  1. Adelphi Suites has been my go-to Bangkok hotel for a few trips. Last year's prices were really low because things were just opening back up, but looks like prices for later this year shot up to be above pre-pandemic levels. A pretty sudden change. I really like the location and the rooms, but at current prices it might be time to check out some alternatives in the area that are still priced much lower.
  2. Oh BTW, there are actually THREE Thai food courts in Centralworld. The nice one is foodworld on the top floor.
  3. I didn't check out the Emporium, but EmQuartier is more about all the great international chains than the actual Thai food court. If you go to the basement, the traditional Thai food court is on one side and kinda meh, but on the other side is a separate food court with a bunch of famous international chains. And if you go up to the Helix section of EmQuartier, there are also a bunch of great sit down restaurants. IconSiam has a food court people rave about, but it felt really touristy to me. Worth checking out just to ride the free ferry if you have time.
  4. So back when it opened, I think Pier 21 really was one of the best, if not the best, food courts in Bangkok. But now that Siam Paragon and Centralworld have both redone their food courts, it's not the case anymore. Pier 21 is still the cheapest and that was always the biggest draw, but the quality doesn't seem up to par compared to the other newer food courts. I believe the new food courts in both Siam Paragon and Centralworld invited famous food stalls from the city to set up shop. I saw some Michelin stickers on some of the stalls. Seems to be a wider array of options as well. But both these food courts are definitely more expensive. And I hate how they place the food court stalls next to non-food court stalls which require cash payment. It's super confusing and non-intuitive.
  5. Which is the easiest for non-Thai-speakers to manage? I've heard people mention that DTAC has an app. Do the other companies have apps or easily navigable websites? I'm not likely to stray from the major cities, so I'm assuming service will be roughly the same. But I would like to get one that's easier to figure out without having to enlist the help of a Thai-speaker since I'm planning on keeping a single SIM around for the future.
  6. Asoke is definitely the best location for your needs. You have easy access to both the Skytrain and the MRT. Terminal 21 is right there(it's an amazing food resource for Thai as well as other Asian food). The whole area is tourist central so any services you need are right there.
