a decent place to stay with pool, solid wifi, and gym - $15/1800B per night is ok. Any suggestions? I've perused the info here but nothing jumps out, feeling some pressure to make a decision so that's prob not helping my reading comprehension either. I depart back to the states early Wednesday

 

appreciate any help, taxi/rail info would be awesome as well

 

thanks

Which part of bangkok you want to stay? If you want to be near night life, the place to stay is Sukhumvit area. In this area its hard to find hotel with pool, wife and gym for just THB 1800.

A decent place to stay is too general description. Be more specific, eg how many stars hotel?

Maxim's Inn cold be what you looking for. Below are the sites you can have more idea on this place. Seems was run down but latest review at trip advisor indicate it renvated in Dec 10.

Double room at THB990 with breakfast inclusive all taxes. Free wifi room safe big enough for laptop

Not easy to find hotel below THB1000 wihtin Sukhumvit or Prathunum. Outside these area maybe you can find less than THB1000.

This is my latest search on internet regarding Asoke Suites.

Check ths site http://www.sukhumvit-psycho.com/2010/12/new-and-guest-friendly-hotel-in-bangkok-asoke-suites-sukhumvit/

Try Asoke Suites, do a search in Agoda. Think its about THB 1200+. Its quite a new hotel, so do know whether its GF or not. Can write to them to ask too.
