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!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
