Long John

I fly a lot on them. They have PE on some of their 789 and all 777. Service is good on PE and business class. Never flew economy on them so can’t comment. 
in fact I am flying with them tomorrow too. PE seats are worth it because the pitch and width is good. Separate small cabin for PE. Looks like the old business class. Fairly good recline. If you need to get out obviously the best is an aisle seat in the middle row. The 777 has 2-4-2 in PE. There is a foot rest too. The Inflight Entertainment is crap though. 

Yes, you have to go down to the long ramp down to the train station. Quite a few down there.

I used them last year and I reallly like them. Good seat width and pitch.  I recommend checking the flight at searguru.com. 

I used them before they joined star alliance. Ages ago. Had friend used them recently and they said they were good.
Service onboard was good not Singapore standards but not far off.
Didn’t like the non lie flat beds, kept falling down them. But I think they are fully flat now. 
only done premium economy and their old business class product. 
def use them again if the price was right. Currently out of the UK the prices are too high for me to justify them though. 

Hi long John, I'm going to them a go in December, reviews are good. 
BNE to BKK, less than $1000au, sounds good 

Looking at a possible trip early next year.
Checking on Skyscanner and due to the likelyhood of me moving to Brissie, Eva Air are pretty well priced. $965 AUD Brissie to BKK. Good flight times too.
I would like to go on my favorite,Singapore Air but they are another $350.00. I like them because they dont screw me for taking extra luggage.
Any one used Eva. I think they are ok?.

I agree. Great staff, great location. This is the hotel I booked into while my collegue stayed at On 8. Have stayed there a few times. They know me now and really helpful.
Not a long walk from CIB!.
As you say, the beds are hard. Have just booked the Grand Suite for August, but the beds nearly turned me off.
One feature that is good there is the outside eating area with seating facing the road, Great for lb watching. I picked up one from that seating!!!.
I checked out other hotels in the area but could not find anything to match the location, value etc. $75.00 AUD  a night. That is about my max budget when lb chasing. Can't see the point in paying more. Have not had complaints from the girls. Sorry I did. When my flight time got stuffed up I had to return to the hotel for the night. Just got an elcheapo room.
When I arrived back from CIB, with the girl, (starts with L and ends with y), said "oh it only has single beds". Funnily enough it did not matter a few minutes later!!. God she was good!.

I checked out the Solitaire. $100.00 AUD for a standard room. $66.00 USD. It is at the end of Soi 11 by the look of it. I guess you would have to ask the girls if they want to trek that far?

I've booked a few nights there for my next trip (end of the year only). Looks promising! And I can guarantee the girls from Cindy's don't mind the walk (since many of them didn't mind the walk to Travelodge (opposite Solitaire) either  

Sleep on top your lady friend LJ , especially ones with giant hooters  

Just looking through some posts from 2013 re hotel costs.
The guy stated the room rates for the Grand Business Inn in Soi 11. One that I frequent quite often.
He quoted 2500 baht for the Grand Suite. I have been charged 1800 baht for a stay in August!. How is that for deflation?.

Good luck in finding a good bed. Only one that I have found was in Phuket some time ago.
I think beds in Thailand are made as a form of torture. 

I agree. Great staff, great location. This is the hotel I booked into while my collegue stayed at On 8. Have stayed there a few times. They know me now and really helpful.

Yep, I booked it for a business collegue and I had one about 100 metres away to give me some wiggle room!!!

I agree, they have some good food options for a decent price. Thai and western.

Just sharing my thoughts of the hotel. 
Location is excellent on sukhumvit soi 11. Staff was very friendly and gave a nice welcome. Kinnaree restaurant is part of the hotel which is open 24/7, hotel also have a travel agency inside. I booked the grand suite room. Room itself was spacious. Everything outdated, aircon wasnt that great as well. The bed was a major issue. Mattress way too hard. It felt like sleeping on the floor. Not sure if it was just my bed or all beds are the same? I did ask the staff, but they said its normal. No problem to bring guest to the room. No joiner fee. Security will ask for ID, and have the guest sign a document.
I had 2 nights booked, but checked out after one night. I just couldnt sleep well because of the bed. Bed is perfect for having sex on though, if that's something to have in consideration. 
There are so many hotels in Bangkok with good value for the money, for me this was not one of them. If someone have considered staying here, and dont like beds that are too hard then maybe this is some good advice to reconsider.

She gets the other half when you open your wallet to pay the bill …

At BKK there are 2 taxi queues, 1 for standard taxi and 1 for large taxis for groups, usually minibus for large groups but they will handle any large luggage.

Thanks WS

Yes LJ large taxis there , when they see your luggage they will come too you at a guess or show you the way mate 

When you get in line for the taxi queue, you select the type of taxi.  They also had a second queue for large groups.  That is what I remember. 

No worries, thanks for the reply. 

I actually took a journey 5-6 weeks ago, was back to normal fare. Around 250-270 fare from near Asoke to Suvarnabhumi, and then throw in the B75 in tolls, it's back to B320-300, which is what it had normally always been. The dude in November clearly had a broken or clocked meter, which I thought at the time because he caved pretty quickly when I started disputing the fare. 

Cabbages and Condoms is a fun place.  Soi 12.  Condoms galore.  Hanging everywhere, blown up like balloons , multicolored, and, yes, you get a free one to use. The food (mostly Thai) is good, too.  Not cheap.  Good place to take a friend.  Mind you, I was there pre-covid.

Been flyi.g a lot with indigo in India and they are quite reliable and cheap as long as you gofor basic
You will pay extra for everything like luggage. Food legroom etc...
