    gainsbarre got a reaction from katana57 in Immigration queues BKK?   
    Arrived yesterday around 19.45
    Took me like 10 min to pass immigration and 5 min for luggage
    Been like this for the last 5 months it really improved. They even organise people to go in thai passport booths to make it faster.

    Very accurate description
    I am staying there quite often but I am surprised about the power outlets there is one on each side of the bed and even with a USB plug
    I am travelling a lot so as platinum member I enjoy executive lounge access wich includes happy hour e ery day. Small buffet and free drinks cocktails beer wine whatever.
    I would suggest for those staying often there to negotiate a special price. I am staying the on average 30 to 40 nights a year. And I got a fixed rate in their best room for 3000Thb
    Prices in that hotel went up quite a bit indeed and last check was like 145eur per night which is imo overpriced.
    Novotel soi 4 is for the moment one of the cheaper options in the neighbourhood around 75eur
    Of course location of Mercure is perfect. However novotel is 150 meters from WN

    Kiwi closed in early spring of 2020 and believe there was a permanent decision not to re-open. You may remember they were situated near the beginning of Soi 8 and had to move down to a sub Soi off 8 to make way for a new hotel, which probably did not help their walk in traffic. Their old location is now marred by this ugly designed hotel that brings nothing of interest to the neighborhood.
