james.d Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hi All, I have some friends (husband & wife early 60s) who would like to visit BKK whilst awaiting there connecting flight onward. Thing is, i have tried to find a nice hotel downtown for them for their 3-4 hours that they will spend here. It will be from 11am ish till around 2pm weekday but i get quoted a price for 1 nights stay. It was just somewhere for them to drop off bags and get refreshed and maybe walk round a bit. They really dont want to stay in the airport for the duration as it maybe their only chance to see BKK. I sadly will be out of Thailand at that time. Anyone got any ideas on a good or at least half decent place? Thankyou in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyandythai Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hi, try the Novotel at the airport im sure they have day rates, they could then get a taxi into Bangkok and back again....Maybe get a deal with a taxi driver to show them the sights of Bangkok and then back to the airport.. Freephone number is 001-800-12-0666842 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happylarry Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Are you including the travelling time within that 3-4 hours. Sometimes when the traffic is heavy it can take 45 minutes or so to get to the city center, so to be safe, wipe off 90 minutes with the return as well and it doesnt leave much time for freshening up and seeing sites....is it worth it???????

PoeDogg Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Novotel....expensive but very nice and very near the airport with free shuttle service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moe666 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Forget about it, Is the connecting flight international if so at least 2 hours arrival at airport before departure, 90 min. travel time to downtown and return to airport thats 3 hours and a half. What are they going to see in all that time they have for sightseeing, not much. Bite the bullet and stay at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.d Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hi all, Thats for the replies,, will advise them to stay in the airport, thinking about possible taxi scams and downtown traffic may casuse them to miss connecting flight. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
