sitta Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Looking for Hotel in BKK, came across Adelphi Forty-Nine located on Sukhumvit Soi 49, good location, just to experience Bangkok in a week? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 It depends. If you don't mind walking a bit then it's OK if the room rate is amazing. If there is not much in it price wise I would go for somewhere a bit more convenient. Soi 49 is about halfway between BTS Thong Lo and BTS Ekkamai. It's going to be a 10 minute walk to get to the BTS station. Soi 49 has no formal sidewalk and it's not brightly lit at night, but it's a very safe neighbourhood. There is a small 7-Eleven at the start of the soi, but other than that you do need to plan ahead a bit as there not much on the soi for tourists. If you have a particular area you are interested in exploring you would be better staying closer to that area rather than further away even if the cost is slightly more. If you are thinking of using taxis/uber be aware that at rush hour the Soi 49 section of Sukhumvit Road can get extremely congested and it is quite possible to spend an hour and only move 200 meters or less.

pomchop Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Maybe also consider adelpi suites on soi 8...only bit more but way better location in my opinion. Soi 49 can be a bit of a pain re BTS etc while soi 8 is right next to nana bts as well as walking distance to all sorts of bars/restaurants etc etc but soi 8 is pretty quite civilized soi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
