Looking for a nice (comfortable, Central, hopefully waterside, not too businessy/bland) for a couple of nights in December en route to islands (oh yes, can't wait) in Bangkok

Taking 10 and 8 year old so would need inter connecting rooms or suite

Could spend a reasonable amount of dosh but don't want to break bank

I'm finding trip advisor mind boggling ditto my guidebook which isn't really helping me on best area to stay in.

Does anyone have any advice/tips? Much appreciated.

Hello


We went to Bangkok earlier this year and stayed here

http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g293916-d549701-Reviews-Centre_Point_Sukhumvit_10-Bangkok.html#REVIEWS


We rented a 2-bedroom suite which was great - you could put the kids to bed and not have to creep around after! There was plenty of space and a kitchenette. Lovely balcony with wonderful view. Pool. It's located in Sukhumvit Soi 10 which is very central. There's a tuktuk service from the hotel to the end of the soi, and from there you're in between 2 sky train stations (Nana & Asoke) from where you can travel around. Downsides, it's not a high end hotel with plush furnishings. Some of it is rather dated. Also breakfast can get busy unless you go quite early.


Centrepoint runs a number of service apartments around Bangkok.


Note, central is not really near to the river which is towards the west of the city. Some of the sites like Grand Palace, big temples etc are near the river.


We used to live in Bangkok, so happy to provide more info if needed!

I work for a website which recommends family-friendly stays around the world, and we recommend this hotel in BKK for families:

I've not been myself, but it looks pretty ideal to me with dedicated kids pool and games room, plus self-catering apartment-style accommodation.


Hope this helps. Have an amazing trip!

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
