    Any suggestions for ASOKE hotels?

    The Key, Soi 19 Alley is good with a deluxe room at $50 per night. It is situated with two access points to Sukhumvit and very quiet. Very close to Robinson's and Market for food and toiletries. A five minute walk to Cowboy, 10 to NEP, no joiner fee and I hope I mentioned no noise. Perfect hideaway.

    BKK Craft Beer

    Thanks all for the input. There aren't any barrel-aged craft brews indiginous to Thailand...yet. The majority of 'craft' beers in LOS are imported from and labeled with names from other countries. It's understood that one would want to be particular and singularly associated with ones home country products. I will continue to search for a Thai-oriented craft experience.

    Salil Hotel Sukhumvit soi11

    What's with the yawning pink and puke yellow colors. I guess if you just want to sleep, it'll do.

    Mermaid hotel

    Stayed here for a week last year. Good location down a quiet Soi; reasonable price, corner room was hood-in room safe, good water pressure, daily clean, quiet, no extra for guests and Danish eatery on the lobby level.
  6. I searched this forum and couldn't find a reference for craft beer. I googled and discovered there are quite a few craft brew placez in BKK, but am looking for personal input from BMs. I know many of you enjoy a tasty brew, but for those of you frequenting these extablishments, have you come across any BARREL-AGED brews?
  7. Had similar issues recently. TF locked me out after 5 yrs with zero problems. I finally am able to sign in, but I can't browse anymore. The only page that's displaying is a prompt to update my account to premiere membership ($). I then created a new acct and encountering the same thing.
  8. Just razor cut the page out.

    hotel private access/ discreet entrance

    S31 lobby is up several floors-security desk is friendly too.
  10. Been staying at Jasmine Executive Suites for several years now and its location, room layout and service was perfect until recently. They moved the front desk upstairs and now charge for joiner. Since there are two towers, used to be you could go up the lift from the car parl and bypass everything-but now you end up passing within view of the desk. I'll be staying elsewhere.

    Flight ratings (2015 updates)

    I prefer the usual Asian carriers--ANA tops, Singapore Airlines second and then any of these three: China Airlines, EVA or Cathay Pacific. I have to agree with the last two posts about prices though, the best airlines to obtain the cheapest tickets are the ones that just had bad press coverage (usually for a crash)--Maylasian, Asiana, JAL and Korean Airlines. Just saying...
