champers Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I have to go to UK Embassy next week and will spend a couple of nights in Bangkok. Please can you personally reccommend a good hotel close by in the 1000 to 2000 Baht per night range. I like a good breakfast included if possible. Many thanks in advance.

1fortheroad Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I normally stay at Citrus if I ever have to go to the Trendy building: https://www.citrus13bangkok.com/en/ I have always paid about 1,300 baht per night. About a 5 min walk to Trendy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 The Grand Swiss is at Suk and Soi 11. Modern with decent breakfast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partington Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 You must mean the VFS passport renewal service in the Trendy building, which is a private company that handles UK passport renewals? The actual UK Embassy is now in Sathorn, nowhere near the Trendy building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filer Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Try the Eastin Grand Sathorn hotel, on the south side of Sathorn (same side as the UK Embassy and a few minutes walk away from the Embassy). The hotel connects directly into Surasak Skytrain station, which makes it very convenient. Have stayed there a number of times. You may under current conditions be able to get a rate close to what you indicate. It's a modern hotel and I've always found it very efficient and pleasant with good breakfast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I am trying to think of the place I stayed at, it is in the next Soi, 10 minute walk to Trendy, it's an Irish type pub with very nice accommodation above, lift to upper floors...Will try and find out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Stable Lodge is a nice hotel in Soi 8 which is opposite Soi 11. Walking distance from the hotel to Trendy probably less than 10 minutes. http://www.stablelodge.com/restaurant.html It's obviously not a big 5star hotel but a small nice hotel with breakfast at the pool. I like it. Edited December 23, 2020 by OneMoreFarang 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camble Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I'm staying at the Sofitel, around the corner. Booked on Agoda for 2650/night. View from the room Bring your own whisky They have a rooftop bar on the 32nd floor, great views of the city I ordered the cheapest thing on the menu, a glass of Spanish red Breakfast is included, and ala carte, but you can order as much as you want. Besides this, I had smoked salmon Eggs Benedict. I'll check out the pool this afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allencraig Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 If you're ok with something less luxury than the other recommendations, then the Miami Hotel is literally right next door (to the right if facing Trendy). I checked it out once when a friend was visiting me. About 850thb/night, cutely retro designed, with pool and perfectly comfortable. You can pay extra to include breakfast and anyway there are quite a few restaurant options within one block. https://www.thaimiami.com/en/home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champers Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 This thread is really out of date now; I visited Trendy already at the end of December; I doubt I will need another stay. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is nowhere near where he has to go to renew his UK passport (Sukhumvit 13), it's the opposite side of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I said in my edit, but it's an old thread and irrelevant to the OP nw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
