jdlancaster Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I am looking for the best deal given my per diem for 12 days in bkk. It's set at $146 which I believe must include the VAT tax. Anything I don't spend I lose. I'm looking for a place that'll give lots of extras such as a long executive club happy hour free food etc... im trying not to spend alot of money elsewhere so i can pocket my food perdiem....anyone have any good experiences?

Rocketsurgeon Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Asia strikes me as a region that is about of low cost, but not at all inclusive. Alcohol is expensive, I doubt you will find a aycd free happy hour or free massages or free anything. The costs ate minimal compared to the west, but everything costs. Why don't you enjoy the stipend and book yourself into the best hotel you can, say the Oriental. Maybe a new luxury hotel each trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlancaster Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Well there are definitely options with happy hour and such. 6 months ago I had a executive room at the holiday inn sukhumvit 22 was upgraded to a suite and came with free breakfast and soft drinks and free alcohol from 6-8 with snacks and salad. Right now I'm considering going there again or maybe the continent hotel. The continent has something similar for their sky rooms but I have never stayed there. I've only gone to the axis and spin bar there. I am sure some other hotels have something similar in my budget but I don't know where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabhand Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 This link may give you a few leads - a bit outdated though. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g293916-i3687-k3508947-Hotels_with_great_club_lounge_access-Bangkok.html The President Palace hotel on Suk 11gets a mention and seems to fit within your budget.

jdlancaster Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 I liked my stay there last time. .. I think inwill try the continent hotel and their sky rooms first and have the holiday inn as a fall back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mca Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Eastin in Sathorn is good....nice happy hour cocktails in the Exec lounge and right by the BTS. Good one smokie. I've stayed there a few times and their choice of exec floor nibbles during happy hour meant I was stuffed enough not to have to shell out for dinner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
