Geep Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 With the flooding going on, and Bangkok evacuating somewhat, are the hotel rates dropping in the city? Im there next week for 10 days have 2 different hotel booked in Bk and one in Krabbi but havent noticed much of a price drop, Im back agian in mid December so with a bit of luck due to the floods flights might drop in price then ? Here's hoping :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 You'd think all the family-friendly tourists would be cancelling their trips now. If they're not making a dent then I guess LOS is not considered a significant family-friendly destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stmapede Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I checked the hotel rates in Agoda. There are only some hotel offering lower rates. Most of them are just marginal discounts with some selected one offering slightly better discoounts. It would not make much difference if your stay is short.

wackyjacky Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) Friend of mine is at the Sheraton now. All the bars and restaurants are closed. He estimates they're 1/4 full. Published rates on Agoda, Expedia etc, seem about the same. Bet you could do well walk-in though. wj Edited November 6, 2011 by wackyjacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 You mean the bars and restaurants at the hotel I take it and not city-wide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit In Myanmar Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I am at the SGS now. The bars and restaurants are working reduced hours. the place is very empty. I spoke to someone the ot her day who claimed he walked and negotiated a rate of BHT2000 per night. Could be total BS but seeing how empty they are could be true. For all customers they are offering their delux benefits package (free breakfast, internet, evening cocktails etc) for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at the 4Points in a couple weeks (if I don't fly into PNH or SGN instead). Would obviously rather be at the SGS for less $$. Thai desk clerks don't usually negotiate well. They're deathly afraid of making a mistake and losing face. Once you get to the manager you can talk turkey. wj Edited November 7, 2011 by wackyjacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
