Hotels in Bangkok

TheUnforgiven · #1 25-03-2003, 06:10 PM

Couldn't find an appropriate place to post my question so might as well start a new thread. Bangkok lao jiaos are welcome to feed us "International Newbies" on the better places to stay in bkk and which are the "lady friendly" ones.

My first question: Does anyone have any info on Siam City Hotel? Any info will be much appreciated.

hi bro, thanks for the info. do you know the rates in baht there? i checked out the internet rates, it's 100USD+ per night. I believe it can't be that expensive.

I wouldn't pay US$100 for it unless the room came with two women thrown in

. US$100 in BKK will get you extremely nice Hotels e.g. Conrad, Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, Dusit etc.

Siam City is US$57 nett + ABF at asiarooms.com.

If you like the area, I would also consider Pathumwan Princess, which is connected to MBK. Easy shopping and easy covered access to the BTS (impt. esp when it is raining).

Have fun!

totally agree with giddly...US$100 goes along way in bkk for board & lodging...

i hv stayed at siam city before...not a bad hotel...more like a 3/4star hotel to me...can't remember the rate, corporate a/c...in any event definitely way below US$100, perhaps 2,000 bht inclu of abf...gal friendly hotel...

between siam city & pathumwan princess...i wld take pp any day...newer hotel...nicer rms...better facilities...a great long pool...closer to good foodie joints...also gal friendly

I would say, stay away from SIam City Hotel. I stayed there several times, they are not galfriendly at all. They will try to charge u whenever a lady comes to visit u. They even tried to charge me for the visit of my secretary in BKK. I will always prefer the Marriott at Sukhumvit RD. no questions asked ever.

try president park apartment located at sukhumvit soi 24. you will not be disappointed. the room decor even better than the 4-5 stars hotel. there is no girls fine. cost about sing $80

The actual reason I'm digging for info on Siam City Hotel is because I have an offer for S$50 per night room only, with 1000 (worth about 7 bucks) of my reward points from Singtel. Trying to see if 57 bucks is worth a nights stay there.

On another note, does anyone know of any good hotels that are below S$50(1250baht)? All I need is a good clean room with a bathtub. In house facilities are not necessary, location doesn't need to be too central as long as it's not too ulu can liao.

Btw, thanks for answering my questions.

Palazzo on Ratchada. B1100 at r24.org. Right smack dab in the middle of the "action". You might not even need a bathtub as you can get your "ap" and "orb" needs fulfilled around the corner.

Unless of course its one of the premium river facing properties where they'll probably spit on your measly US$100

However, the 2 standout values here are the Marriott Resort & Spa and the Royal Orchid Sheraton. The Marriott is the hidden gem - it's practically a STEAL at US$60 nett (on priceline.com but you need a US$ cc for that) and the Sheraton can be had for US$90 nett in the low season i.e. not Nov-Mar.

You MUST stay at a river resort at least once during your stay in BKK. BKK is not only about the ladies-this is truly an understatement. Forget the WL scene for a day and I guarantee you'll discover another side of BKK that is priceless.

At least set aside some time to kick back and enjoy some Thai food with a culture show (no, not the katoey kind). I highly recommend the Sala Rim Nam at the Oriental. Go for dinner (I think ard. B1500) and be transfixed by the magic of the Kingdom.
