Mobile is like that

Further to my video on Baiyoke Boutique Hotel in Bangkok, I would like to help you decide if you should stay there

1. You like to shop. Step out of the hotel, you are at the Pratunam area. Lots of shop selling cloths at low prices. Shop till you drop. The hotel provides transport to Siam Paragon, the more expensive zone I believe every hour and last bus should be 7pm.
2. Pantip Plaza, the computer mall is nearby. Computer stuffs and ‘DVDs’.
3. You like to walk. The train stations are about 30 minutes away. I am fine with that. Able to take a short stroll, mingle with the people although at times, it can get crowded on the way there.
4. Just tell the taxi driver, Baiyoke Sky Hotel. They know. The hotel is so tall you can’t miss it. Baiyoke Boutique Hotel is located behind Baiyoke Sky Hotel. Many taxis located right outside the hotel. Just make sure they go by the meter.

Just my 3 cents of advise.
Lastly here is a Google Map. I mark down where the hotels, the train station, Pantip Plaza and my favorite chicken rice shop. Hope it helps (more…)

For my previous trip to Thailand, I have no choice but to make an overseas phone call to the hotel for room reservation. I was only a few days away from my trip and not yet make any hotel bookings. If I go through their website or via email, I will not be able to receive my confirmation in time before I leave. I presume that like myself, you know the standard room rates of the hotel you are planning to reserve.

So these are a 5 important details to note when making a phone reservation for a hotel room.

1. Remember the name of the staff who process the transaction over the phone
2. Ask for the confirmation number of the hotel reservation

Dear friends,

As promise, a short video of Baiyoke Sky Boutique hotel in Bangkok for you to consider for the trip to Bangkok in January. I feel this is one of the good value for money hotel in Bangkok. Cost about SGD$50++ a night. The location is near the shopping district. Free shuttle service provided to Siam Paragon. The rooms are clean and nice. Hot water available. Free breakfast. Only sad thing is internet access is not free.

Have a look at the room….and you know why.. (more…)
