I too am also looking for this kind of information, that's why I started the thread I don't arrive there until the end of May, so it'll be quite a while until I can rely this information dodi44

Hi All Just booked for 5 nights at Retro 39 with one of their suite rooms $37 AUD per night including breakfast Anyone stayed recently or in the not to distance past As an added bonus, they have a dispensary next door and going by one review they other a 10% discount if you're a guest at Retro 39

They make a nice coffee there at the Landmark After a session at Tulips/Cherry, I'd go to the Landmark for a coffee and piece of cake, as I staying in Soi 8

That works well for me, by the time I arrive in BKK, that will be the 14th day of use I assume there is a DTAC shop in T21 were I can update the SIM Thanks for all your help expot

Bare with me expot, as you may think you're talking to a small child Lets say I chose this option When paying the 2nd lot of 599, do I keep the same number or do they give me another number and the phone call credit just gets rolled over Like I said, I don't care how much data I get, for me its all about making phone calls I'm going to Thailand for the ladies, not to surf the net

So its 599 Baht for the card and if I whack another say 500 Baht for calls (works out to about 83 minutes) it should cost me a total of 1099 Baht, this is using DTAC as an example Does that sound like the right way to go about it I had another way of setting up my phone overseas, it cost $25 AUD for the SIM and I added another $50 AUD for calls, but they don't offer this service anymore in Australia

What's a good sim card that's more phone call friendly than data friendly How much data comes with a plan is a bonus, for me the most important thing is I need to be making phone calls back to Australia on a regular basis About 100 minutes and 30 days should be sufficient Please advise

Just an quick update I've cancelled this booking, as the OZ government has extended the bio emergency border closure to June 17 That was the around the time I was looking to check in I'm now thinking of trying to get to Thailand in mid 2022

Hi Lads Anyone ever stay at Tints of Blue??? I made the reservation for mid June 2021, fingers crossed I can actually make it As I booked it with booking.com, as long as I cancel 24 hours before my arrival date, I don't lose out financially I'm paying $40 AUD per night which includes breakfast and its located on Soi 27

I arrive in Thailand on March 18, so the election might have just taken place or just about too I don't drink, so Thailand being "dry" on election day, has no impact on me One trip I remember, I arrived on election day (year Yingluck was elected) headed over to Tulips and it was business as usual, You wouldn't have know there was an election on...

That's why you paid 30 and I paid 50 Also, I think they charge a little extra for a room with a balcony, as opposed to those rooms without...

@lychee4u When I made my booking in Sept 17 for Nov 17, that was the best price I could get, but it did include breakfast Was breakfast included in your rate and when did you book for, I think you meant to type Oct 17???

@ toonboy I didn't take any pictures of the hotel, but below is a website to the Sawasdee group Click on the Sukhumvit Area tab for the Sawasdee hotel on Soi 8 http://www.sawasdee-hotels.com/

I didn't notice a review on this hotel, so I thought I write one up On my most recent trip (Nov 2017) I stayed at Sawasdee Hotel for 4 nights on Soi 8 I usually stay at Citadines 8, when I travel to BKK, but it was full on my dates These hotels are separated by about 50 meters, as I like the neighbourhood, its quite and only about 300 from Suk Rd I enjoyed my stay at Sawasdee The bed was fine, it had a balcony and the bathroom area was clean Also, it was nice to get a decent breakfast, buffet style, compared to the Citidanes breakfast which is poor I paid $50 AUD per night and I guess the main reason BMs are reading this is to learn whether it is GF, the answer is YES Would I repeat, again the answer is yes My rating = 7.5/10 (Citadines gets a 7, as I mentioned, half a mark off because of the poor breakfast)
