Good length for an inner city hotel pool but very overlooked by surrounding buildings. Better for swimming for exercise than relaxing poolside

I would avoid Voco. I stayed there in December did not enjoy it. I can best describe it as a Holiday Inn with a different colour scheme. I didn’t like the attitude of the staff and the lack of local features in the decor and cuisine. The saving grace was a good breakfast buffet albeit nowhere near as good as Le Meridien. Le Meridien and Crowne Plaza Lumpini Park are much better options.

With taxis now bookable on the Line Man Ride, Grab and Bolt apps, its increasingly difficult to hail a taxi kerbside in Bangkok. One taxi driver told me that many drivers have language problems understanding the destination so now only pick up locals on side of street or farang via the apps. I always book taxi by app and it arrives very quickly and is inexpensive.

Yes, you can go to Senso on Saladaeng Road and all your dreams will come true. https://sensomenclub.com Please report back after your visit

If you are coming from and returning to El Prat, there are left luggage facilities in both T1 (24/7) and T2 (0600-2200). There is also a manned left luggage facility at Sants station (0700-2200) which is quite close to Thermas

No doubt plenty of tossing and flipping going on inside

Indigo is very comfortable and just 5 minutes walk away

Chiang Mai is always VERY crowded for Yi Peng festival. It is the busiest few days of the year there with hoards of Thai people as well as international tourists flocking to the city for those few days.

The Unicorn was cheeky in asking the question and received an appropriate rebuke

Norse start flying a Dreamliner from Gatwick to BKK four times a week from November which may reduce prices but unfortunately there is no business or first class cabin, just Economy and premium economy

Often the workaround for Thailand UK flights with Qatar is to fly from Phuket rather than BKK. Seems to be more Avios availability.

Looking forward to learning more about Soma Spa….

Magic Touch (behind Le Meridien off Surawong) is H and never disappoints

What is particularly fancy about the safety deposit box? Does it play music when you open it or have a stash of condoms lube and toys inside? From the picture it looked like one of the top opening in-drawer versions that newer hotels seem to favour these days. They seem more common in smaller rooms and sometimes the drawer pulls out from under the bed which I think must be a space saving idea.

I am surprised at Peter RS’s experience with Air Asia rescheduling. I have had flights rescheduled and the airline had automatically issued an email titled URGENT : AirAsia Flight Reschedule Notice. The email clearly sets out the old and new flight times and provides options by clicking buttons in the email to accept the change and reserve seats, or to free of charge move to a different flight between same departure and destination points on same or a different day, or to request full credit which is applied to your Air Asia account and can be used against further bookings up to 730 days from the date on which the credit is issued. I found the process to be particularly well communicated, user friendly and actually much better than the mechanisms many full service airlines have for dealing with changes and cancellations.
