Does anyone know if the rooftop bar at the Sofitel will be LB friendly? Staying at the hotel and it's v near Check In Bar!

Hi, Anyone know what the immigration lines are like at BKK these days? I arrive at 1950 in three weeks time and hoping for a quick exit for obvious reasons!

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...

Are the taxi queues long these days? And is Grab an option from the airport?

Think I will book the fast track. Can't seem to find the added value in booking the car too though - isn't it a lot more expensive than the typical taxi to the city? I get the appeal of the seamless nature of it but shouldn't I be able to get an airport taxi for 500 baht? It's been three years since I've been so memories re prices are hazy...

Bangkok is one of the cheapest major cities in the world to book a 5 star hotel. You'll get great service at the Mercure too I'm sure but considering how much most would spend on their trip it isn't that big a jump to something like the Sofitel. Of course there are higher end hotels than this but just one example!

I booked Ibis for the first night I'm coming into BKK but Novotel in the same complex for my last three nights in BKK. Wish I'd saved the money and stuck with Ibis if it's so good - seemed too cheap to be true!
