Frosty

I like the windowed shower stall. What's slick is their website with the trance music playing and the slick flash controls.

Fuck ... I might do that instead. I'll check locally for someone to make a banner I can raise up like a flag so my mates can find me. I figure if it's not in poor taste, too large or flamboyant then it should be okay. God, that 1-hr wait is going to suck though. Is there still public WiFi available? That might help kill the time. Also is there somewhere online with a map of the multi-levels of the airport? I might use this to let my mates know where we'll meet up at, and also where they need to go to clear customs, baggage, etc.

Are those before or after the custom lines?

The location is great. The non-view windows are something to ponder. They allow the frosted light in, but no view. Good for the room, not for hanging out at the hotel. If I recall, this is still a smoke-free hotel.

The girls are only for legit massage as these guys will be getting off the plane. The adventures will commence later on. We already have the rooms reserved, I'm arriving hours earlier at the hotel. Since I'm there so early I was going to make sure all the hotel arrangements were good for all of us to alleviate any check-in problems and that we all really got rooms on the same floor. I really don't want to hang around the airport for a few hours idling. Maybe I'll just do this the cheap way, taxi into the hotel, and let them figure their own way of getting their. None of us have any luggage except for carry-on. Or I'll find that place where bags can be checked in, idle around the airport at some food place or other, maybe call the hotel up and let them know we'll be in soon, hopefully not get bored too much. Fuck, I'm going to need a bigger book with that option. If I recall correctly, there's not much in the way of eating at the airport once you're past customs. Well hell, this is their first time in the country and I guess setting something convenient up isn't worth it.

How can a trip to the airport be 1500 baht one-way? From the airport to downtown it's usually less than 400 baht.

I never had a problem ... The TGs seem to accommodate to the situation.

I guess with the lack of responses the next question would be where to post such a classified ad online where a decent response can be found?

The link is dead now

I figure the ride and and forth will probably run 1,000 baht. Hopefully a decent sign we can rally under can be made around 300 baht. Massage girls might be another 500 baht since it's only 1-way to the hotel, but time is involved to get to the airport and back. I'm completely guessing on this but either someone will make an offer, or someone else will point out the financing errors. I guess I could take this to the Thailand craigslist but I'm not sure how dependable that is.

I noticed there's no classified services section here where people can post for services they are looking to pay for. I.e. I'm hoping I can find someone in Bangkok when I arrive who can make some kind of flag banner with a logo on it to greet our part, and provide a van to take us from the airport to our hotel. We'll be arriving a bit staggered over 2-hours so my plan is to take the lift to the hotel and get everyone their rooms, then take the van back to the airport with 2 massage girls. Then after we pick up my blokes I can get them back to the hotel with their rooms all ready for them.

Thx ...

Then you bring them through the back alley entrance.

Be careful at On8. It's a nice hotel but they offer 2 kinds of water. If you drink the wrong one it will cost you quite a bit. Also, the Saffron rooms can get very bright. They have large windows that, while frosted, can let in a lot of light in the mornings still (even with the curtains drawn). If you get the Saffron room near Sukhumvit you can hear the traffic at times. Quite guest friendly. They are also very helpful in setting up tours, private drivers, or other conveniences. It's a nice place and right outside the Nana terminal for the Skytrain, literally. During daytime hours their entrance is through the front restaurant. At night you have to use the alley behind Soi 8 to enter the hotel.

Correct, but what is the name of the restaurant? Do I just call the hotel up to reserve a table for 4 people on the restaurant balcony? Is there only one restaurant which uses the balcony or is it shared?

I've been to the Seashell museum in Bangkok. That's about the closest I can think that you're talking about.

I had a 7-course meal at the Baiyoke hotel up on the 80ish floor a few months back. Can anyone tell me how to make a reservation at this restaurant, and which one it is? There was a buffet inside but this was outside on the outdoor balcony at the top of the tower. Here's a post with pictures from the meal I'd really like to make reservations there again on my next trip.

I have a question about dinner at the Baiyoke. Last year when I was there I was able to get a 7-course meal on the 80ish floor of the hotel. The location was on a balcony outside the hotel where the food was brought outside. The inside area looked like a buffet. Do you know what the name of this restaurant which serves the food outside on the balcony is?
