TotallyOz Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I enjoy living in a hotel like environment but with the economy going on a downturn, I needed to find a place that was better on my wallet and much cheaper than a hotel. I looked at many places but finally narrowed it down to 5. All of them were great properties and I enjoyed my visit to each. Without a doubt, the best gym was at the Ascott. It was fantastic and very impressive. The Marriott had the best staff of any of the ones I looked at. Fraser Suites was my favorite building structure and loved the lobby. My descriptions were taken from their websites, so they are publicity for the hotel and not my personal evaluation. If you were looking for a place in Bangkok that is nowhere near the price of a five-star hotel but the same quality of living, any of these places would be fantastic. If others know more to share, please list them as well.
