    I am not sure as It was my first stay at Ibis Styles. Per a review of the hotel below it opened in 2018:
    Ibis styles Sukhumvit 4 Bangkok opened in October 2018 which makes it one of the newest hotels in Bangkok city. Hotel is part of Accor hotel’s “two-in-one hotel concept” which means that there is also another hotel in the same building (in this case Novotel Sukhumvit 4 Bangkok).
    They have a small infinity pool on the rooftop but it is decent enough to chill and catch some sun in the daytime.

    I’ve stayed at @Mind a few times and take the one bedroom suite and it’s only a couple of quid more and well worth it.
    previous post I did on the hotel
    @Mind Executive Suites Sukhumvit Soi 85
     I have already posted the pictures above a couple of posts earlier the day I arrived. I had meant to do a report on the hotel there and then but with one thing another (drink & LBS mostly) I could not get it done.
     Here is a brief outline. After arriving at 9.30 at the airport and I had not made an early room booking. I decided to take the airport link train and change at Phaya Thai BTS to the hotel in On Nut soi 85 It takes about 5 to 8 minutes walk from On Nut BTS to the hotel that is just inside soi 85
     To my surprise I could check in to my 1 bed room suite straight away. First thing I noticed was how new things were and how clean it was. The rooms are of good design with a dining table for two at the far end of the room from the balcony Sofa (can be made in to a spare bed) and table with a flat screen tv & dvd player. Kitchen as everything you need including coffee, tea sugar and a kettle. Plus a microwave too. Its as a large refrigerator not a mini bar
     There is a balcony with a sink to wash shorts etc after swimming or you can use the balcony to smoke if that's your thing.
     Wifi was excellent in both bedroom and lounge room
     
    "two flat screen tv's in one in bedroom and one in Lounge room. The same with Air con which was nice as you could leave lounge on low for breakfast in the morning. Rather than have to wait 10 - 15 minutes for it to cool. I was given two key cards and kept one in the key slot to keep the rooms at a low cool temp.
     
    Bathroom as shower with a rain shower above.
     
    LB friendly as I brought two back on my first night and one back each night after that for the five nights I stayed there.
     
    Location. Well it's pretty far from Nana to walk but 15 mins BTS 37 baht and 70 to 80 baht coming back in a taxi

    Like OTS, you can get ED drugs at Foodland or just about any other pharmacy in BKK without a prescription. Just ask for what you want.  FWIW, the pharmacies closest to the P4P action like the kiosk directly across from NEP seem to charge more for the convenience they offer, so you may want to keep that in mind when choosing a place to buy. 
    You can also get Kamagra and some other ED medications from the Indian street stalls in a pinch. Some guys don't trust the stalls, but I have bought single gel pacs from them in the past with no issues. Just read and verify the expiration date on the gel pac before you hand over any money.

    I got a voucher from KLM back in March 2020, I used it earlier this year to book an October trip which I then cancelled and they refunded the money this time, had the cash back in my account within about 5 days.

    Just got off the phone with KLM and all vouchers issued from March 3rd 2020 are extended to 31st December 2021. As mine was the 4th March I’ve made it by one day  
    Here’s hoping Thailand is back open for tourists without quarantine by then.

    Yes if and when we can all travel we need to watch the flight prices.
    On the one hand, they could go sky high ( see what I did there) as airlines try and get some money back, or they could do some deals to get people back to travelling.
    Same goes for hotel prices and travel insurance.

    Yeah I was thinking the same about having to top it up if the prices go sky high or I may use it for a multi trip around Europe in September when my niece gets married as she lives and works in Ibiza. I looked at a trip Manchester-Amsterdam-Madrid-Ibiza-Amsterdam-Manchester £425 and use the remainder for upgrades for leg room

    I got budget for a very  good 2 weeks short blast of a balls-out trip and yes having a flight already paid for is good. (unless the prices go up that much and I have to top it up)
