Hi,
Been reading this forum for a few days and I've learned a lot and even adjusted some of my original plans and thinking about Bangkok. Wanted to ask my first of many questions from now to my trip and probably even during it. I'm planning first ever week long trip to Bangkok for later this year and need help with hotel selection.
The 3 I've narrowed down to are Four Points Sheraton, Park Plaza Sukhumvit, and Adelphi Suites at a distance third. A criteria is of course being girl friendly and in my research, that is the case for all 3 of those hotels, correct me if I'm wrong. Price isn't a huge consideration though there is nothing wrong with saving money. My number one criteria is location and convenience. Four Points and Adelphi are pretty much the same, pretty much halfway between Nana and Cowboy. All three are within 10 minute walk to T21 where I plan to spend good amount of my time in and eat most of my meals at. Sidenote, I actually thought about staying at GCP T21 which is in my price range but didn't think value for money was there. Anyways, back to the hotels I'm looking at; Park Plaza is a bit closer to the massage parlors (Mango, Cherry, Addict) but Four Points is right around from Thermae which sounds exactly the kind of place for me and it is also closer to the FL Clubs (Insanity).
As for the rooms themselves, I prefer a bathtub. Stable and fast WiFi is a must as I plan to stay in my room a lot surfing the web and YouTube'ing. Mirrors near the bed would be nice for the voyeur in me, maybe a love seat but these are just minor wants. Strangely I like to be very close to a 7-11 when I'm traveling in Asia.
If anyone has stayed in all 3 or 2 of these hotels and want to compare them, I will greatly appreciated it. Hell even if you have just stayed in one please do tell me what you liked or disliked about it. Please let me know if there is any information would need from me to make a more informed decisions. I'm very through, I also know the unexpected is part of the adventure but still want to be as prepared as possible. Thank you in advance.
