Our stay the hotel was for three night in late May 2008, at the end of our honeymoon. Our first time to Bangkok as well
Our room was lovely, clean, nice sized with a great bathroom. Our room had a mini kitchen, including microwave. The room had everything we needed including scales which are so handy after doing alot of shopping and you are going to the airport.
Breakfast was nice and they had a good selection. But there are a couple of supermarkets across the street. A good selection of food
We walked to the skytrain and it is a about a 1 km, but an interesting walk. Sky train is airconditoned and you can get around for the day for 140baht.
Our only issue was with the bell boy, if you were not street smart, then you could get yourself on the trip around the jewellery and tailor shops. He wanted us to go with his friend (taxi on a meter, which is waiting down the street), which we did but only to MBK much to his disappointment of trying to get us to shop with him for a flat fee of 100 baht, where ever he wanted to take us!! am thinking they are all on kick backs but we were not sure. They were not pushy but we were quite firm as well. And made sure he had us on the meter to MBK
Make sure you always have the taxi use a meter, and dont believe anyone who comes up to you on the street. The palace supplies you with appropriate clothing if you need it, and they are open most days except certain holidays. Also the temples are open all day as well... we had people approach us alot but were quite firm and they seem to go away. Just becareful and trust your instincts.
And finally we loved the night bazaar, all the stalls had different stuff and we went back most nights after going to other markets. Didn't mind MBK but all the shops seemed a bit too similar. The Emporium down the street seemed OK.
