Don't worry about the traffic on a Sunday morning, even election day.

The Eastin is over in New Petchburi Road/Makkasan Road. Even if there would be demontration at Victory Monument-area, too far away for you.

Your only worry, no welcome drink, at least no alcohol on election day.

Cheap also (the hotel)

We pay 24 € / night including breakfast.
