For the price of a 2-3 star hotel per month you can get a really nice condo .... if you wanted to stay an entire month at the JW, you can email them for a special rate (they will have one) but i dont see it being less than 4k USD a month currently. After rock bottom covid long term stay prices, the new long stay prices are a discount off the rolling 30 day or whatever duration you want to stays window is. I asked the sheraton grande sukhumvit about a 14+ night stay last month and they quoted me 6k bhat/night

The trick to this game is knowing someone who knows the person in the hotel who can sort these rates out because when you email in generally, it simply gets handled by someone who frankly hasn't a clue what they are talking about, if they are Thai.

Go to Le Meridien and get a western GM or near GM and you're fine but get a reservation supervisor and I've seen some of them go onto their own website. or quote you a rate but with no uplifts.

14 days is holiday territory, 3 months is long stay.

I got a number from the Hilton in Pattaya of 80k one room, 110k another and the Avani was as low as 40k and up to 80k.

OK, many years ago, I lived in the JW Marriott in Bangkok for months at a time on a monthly rate which was a huge discount to the normal daily rate. I also did the same at a couple of other hotels on very similar deals where it would be normal to expect breakfast, some laundry, maybe lounge access and also decent discounts on anything I bought in the hotel, from meals to drinks etc.

I am considering doing the same for a few months rather than go into a serviced apartment or condo so I am looking for a new deal. I know I can email the hotels directly but I am asking if anyone knows of any deals they have heard about currently.

Mercure has some shockingly bad reviews of late and at Bt3k plus a day it doesn't hit the mark for that price.

Rather pay more for more.

Considering the "new" Marriott down Soi 22 but will likely stay around Soi 4 and go down to 22 for a beer.

Look at the new Mercure Soi 11 - -replaced the President Palace. opened in April.  Should be new and shiny. 

A bit cheaper is the Grand President on Soi 11....bad service and rooms showing their age, but pool is great.

Odd side eh ?

GP is old hat now as are most of the original serviced apartments which were great large rooms for fantastic prices back in the 1990s / 2000s.

Will look at the Mercure.

I like the Landmark. It's just a few steps away from Soi 4 on Sukhumvit. It's not cheap but I can't fault it.

 

What's your price range?

Landmark doesn't cut it with me. JWM if in that part of town and looking for that price bracket.

In fact, I had the JW on offer and hesitated then it raised the price and so I was pissed at the new price :(

Nana Hotel. For me quality enough. On Soi 4 next to NEP.

As most do, stayed one night many years ago and never went back. A shithole in the 1990s.

Location ? because wherever I start out I almost always end up back at either one of these, most often Soi 4, if not heading off into the night on a wild goose chase for some decent after hours nonsense.

I like a pool in the afternoon to while away the hours.

Decent hotel so I can use some of their services if I choose or not if I don't.

Flying in 36 hours so help me out a little here.

Shithole of a hotel which majors heavily in the arabic and indian sub continent "bang for buck" travellers. 

Stayed once as location was good  -not as good as claimed however.

Rooms did stink of cigarettes back then and I doubt anything has changed.

Nothing good to say about the place.
