Confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I’m totally confused about where we should stay! 4 adults coming to Bangkok for the first time. We will be staying 4 nights in Oct before we go to Phuket. We would like to stay somewhere close to shopping, tourist attractions, includes breakfast and clean. It will be my mum’s birthday when we get there, any ideas on how we can make it special.

Also, what are the must do’s/see’s in Bangkok. I know we are not there for long hence I don’t really want to waste time wondering around.

Thanks

Confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to Wotif.com and book anything in the Sukhumvit, Ploenchit or Siam areas that matches your budget and catches your fancy.

Otherwise you have to tell us more about what you%26#39;d like to pay and what you%26#39;d expect to get. There are literally thousands of hotels and guest houses in Bangkok from super-cheap to super-high-end.

Confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sukhumvit probably sounds liek the place you want to stay then..but again, whats your budget like?

As above, it depends on your budget. But a good idea may be to book a table near the window in revolving restaurant in Bayoke Sky Hotel. You%26#39;ll see wonderfuk view of BKK at night. A good area for shopping is Siam square and surround, well connected by BTS with a lot of places.

We are travelling to Bangkok for the first time in April next year and have booked the Pullman King Power Hotel. It is only about a year old and sounds fantastic(check out the reviews on TA). It is close to Siam, where you have the Siam and MBK shopping centres. We thought the hotel was very reasonably priced too. If you want something special for your mum%26#39;s birthday check out Loy Nava dinner cruises(you can pre-book and they will pick you up from your hotel) or Lebua State Tower has an open air restaurant overlooking the city(for a premium). I guess for your first time, as ours, you%26#39;ll want to visit the Grand Palace / Wat Pho, perhaps take a klong tour or visit Jim Thompsons house, as well as shopping at MBK or Siam. Or maybe visit Chatachuk weekend market....just a few ideas for you to look at. Another hotel that I could recommend is the Landmark at Sukhumvit. My uncle stayed here recently and said it was great!

Thank you everyone,

I have looked at the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit and FuramaXclusive Asoke! Both are expensive but the reviews are really good.

I would like to spend £50 each per night! Any other ideas.

Hi;

The Majestic Grande is another good hotel in Sukhumvit area which run about 3000 baht a night.

Hello there

I recently stayed at the Millennium Hilton and it is gorgeous. We travel 2 Bangkok every year and we have tried several properties and really love this one the most. It is right next to the river, they have a free hotel boat which will take you to skytrain station within 5-10 min. From there it is only 5-10 min to the city. Sky train is connected to all major shopping malls. Very very handy. They have many outleys, breakfast is served on ground floor, choice to sit inside or outside on the terrace and enjoy breathtaking river views. If you go there, make sure you go upto 360 bar which is on the top floor with amazin views. We stayed in Executive suite which is the best....All the best...

Hi...have seen Vie hotel, (an accor hotel) it is a 4 * which is opening in oct 2008, for around £55 per night. It looks nice %26amp; only 5 min walk from shopping area

We stayed at the Pathumwan Princess in January of this year and liked it so much we are returning in January of next year on our way to Australia and New Zealand.We are paying £121 per night for an execu plus suite.This is for 3 people and includes breakfast.We booked through SAWADEE.
