stravers Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 It may seem like a funny question but I'm spending the entire day in Bkk from morning to night and after a few hours of walking, I may need a nap somewhere in central Bkk. Not interested in short time rooms, where else is good? I was thinking the library in Lumpini Park. Any other suggestions? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1Str8 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 http://www.mandarinoriental.com/bangkok/fine-dining/authors-lounge/ This is a nice place to nap in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starky Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Why not lumpini...but just the park not the library? Stretch out under a tree on the grass. Sorted. Edited April 18, 2017 by starky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamyai3 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Most coffee shops won't disturb you if they're not busy and you order a drink and doze off in an armchair. Order a soda or decaffeinated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stravers Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Bumrungrad hospital is the solution. No purchase necessary. Provides many floors offering a nice view with free coffee, tea, water, toilets, wifi, peace, quiet, cleanliness, various forms of padded seating, centrally located, and an inexpensive canteen packed with pretty nurses.

I guess if you think about it there are many people waiting at the Hospital for someone having treatment etc and since Thais can sleep anywhere it would just seem normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie the Minx Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 MacDonalds, if you are poverty stricken you can crash out there for the night too, free A/C, WiFi, food and cheap as chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the Muslim prayer room which provides towels, shower, and soap (as many Muslims shower before prayer) and there was someone sleeping on the carpet. I brought a change of clothes knowing there would be a clean toilet and shower available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie the Minx Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Muslims pray five times a day. They wash their feet and hands but don't shower. Unless you are actually a Muslim you won't be allowed into a prayer room. Curious post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 The guys in my office at Asoke go to a quiet massage parlor nearby and pay them some baht to nap at lunch. I would imagine it could be done in just about any part of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 It is a strange question actually. You can get a ST room for 2 or 3 hours for 300 b with aircon. A 90 minute foot massage will give you a good nap. But I guess you want free? There are some covey holes under the tollway near Nana maybe a good place for you.

I give a tip and of course also get a foot or oil massage every other day. They did not have much business and didn't mind as they were usually engrossed watching the Korean soap operas on TV. And for fun I would take them to the 7-11 for a burger Kung. Cheap fun little diversion shopping trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitman Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 In Tokyo i saw resting places on top of normal shops...take an elevator to the 5th floor and there are small private rooms with a decent recliner in them...for rent by hour. BKK also needs something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbi1 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 If the space isn't already taken by someone else, under the staircase of a BTS station. Provides you the perfect shade from the hot sun and gives you some shelter from the rain too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
