Accommodation in Bangkok : Feb 2013 Trip

Hi guysssss! So I just came back from my Bangkok trip from 21-25 Feb. Really had fun shopping! Although Mr.Mon had insufficient funds, but he was able to shop quite lavishly (and by mean shop lavishly, only at wholesale market la no branded things in his shopping lists :P)

Anyway...this time around we landed at Don Muang airport...no more at Suvarnabhumi. Originally planned to just take the taxi from airport to hotel since there were 7 of us (from past experiences the taxi fare divided by 4 or 3 person is still cheaper compared to paying the BTS for 4 or 3 person combined) but I dunno what got into us coz once we got out of the airport and saw the shuttle bus to Mo Chit BTS station we immediately and stupidly got onto the bus hahaha. The bus fare to Mo Chit was 30baht per person then BTS from Mo Chit to Sala Daeng (our hotel area) was 40baht per person. Total 70baht which if 4 person riding the taxi should have been cheaper and less hassle! Yeah since our taxi going back from hotel to airport on the last day was 220baht plus toll charges (you can tell the taxi driver not to use highway and save 45baht but only when its certain there will be no traffic jam okayyy)

So let's look at the hotel pics. We took the one I recommended in my previous post on Bangkok Hotel Recommendation, Take A Nap Hotel at Patpong area...

Reception area...

My room....which cost RM130 or 1300baht per nite for 3 person...

My friend's room which cost RM160 or 1600baht per nite for 3 person but can accommodate 4 person for RM200 or 2000baht per nite...

 

 Another friend's room for RM160 / 1600baht per night. Room for 2 person. I love this room!

 The best thing about this hotel is the provided breakfast buffet is HALAL.

Breakfast was ok with 1 main fried rice/noodles dish that changes everyday, 

fried eggs, sausages, toast bread with butter & jam and cornflakes and milk 

and coffee and tea and orange juice.

Eating area cum entertainment area...

The hotel is conveniently located just around 400meters from Sala Daeng BTS station, 200meters from Patpong nightlife and night market and there are 24hours Burger King, McDonalds and KFC also just around the area...

When telling the taxi driver just mention Suriwong, Patpong since not many (none from all the taxis I took hehe) know about this hotel. Go to the end where the Suriwong road meets Rama IV road. From that end its just a few steps to the hotel which is exactly on Rama IV road but since Rama IV road is a few kilometers long so its not practical to just mention Rama IV road when telling the taxi driver...

Anyways...I only have time to end here. Will put an entry soon on the Mr. Mon's Must Do in Bangkok...Till then...have a good day all. :)
