Guest shockdevil Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I could use some advice on airport accommodations in Bangkok. I will be catching a very early flight from Bangkok to Bali and believe it might be easier just to stay at a decent hotel near the airport instead of travelling from Pattaya in the wee hours of the morning to make the 06:00 flight. I've done the early morning ride to the airport before and it was a scary ordeal. I could swear the driver was falling asleep behind the wheel at times. It would be great if you could share any experiences you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Have a look on the Agoda website. There are several hotels & you can view them on a map. I recently tried one, but their advertised "24 hour free shuttle" to the airport run at 1 hour intervals, so that can waste a big chunk of the advantage of staying near the hotel.

pong Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 take one situated on Lard Krabang rd-the others are much further away and may take nearly 30 mins even in a taximeter early morning. That is nearly the same as from central BKK early mornings by expressway. When asking about HTLs-always state budget or required minimum ''luxury''-so many of you seem so overfussy aboyt that (when I read normal HTL reviews). There is a neutral site listing these all, impartial. I think it is either somewhere on tripadvisor (FAQ-in forums Thailand) or a site like ''backpackthailand'' (dont be misled too much by that name). Either on this site or another of the few gay sites, someone (latintopxx?? or so??) had a report on a successfull encounter in a place like ''Queens (Garden) resort'' or hotel, about 800/1000 THB with a 10 min free shuttle to swampy. OR: the NASA-Vegas, as it is now right smack beside the new ARL-cityrail at RamKamHaeng-rooms are 700 or so. However, in the morning, first trains are from 6.00 (to arr airport by 6.28)-so that may not work out for AirAsia early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterRS Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 When asking about HTLs-always state budget or required minimum ''luxury'' Very good suggestion. This is the useful agoda page. It includes a detailed location map. I have always found agoda's prices extremely good for Thai hotels. http://www.agoda.com/asia/thailand/bangkok/airport/suvarnabhumi_international_airport_hotels.html?type=1&cid=1419127&url=http://www.agoda.com/asia/thailand/bangkok/airport/suvarnabhumi_international_airport_hotels.html&tag=61061a1e-b9ee-4575-8255-cfa1763d4cb6&gclid=CJ3bl5algqYCFUR76wodm0cQoQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10 minute shuttle bus loses it's appeal when they only run at 1 hour intervals. Obviously a lot of aircraft noise too. OK in other respects.
