First day in BKK

I have been in Thailand for 3 weeks and have some reports I will share after the trip but thought I would post this to show the type of reasonable Hotels you can get in this wonderful city full of Hot Boys.


Checked in yesterday . The rate was $85 a night including breakfast. I have stayed at all the Marriotts in BKK and find this Courtyard very good value for money.

First the staff greets you at the front door with a big smile and "How are you Sir" and there is just something more genuine about it. Front desk speaks excellent English and as requested they upgraded me to a Corner Room because of my Gold Status.

Now the last few years I have stayed at some of the best serviced apartments in BKK and got quite used to the space. So I approached my room with some trepidation. It was going to be hard not to have kitchen etc but I just don't feel like spending $160 a night for a short 5 night stay.

I was pleasantly surprised with the room. Big windows on 2 sides with lots of light. When you first walk in is a large area to place your open bags, plenty of draws and closet space . Safe and small frig which is mostly empty so you can fill it up with stuff from 7/11.

Nice desk space with enough outlets and comfortable chair. Good TV with decent channel selections. Comfortable bed with many great pillows. Also one lounge chair very comfortable.

A/C very quiet . Bathroom has decent counter space and under sink storage and a window.

Big shower with great water pressure and a place to sit down.

And fast internet.

Will report on breakfast buffet later. Have included some photos , I apologize for the quality because of too much sun.

Oh and the boy was in my room an hour after I checked in. I love Gayromeo!

Thanks for the report. I,too, like Marriott but because of the small towns we often visit on business, sometimes I am lucky to have a Holiday Inn Jr. So far, I have not felt any smarter or flown any better from staying in them but also so far no bed bugs or other unpleasantries either. :smile:

Have fun.

Best regards,

I'm glad you are enjoying the hotel. I have stayed there twice already this year, and will be checking in again Wednesday night. I had always stayed at the Tartawan, but the Courtyard is cheaper and offers so much more.
