aldriglikvid 77 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Hi guys,  Overwhelmed with options so I'm doing a small call-out here. My budget is ~50k and I wonder what places you like? Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post richard_smith237 27,289 Posted January 21 Popular Post Share Posted January 21 Have a look at the ThaiEst site for a comprehensive list of ASQ hotels.  Also Agoda has ASQ hotels listed (only about 15 or so).  Agoda also has the benefit of being fully refundable up to a day before arrival which has swung things for me. (Agoda has the same charges as direct booking).  An idea would be to ‘lock something in’ with Agoda, then take your time reading forums, the Facebook ASQ sites etc and making a more informed decision.  Recommendations are a personal thing:  In July I stayed at the TwoThree hotel (45,000 baht) - there wasn’t much choice then. The room was small but comfortable. Internet connection was good. Food was good (I had no reason to complain).  Now there a lot more choice, I will choose something a little better for my next return (in 2 months), I will also choose more space (a 1BR suite)... Golf Quarantine also looks attractive, but the prices for the one course which seems to be playing ball with those making enquiries (Mida Golf Course) is 90,000 baht, which IMO seems extortionate for a below average room... At least there is Golf but that course has green fees for 600 baht usually which doesn’t amount to 50,000 baht over a very average quarantine hotel.   4 Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of the hotels also have reps in the group so you can get answers from the horses mouth as it where.   Link to post Share on other sites

davidcraig 14 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I chose the Best Bella Pattaya where I got a large room with large balcony overlooking the sea plus kitchenette with a full fridge and microwave to heat up the cold food served each day for 45,000 baht. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
thaibroomer 1 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 CentrePoint Silom is solid for under 50k. Food is ok, internet strong, rules strict. Spend a bit more to get river view and full day sunshine. Link to post Share on other sites
Elkski 1,584 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Good to see recommendations.  And Richard would do it again. I'm really not sure I could handle 15 days so confined.  Link to post Share on other sites

No issues whatsoever without booze, in fact I think its better without booze to maintain a healthy mental state (to place that last statement in perspective - I enjoy a drink and meet friends a few times a week for some beers and usually drink with most evening meals).     1 Link to post Share on other sites
