Apologies for the necropost, but I figured it was better to add to an existing topic than to create a new one just for this question:

 

I keep reading in reviews that the water in the pool at the Tai-Pan is uncomfortably cold. Can anyone confirm?

 

And in case anyone has stayed there recently, would you recommend it in general?

The pool is not heated, so if its not in the sun all day (which it´s isn´t) it gets pretty cold. But this is the standard in Bangkok, lots of freezing pools.

Will be in BKK 25-28/4. Would be fun the meet up for a beer (or ten).

Are specifically looking for serviced apartments? Is the kitchen important for you? Because if you can settle for a normal hotel, your options are endless. I´ve stayed at Hotel Icon, Soi 2, a couple of times. Great location (close to Nana but real quiet), girl friendly, new and fresh, great rooftop pool, decently sized rooms, free drink tickets and BTS tickets at arrival. Approx. 2000 baht. Most value for money that I´ve found in the area.

Haha. I've got good memories from there. I brought 4 ladies with me and it wasn't a problem. The night manager looked at me in awe when the girls showed him their id:s. Good memories!

Since BKK is perfect in may with the nice heat and the rain, I will be visiting 8 - 12 may.
