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.

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.

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

That’s great. Keep your wits about you and have a splendid time. Looking forward to your review.

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.

Give this a go.

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.

Cheers guys. much appreciated. I read Saxons post but thought it might have been renovated since then. Current pics posted on travel sites look a tad different hence the my question. 
I like the new pics and the rates are really good. Thank you again.
 
dan

Look forward to reading them soon. Make it a point to visit the LB bars buddy.

good to be back here again after 2+ years. Adelphi is still very good. Clean rooms, comfortable beds and good people. From Sarita, Armani, Pang, Jame, and others who I don't remember their names. rates are pretty decent and it is a 6 min walk to phrom phong bts and 10 mins to sukhumvit mrt.  
There only 1 improvement that needs looking into and that is breakfast which is too 'pork' influenced. That would help. 

look at the wonderboom 2. i got mine from survanabhumi airport at an extremely good price. the tribit stormbox is decent.

I too am scheduled for March but given the new and even more aggressive wave that is hitting Bangkok I may need to put things on hold, as much as I hate to. Are you prepped for the 2 week quarantine. I am assuming that bu March this quarantine would have been removed. 

Hello Ari, 
My sincere apologies for missing this. Neither did I get a notification. 
The distance is 3km to nana plaza and 2.5km to cib. Too far? Well for me it is not as i enjoy walking. Adelphi Suites is alot closer to the action no doubt and I am tempted to change my march 2021 reservation to the latter hotel. The thing is that I am very familiar with the people and my booking is just an email without payments upfront. I don't think I can get that at A Suites.
Again,  apologies for the delay in responding. 
 
Cheers 
Dan
 
 

That's bad for your cholesterol levels 

This was was an 11 day at Adelphi Grande which was very good. It was great to be recognised by all staffers. Breakfast could be improved as it seemed to be pork heavy, what with the strong numbers of Japanese clientele. I especially like the on time housekeeping service, the washing machine/dryer, good comfy bed and pillows. 
Very-guest friendly and they do not fuss with ID and even send them up to the room. I am a regular so I don't know if this applies throughout. 

Thai food is fantastic. 
I love the fried prawns in garlic served at Nara at Siam Paragon. 
Also the Meing Kham at Baan Khanita on Sukhumvit, soi 43 (I think), is just incredible.
 
 

The restaurant is gorgeous, but i presume being at Siam Paragon makes it a requirement. Service is good. As usual I had a hankering for prawns so i ordered their garlic prawns. There were actually 6 decent sized prawns fried in garlic until the skin was crackling crispy enough to eat. Also with it came the Tom Yum, crab omelette and desserts. The prawns was fresh and utterly delicious. I actually returned on 3 occasions just for this. It may be a tad costly but you will not regret it. 

I had wanted to visit on a number of occasions but had to put it off due to my limited number of days here. But this time I forced myself to make the effort. This was a half an hour walk from my hotel and I arrived at 12nn. Tak, the waitress greeted me and showed my table. I was the first one in. I ordered the Tom yum goong, pomelo salad, river prawns in garlic and pepper and a mango sticky rice with a pineapple frost. In the next 5 minutes I was served with the most excellent Mieng Kham I have ever tasted. This was complimentary. And I could not get enough of it. While still enjoying this, my pomelo salad arrived, followed closely by the Tom yum. I reluctantly pushed the meing kham away (it was almost finished anyway). The pomelo salad is typical Thai dish - salty, sour, sweet and held with a good dose of chilli. And there were slivers of chicken meat in-between. The tom yum goong was delightfully sour and delicious. But there was chink in the armor - the prawns were just short of mushy. In the midst of this the garlic pepper prawn arrived. 4 reasonably large prawns, fried in some kind of batter before the garlic and pepper was added in. Here the prawns was fresh. I informed the waitress who took the tom yum away and informed the captain who told her to change it or something. He brought a fresh dish in record time and said that this is fresh prawn. I refused the dish and told him that it should be that way from the onset. I decided to cancel the mango sticky rice. The captain brought the bill on request and pointed out that they did not charge the Tom yum. I said obviously. With nary an apology!! Service from Tak was excellent. The bill was 1318B. I would like to visit them again to try some other dishes.

Yeah! I just saw that. I edited it with another review. Forgive me.  I'm getting old. 
Cheers.
