I haven't tried it but as a rule I'd avoid buffets (especially at lower prices) in tourist places like that. There's always better food nearby in Bangkok and I tend not to trust buffets like that for hygiene either. Obviously, if you really wanna to go to the observation deck and are hungry it might have uses but it's not something I'd recommend to my friends who visit Bangkok.

Like a plague of locusts!....platters of prawns and duck are blitzed in seconds!!

The biggest threat to the public at Bangkok buffets are Chinese tourists who don't dish food on to their plates, but grab entire platters directly from the serving line to take back to their tables.

I've stayed at City Lodge before, which was fine. Had a few nice STs in there. Good price, great location. My room wasn't noisy (apart from when my guests were visiting). I have a couple of days booked there again soon, happy to revisit again after my last experience.

Either a typo or you splurged for the ten person van, haha. 1200 for a normal car. I take Orange all the time to Pattaya and back. When I first started using them I'd say maybe 1 trip in 10 was substandard in some way. Now I haven't had a bad trip for a long time. Once they sent a subaru that looked like it was ready for street racing. The sport suspension made it one of my most uncomfortable rides ever. I told Orange that they cannot do that to me again and maybe that message has got through because I've been upgraded for free twice now.
