Hi hakida,
juz be back from BKK few weeks ago, i stayed a Pathumwan Princess, it's v.convenient hotel.
It will be easy for you to go ard.
MBK shopping center, one of the largest shopping center in BKK, juz a stone away. Opp. the hotel is Siam Center, Siam Sq, etc.
As for spa, i'm not sure, but if you want to go massage, all the massage centres are located beside NOvotel Siam Sq Hotel. Juz go to Novotel Siam Hotel, and exit thru the side door, there will be couples of choices.
Tried one called Marble House, also reccomended by some girls here. Quite good though.

Hi,
I was back just last week, stayed at Novotel. Very good service & breakfast. Tried the massage opp Novotel, "Chang..." very good & it costs only $400baht for 2hours. The room is nice but seems to have complaints for mosquito. Pass by mable house, seems not bad too but it costs $500baht for 2hrs.
Novotel is near to Hard Rock Cafe, Coca restaurant. I prefer shopping at MBK, Chatuchak.

Yes HRC and Coca is very near to Novotel. Would recommend you try Canton steamboat(which is opp. Novotel) rather than Coca.
I believe all the massage parlour there is unisex, unless it's some kind of "special" massage which is meant for men only???

sorry if i sound too ignorant...but regarding the spa thing...what do have to bring? need to wash up?
and so they provide a room for changing? coz my friend said she went to one and has to get naked in front of them to change instead of letting giving a room to change into robe

Hi, have anyone tried MK Suki? It's the cheaper local version of Coca and a LOT tastier (btw, I think Bkk Coca tastes bad). The price is fantastic!! They have an outlet at MBK. The MK in Singapore is quite lousy and the price ... X4 of there.
If you want great spa experience, I think Marriot Hotel is good. I normally just go to the nearest massage parlour to my home (yes, it was my home for almost 2 wonderful years). Oh, I love to have my hair shampood there too. Shiok head massage!
For normal Thai massage, you just change into their PJs. But for oil massage, you've got to remove everything except undies. For both types, my gf and I or just 1 couple can share a room. Most places for traditional, the whole place is divided by curtains. For oil, they normally have rooms/cubicles.
I personally feel that TM revitalises me so much so that I can go back for another round of 18-holes. For OM, I feel that it relaxes me well for the night sleep. For those with lower pain threshold, opt for OM. hehehee
I personally prefer PP as it's right beside MBK and easier to walk to the train station.
I also enjoy shopping in Emporium (Sukumvit Soi 24). It's a upper class shopping place where I get all my bras and panties supply. Tourists also get 5% disc there. I also love the food there esp the fried rice in the food court. The Jap rest there is also cheap!! A simply Hiyashi cost only about $5!!

hi oreo!
i've stayed at D'MA just last mth. U can request either 2 single beds or 1 double bed when u check in. Just take note incase if ur bed request is nt avail at dat moment, u might need to wait awhile for them to arrange for ya. (eg. b4 u check-in, many ppl request for double bed)
cheers!

Hi All
Me & my fren (ladies) are going to BKK on the SQ promotion. Taking the midnight flight on 12 Aug (thursday) & staying at Asia hotel.
Just wonder if anyone leaving on the same day & also staying in Asia Hotel? If yes, then perhaps we can share a taxi there .. its kind of safer with more pple cos we will arrive past midnite bkk time..

Hi,
Anyone tried Baiyoke Suite before? Have read feedback on Baiyoke Sky but haven't heard much about Baiyoke Suite. It's cheaper so was thinking of staying there.

hi ckluv
read in other forums that suites is much older hence cheaper. Slow lifts, yellowish bed linen are some of the grouses. Sky would be a better choice but much more expensive.
Eastin, Ambassador (standard wing)are some alternatives. range is about 25US per night including ABF from internet.

Hi,
Thanks for suggestions. Yeah I also got apprehension about Baiyoke Suite...didn't seem too enticing. Tink will try Arnoma, not too expensive.

Hi postpet2, Arnoma is beside gayson (brand shops), next to it is Inter-con Hotel then holiday Inn Plaza then is the BTS.. Is abt 5 min walk... I did not stay there but I recommend my friends to stay there & they said is gd...
Heard that GRand Diamond is not bad but it is not very near MRT... But it is near Pantip Plaza (like our Sim Lim)

Hi wedding9999, i stayed at First Hotel before.. its a pretty old hotel.. unless u dun mind. Overall, i'll give it a 4/10.
If you're on a budget, I would recommend Asia Hotel.. average and convenient.. the skytrain station is linked to the hotel (not sure if this is yr first time to Bangkok.. but i always choose to take the skytrain to beat the traffic jam).
Well, if budget isn't a problem, then take Arnoma Hotel. Pretty new and i think its 4star if i'm not wrong. Everything pretty new inside. Its opp World Trade Ctr, and just 5mins away to skytrain station. Price is slightly higher than Asia Hotel.
Hotel D'Ma & Bayoke Sky Hotel oso not bad but not sure of price. Convenient location too but not near skytrain station lah. Gotta go around by taxi or foot.

Thks pinkforest !
I wanted Asia hotel too but I last min booking for next mth so may not be able to get Asia hotel.
We hv budget & Asia hotel is within our budget.
Aroma hotel too expensive for us.
Hotel D'ma seems pretty far....;p...so is Bayoke Sky & think price also abt same as Aronma.
How abt Baiyoke Suite & Eastin ? Think they also far, right ?
If not near skytrain, so got to take taxi ? Troublesome ?
Easy to go MBK fr Baiyoke Suite & Eastin ? Can walk ? Where can shop ard there ?
Thks so much !

Hi all,
Going to confirm my tour booking today...can anyone comment whether Baiyoke Sky or Arnoma is better (coz both are the same price $228 for 3D2N by tiger air)?
Pathumwan princess is $358, more expensive arnoma..is it worthwhile to go for Pathumwan Princess as compared to Arnoma/ Baiyoke? Thks!
