My main purpose in going to Bangkok is to shop, shop and shop some more. Baiyoke suite is the best hotel to stay in for that matter. Located at the heart of Prattunam, all the cheapest clothes shops are right there as you step out of the hotel. You'd be surprised how much and how far 100USD can get you.
Reception was ok, considering only 25% of the people in Thailand speaks english, they were quick and polite. Lobby and coffee shop located at the 5th floor, not as nice as it looked like in the net, but I really couldn't care less, I just wanted to go shopping right away.
Rooms were spacious, fairly clean, good airconditioning, beds and pillows are soft and comfy, linens smelled nice, clean towels,robes and slippers provided, complete toiletries, very small tub though and low shower heads. Definitely not for tall and wide loads. Water fluctuates from warm to cool, but with the hot weather in Bankok, you'll definitely need a cool shower.
Good view but no access to the balcony. Dining table, personal ref as the mini bar. 2 TV sets, 1 in the bedroom and the other in the living room, only 2 out of the 5 channels are english, no time to watch anyways-1st batch of shops open at 3am-9am. 2nd batch from 9am-6pm. 3rd batch 6pm-12mn. This definitely is the shopping mecca in asia.
A weighing scale is also provided so you can monitor not your weight but your luggage weight.
House keeping, i really dont know, i keep my DND sign on the door knob all the time to keep my shopping bags secure.
Breakfast buffet at the sky lounge is good, plenty of choices. great view.
TIPS:
- if you need anything from the housekeeping or other department, call the reception and ask them to call them for you instead. Only the front office speaks in english.
- Live a little, be more adventurous with your taste buds, street foods are fairly safe and verrrrry delicious, they have everything from fruits to prawns and friedrice to satay barbeque. If it smells good, it tastes good! (Except for the Durian fruit, it smells like hell, but tastes like heaven) Yummy! Beats room service! and really cheap too, 100baht for a complete meal(32baht to 1USD), including fresh fruit juice too. Just step out of the hotel.
Overall...theres no other hotel in Bangkok for me! Affordable, convenient, comfortable. What more can I ask for?
