Bangkok

[purple_showers]

I just booked my JetStar tickets for travel in Sept, only $130 per person incl. of taxes! I haven't been there in awhile and need some recs on hotel accomodation. Somewhere not too expensive and near town area would be good. I'm looking at a few options

Eastin is not very accessible in my opinion. It faces the highway and you have to walk out for taxi and train.

Grand Diamond's location is quite good! But from the outside, I think it doesn't look that good for the ratings. I nearly booked this but chose Baiyoke Sky in the end. One thing is good, I think it's beside Platinum Mall so it's a GOOD PLUS!

Baiyoke Sky's location is quite good but not the best. It's situated at Pratunam and along the roads out, you can easily hop into massage parlour for the achy body after shopping. But I like the hotel for it's spacious rooms, nice spread of breakfast and good cs.

If you want budget and near pratunam area, get Intra Regent. Not too bad but furniture might be a little old. I would try Holiday Inn Bangkok next time, it looks quite good and near shopping area as well. Most budget and accessible would be Asia but most people dislike it. I don't mind but it is quite dark and eerie(no bad experience though) imo. Do go for the cabaret show at Asia. It's very entertaining. Will post pics soon.

wow thanks for your info, real useful!

You paid abt SGD100/night for Baiyoke or more?

Ard $100, a lobang I got from friend. I arrived later than the check-in time, therefore no more standard room and I was immediately given the sky zone room. Lucky!!

Please Please No eastin! Horrible food. Inaccessible never mind coz taxis are cheap. But the worst one is their safe box is at their recep counter. Everytime u want to go in and take your stuff must see their "mood". So now, a in-room safe box is a must to me. Hiaz. One of the worst hotel I've ever been in.

sorry girl, i can't help much with hotels coz i always stay at Holiday Inn Silom coz of our discount. we pay about $85 per room, per night.if u've friends who are flying and travelling during the same period as you, you can ask them to help you with the booking. but they need to be present to show the crew ID. my parents stayed at Arnoma and i heard our tech crew used to stay there too. my parents said it's a fairly good hotel. location is pretty good too. opposite Central shopping centre.

quite alot of people mention baiyoke suite on CC. old but large rooms and it's half the price of baiyoke sky! but i've heard that a friend went into baiyoke suite and found the rooms really bad, he immediately went to baiyoke sky. so thinking twice about it now.

stayed at indra regent too, location-wise not that bad. it's in the same area as baiyoke sky/suite. staff were quite friendly too. the furniture and all were slightly old, but i dont mind and there's shopping downstairs.

i was deciding b/w baiyoke suite, baiyoke sky & arnoma. lmk which you end up choosing, i'm going in may and i've not booked my hotel! =P

[joannako]

[lovedust]

Arnoma is good but more exp than BSky! Don't take baiyoke suite, lousy!!

[purple_showers]

Wow sounds good! How much is it per night? :)
