orientfan Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Highly recommend staying by the river. it is usually cooler and, unless you plan to do lots of shopping, gives you great travel opportunities on the new, cheap public boats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummin Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 Found a great offer with breakfest at Hilton next to Icon Siam, and booked two nights there, before heading for Divalux, a nice airport hotel. Both have great fitness/ gym and ok swimmingpool. Thanks to those of you who contributed with nice suggestions. https://maps.app.goo.gl/FYUCoBKMrnDRJf8x9 https://maps.app.goo.gl/UA7WJb5fQ6CB9zgz7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Marriott Soi 2 has an excellent gym...not the best pool for size and I'm struggling to think of a great one in a hotel in lower Sukhumvit....I use one in Phra Khanong called Opus...superb 25m pool and always quiet....the Marriott has a good jacuzzi and sauna however. For eats I suggest the Italian, Via Emilia...you need to book however....for a superb krapow try Krapow Gapae off Asoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its over 5k Baht a month for membership so I moved to Phra Khanong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
