Hi All,

Going to Bangkok soon with my wife to apply for a UK visitor visa, I want to avoid driving in the city can anyone recommend a hotel where I can park and get public transport to the building,

Thank you. 

Every hotel in Asoke and Nana area, it's at soi 13 afaik between asoke and nana, just grab a random hotel... or if you are extra lazy get an airbnb in trendy.

As you walk to the entrance of the trendy building for visa, stop at the door and next door to the family Mart is a small real estate office. 

 

They have plenty studio rooms in the trendy at 1k

 

 

It depends on where you are driving from. I drive down from up t'North and park at Bitec, get train at On Nut???? straight to Nana (20 minutes), do the business at Trendy and back on the train. Easy.

Citrus hotel on Sukhumvit 13 is about a 2 minute walk to the Trendy building. It has car parking but call ahead to confirm parking space first.

Disregard this, Bitec is nowhere near Onnut BTS

Thank you for the replies but as I said I was trying to stay out of driving around the city and would prefer to stay somewhere outside and get a taxi or bts,

Ruamchitt Plaza Hotel, Soi 13/15

 

I have stayed here and its a 5 minute walk or less to Trendy, the BTS @ nana is also less than 5 minutes walk from here.

 

If you are driving into Bangkok, find somewhere to park the car on the outskirts and Taxi/BTS in to the Hotel and reverse on the way out

I do the same, easy and no hassle!

Depends where you're coming from, I parked at Suvarnabhumi and got the train in to Nana, but I wasn't overnighting. Suppose you could stay at airport hotel.

Yes, amazing how many were unable to comprehend what you were asking. Quite sad, really. Pick an area on the outskirts where you are comfortable driving to and which has a BTS or MRT station there, and Google for hotels in that area.

Park at Swampy perhaps if it's only for a day or two. Airport link and BTS from there. Then any hotel as listed in previous posts depending on budget. There is cheap accommodation around.

We always stay at The Ambassador Hotel opposite the Trendy building, great location.

Quite, obviously some did not pick up on that and it is a good move, you will have much more control over timing.

You didn't say from which direction but would be better look around a convenient station rather than a taxi, you could end up stuck in traffic.

You have the choice of BTS or MRT. With BTS you want the Nana station and leave by exit 4, look for the Miami sign and Trendy just a few yards further up.

If on the MRT you want the Sukhumvit station and you can walk from there, follow BTS signs and at street level go to the right and about 500 yards again see the Miami sign.

You have to get the appointment stamped at the desk near the entrance and they won't do it till 15 minutes before the appointment.
