steppenwolf108 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 http://www.regentsuvarnabhumi.com/index.html This is a good choice, very close to airport, brand new and not expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonthaburial Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Wish to "freshen up before flying onwards" This indicates that you are arriving on a flight and possibly transitting with a 3 hour stop over. I really dont think the hassles of leaving (even if you arrive on a domestic flight) and returning through immigration etc would be justified for only 3 hours. In fact as aircraft tend to board 30 minutes before departure your three hour stop over is now reduced to 2.5 hours. Not worth it, suggest you stay at swampy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotlost Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 AH yes bring back Don Muang. It had a REAL SHORT TIME HOTEL between the international and demostic terminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpcoe Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 There is a transit hotel within the terminal, but I think it is only accessible if you have international-to-international connections? Look for overhead signs saying "Day Rooms," I think is how it's labeled. Seems to me I recall seeing the overhead sign at the area where transit passengers clear security.

manjara Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 This just brings me to a comment that is only partially on-topic, and that is that the Thai Airways lounges at Suvarnabhumi are s**t! Even if I am flying business class and get a pass into a Thai lounge, I always choose the CIP Lounges instead. Unfortunately none of them have showers as far as I'm aware. It would be a great business to have a decent spa beyond the barriers! (with free access for all air stewardesses!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StreetCowboy Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I believe that Louis Tavern has short-term sleeping/showering available. As far as I know, none of the bars at the airport would justify the need for a short-time hotel, but I could be wrong, and would welcome any information to the contrary, bearing in mind the need to avoid specifics SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monokuro Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 There is a hotel inside the airport, but it's ridiculously expensive. Top floor, next to a Cafe place. You have to walk down a metal runway to get there. (Sorry, those directions are useless! I only went there once and walked straight back out again when I saw the price list!)

You want information, but don't want specifics. Hmmm. "Louis Tavern" is not just a bar. Trying to be as unspecific as possible, you can Google "Louis Tavern Bangkok", and find the location and cost of the rooms at S'poom airport. Rereading the OP's post, he thought 1400THB was too dear, and Louis would break his budget. Edited March 22, 2010 by hhgz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the Thai Orchid lounge has showers. And also the only lounge which seems to have football coverage. Which level of frequent flyer. i.e. Gold card, you get into the lounge and can use the showers and not pay anything (assuming you're on a Star Alliance flight, have long enough to shower, and the shower's aren't already being used by someone else.) Personally, I've only used the showers in the lounge once, as I'm usually flying direct, so would have showered before leaving home. If you're not gold, I don't know if you can pay to get access or not. (Been gold since before Suvannabhumi opened). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashirelad Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) The last time i flew out, unusually i got all hot & sweaty on the way to the airport. I have an Etihad silver card & am therefor able to use the Thai Silk lounges. Enquired about a shower. The room was huge, nicely finished, very clean, with a lovely hot powerful partitioned off shower. However, the food availability & choice is very poor here. SC the OP stated his reason for requiring a room, please get your mind out of the gutter. OP, given the limited time you have, i would suggest that paying for lounge access would be the best way to go. ............ however, on a quick look around the i/net just now, can only find the Louis Tavern one @ £28. Suggest speaking to the airline you onward flying with. Edited April 13, 2010 by Lancashirelad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
