Im going in November too, but luckily I booked tickets back in April. I also made some good deals lately on Adelphi suites in Soi 8 so to me it looks like hotel prices are abit down atm. Im guessing this is due to the dynamic prices witch will mean lower demand then normal. I stayed there several times and this is lowest prices Ive paied. In Patts it looks like the opposite situation.

Not sure this is a "seasonal fare" you're dealing with. Thanks to wars in Iran and Russia/Ukraine, jet fuel supplies are way down and fares are way up. You can thank Putin and Trump for this.

Looking at fares for my November trip. Bloody Hell! Brisbane to BKK return. Anywhere between $1400 and $2000. Crazy stuff!. A year or so ago , that would have got you to London. I guess the only option is to build a raft and paddle. On the other hand, accommodation seems to be ok. Still some good deals around Have booked Citi Chic in Soi 13. Freshly renovated and looking good.

I just booked again myself for the Xmas period. When I checked last week it was around 4500b a night, so when it was sitting at 3000b yesterday, there was no hesitation in pulling the trigger. 
  I used to really like citrus when it first opened, but for the price they want, there are much better options. 

Thanks for the review. I decided to give them a try in October, so canceled my Citrus Suites Soi 6 reservation. There are a few things I don't like about Citrus Suites (lame pool, weak restaurant), and I really like the Soi 11 neighborhood vibe a lot more than Soi 4. Got myself upgraded to one of their pool view rooms.
