Heaven @ 4

[Heaven @ 4]

I stayed for one night in September 2023 as Petals Inn has now closed down and been replaced by a bar. I got a Junior Suite that was an OK size but it's in the center of the hotel and there are no windows. At first, I couldn't get the lights to work, when I turned the bathroom light on the main light would turn off. Later that day they were working fine, but when I came back at the end of the night the issue came back. 

I stayed when it first opened years ago and the quality had deteriorated, but the price was very cheap so to be expected.

This booking is under the new process rules?, Day-1+Day-5?, did you book both days at Mercure

I actually booked when it was just the Day 1 before they suspended it, then when they reopened and added the 5th Day I booked with them as well for the 5th day.

Trying to make a Test and Go reservation at Mercure on Soi 11. Price is 4,700 Baht for a 24 hour Test and Go stay, but the reservation process seems slightly suspicious. Cant’ make a reservation through their normal system. I entered my information on their website, mercurebangkoksukhumvit11.com, and they emailed me back saying I can pay with a transfer to a bank account or by sending picture of both sides of my credit card. They also requested a copy of the photo page of my passport and vaccination card (I understand why they would need this). The reservation process just seems sketchy and seems like a great opportunity for identity theft. Anybody have any luck making a Test and Go reservation and was the reservation process similar?

I'm booked with Mercure Soi 11. Process has been really good so far. My flight has been changed a few times and each time they quickly changed the hotel confirmation document. I  used Wise (Transferwise) to transfer the money to their account. Got my Thailand Pass already so they are good at confirming your booking as well. 

[Flight Credit. Anybody got a refund?]

I got a voucher from KLM back in March 2020, I used it earlier this year to book an October trip which I then cancelled and they refunded the money this time, had the cash back in my account within about 5 days. 

[What's ur fav Thai dish ?]

My favorite is Massaman curry but it varies quite a lot between places, can be too sweet in some. I found a great one in the Emporium Food Court a few years ago but the past few times I've looked I couldn't find it. Best one I did find  on my last trip was at Lengkee in Pattaya. They also do great duck dishes there as well, Duck with Pineapple was a revelation, did not expect it to taste so nice.

The Green Chicken Curry at Sanguan Sri on Wireless Road in Bangkok is one of the best Thai dishes I've had. Found out about it on Mark Wiens blog (https://www.eatingthaifood.com/sanguan-sri-restaurant/), not far from Nana so I had a walk round. Only open 10am - 2pm and mainly full of office workers. The sauce was amazing, the chicken is on the bone but really tender. Keep going back to try it when I'm in Bangkok
