Thighlander Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I'm coming in at about 11:30 and I have a 7am flight out the next morning. Previously, I took the free shuttle to the bus station/7-11 and hung out in the park area for a few hours. Any better suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irlguy1 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I checked into a local hotel and had a shower and a few hours sleep. They picked me up at airport and dropped me back. I also had breakfast. The hotel was a 5 minute drive and only cost 700 thb all in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a similar problem comming up on Saturday, a late evening flight in and a 06:15 flight out the next morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattayadingo Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Wander down to the food hall on the ground floor level where the Thai prices are. Exit and turn left. That can help. Apart from that there is little else to do unless you qualify for one of the lounges? (Do I recall you can pay to use some of the lounges at Swampy airport?)

PattayaParent Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 but midnight is 10am my time, otherwise good suggestion. A taxi should have you in Soi Cowboy in 30 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love to do sidewalk beers on Suk, soi 13. Not to mention the days when the Thermae started rocking at 3:30ish. The chrome-pole palaces (dontcha just miss Trink?) and bars all shut down around 2 am but the sidewalk cocktail stands have spread like a rash along the arse-end of Sukhumvit so no need to hide up Soi 13 any more. Same outside NEP where one can drink cold beer on the sidewalk for another hour or so. Thermae....? Those were the days, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a similar problem comming up on Saturday, a late evening flight in and a 06:15 flight out the next morning. I've stayed at the Great Residence. There are several others in the same area just outside the airport at similar prices. Those hotels offer little more than a small room and an airport shuttle.

SteveCNX Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Silver-Gold Garden Hotel (http://www.silvergoldgarden.com/rates.htm). Free shuttle. Book online to save money and get the ฿690 rate. Can't sleep? This is Thailand - there's entertainment available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaksey Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I did this once, a good big book and a fair bit of coffee. If after your connection you can then zonk out i'd give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
