JohnIrish Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I am looking to book a hotel in Bangkok (Swiss Lodge looks good)... Going directly to the Hotel Web Site... not a good deal (3800 THB) . The prices look expensive! Other on Line Internet sites have the rooms at 2300 THB to 2700 THB (Dates in the middle of Oct) ... but since the hotel offers rooms with a twin.. and the same room with a double.. how do I book to request a double? Most Internet sites do not allow comments and even if I post a comment.. will it be taken seriously? I DONT want to get stuck with twin beds! Should I phone the hotel direct but would they give me a good rate? How do you book using the internet sites to ensure the bed you want? Any advice?

londonthai Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 generally in thailand they have twin beds which can be put together if needed. book on the net and once payed you will have your reference number to show on arrival. Call the hotel with this reference number and ask them for double Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrubbery Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 From memory and past experiences with Sawadee.com. You are able to make requests for double bed etc while making the booking. Though they can't guarantee you will get what you request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackmuu Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I have always requested a double at all hotels in Thailand and many times arrived to find twin. Except one time in Issan (what do you expect), every time I have complained and been given a double room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimjim Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 jackmuu's solution seems plenty easy enough, aye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackspratt Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I have always requested a double at all hotels in Thailand and many times arrived to find twin. Except one time in Issan (what do you expect), every time I have complained and been given a double room. Can you be a bit more specific jack? I tried to book a hotel with a double bed in "Issan", but all I came up with was Udon Thani, Nong Khai, Roi Et, Kon Khan, Korat, etc etc etc (but what would you expect)!

waveydavey Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 It's a problem with the terminology Thais use. In many hotels a 'Double room' means 2 single beds and 'single room' means a double bed! Best to telephone to confirm what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
