    Thanks for this review. I walked there from Elkamai BTS once, but the queue was so long I didn’t bother waiting. Will have to try again some time as it has great reviews.

    You should. It is a worthwhile wait.

    the other consideration is to try and get their Line contact. It is readily available on their social media posts. I started bugging them for reservations 2 months before I left for Bangkok and they finally gave in.

    before this it was usually ordering through Grabfood.

    Herehai is a small restaurant, about 25 minutes from Thong Lor BTS station. 

    The food and service was excellent.
    We had the crab omelette, tom yum prawns, mantis shrimp, and the crab fried rice.
    Each dish was a feast for the senses. If I return, I would order the same dishes.
    Service was excellent without being intrusive.

    Best of all was that the total came to only 2000B, which is inexpensive. The only issue is the wait times as the restaurant is very small so the lines are long. 
    but if you love Thai food this is really a must visit. This is on par with Jay Fai.

    Maitria is close to both the MRT & BTS stations, roughly 650m, so this is always a good thing and it is something I always lookout for. The walk to trains is comfortable and fast.

    I have been with Adelphi Grande for the past 7 years (roughly 2 visits a year) and have been comfortable with them. Unfortunately, staff turnover is very high so that’s a negative. Before that it was Parchara Suites on soi 6 (now Parkroyal).

    The people at Maitria are good. Well most of them. 
    Housekeeping is spot on, and this is very high on my list. I never fail to see housekeeping, already cleaning rooms when I leave at 930am.

    Breakfast was a little sparse (although coffee was good), but I guess that is to be expected at this price point.
    There is a small laundrette in the basement, which is a useful feature to have.

    The room layout is awkward, and furniture placement makes it very difficult to move around and be comfortable. So this was a negative for me. Not something I’d care to repeat. 
    The bed was spectacular, one of the better features in the room but I just wished the WiFi connection was better. 
    I booked the studio grand deluxe, 2,600B nett per day, with breakfast.
     

    I had planned. 2 week stay with them but I came down with Bronchitis while on a food binge in Yaowarat on the 2nd day. Doctors on the 3rd day, and I got a flight back home on the 4th day. All my plans, down the drain!!! Ah! Well.

    I’ve never done it with a condom, and not really interested.

    I’d have to agree even though if might be risky. But I can’t imagine doing it with a condom.

    I suggest you wait for prices to drop. They do things differently from the rest. A short 1 or 2 hour flight? Maybe. Big Maybe! 

    But anything more? Don't risk it.

    Thanks. I considered that before deciding on Park Plaza. The latter was much cheaper.

    Thank you. Am staying at the Park Plaza (@Asok bts)  in a couple of months and I am looking for a good laundry service. 

    A washer/dryer in the room means I don't have to bring that many change of clothes. BKK's high humidity is a real pain. 

    Thanks again.

    The other Adelphis have it too. My go-to was Adelphi Grande on Sukhumvit 41 (looking for a change now though).

    Hi oily, is Ananya Massage & Laundry Service the one you are referring to? I found it on Google. 

     

    Thank you

    Hi guys 

    Does anyone have any feedback on Rembrandt hotels? I was looking at another stay in Oct/Nov '23 and I noticed that their rates are pretty low. For example,  7 nights, with b'fast, for less than 15,000Baht. And theres no payment now. 

    I usually frequent Adelphi Grande but their rates appear to be rising steadily out of my reach. Their Pictures look good and reviews seem good too, so am curious about the low price.

    Anyone who has ever stayed with them, I would sincerely appreciate a quick review. 

    Thank you loads.

    Is Grab a good option from the airport? Don't want to be waiting in a taxi queue for a long time on arrival! It's been a few years since I've been to BKK...

    I read sometime ago that Grab is no longer allowed to pickup from the airport. Can someone verify this please? I will be arriving in 14 days. Thank you.

    I am replying about earbuds, not headphones. 

    You might want to look at newer brands like Anker or Edifier. These are great Value for money brands.

    The Sony wf 1000xm3 is about a year old and Its price has dropped considerably as the new model is out. But it was voted best among reviewers.
