Thailand and Laos (and Myanmar if I can manage it)
Hello, Sawatdee kaa and Sabai dee,
My next trip will be Thailand and Laos, and this is all about the before, the trip and the after - similar to my Malaysia/Cambodia blog. I am putting together from start to finish - tickets, do's and don'ts, tours, where to stay, places to see, things to do, as well as useful extras like transport, good places to eat, what to wear, climate, tourist traps, tricks and tips and whatever else I can think of that will be useful.
If you have any tips or advice, please, feel free to leave a comment and add your bit - whatever you think may be helpful or interesting.
Cheers.
I just booked my accommodation for my four nights in Bangkok. Yippee! I'm glad to have that out of the way - at least I
know where I'll be. After weighing up the pros and cons, I decided on Bhiman Inn. Below are photos from their website.
Reason for Choice
Firstly, the location. Although the other two were closer to Khao San Road and cheaper, I realised the one located in KSR itself would be very, very noisy. Now I don't mind noise but seeing their check-in time as being 4.00am meant it could possibley be very noisy indeed plus I don't think the rooms would be as nice.
Secondly, appearance and atmosphere. New Siam II was my original choice but seems to lack a certain something in comparison. A friend advised that Bhiman Inn was in a nicer location and on looking at some maps, it's fairly close to the river and the river taxis.
Thirdly they offer a full breakfast and all rooms have a mini bar.

It would probably be adviseable to print a copy of this to show the taxi driver.

I've never been to Bangkok so I'm quite envious of you...you will have a wonderful time. The accommodations look splendid and it always helps to have a bar in the room!
Re your comment about the girl on top of Notre Dame...that is my wife on our 50th anniversary...she was only 68 then! Actually, she did walk up the stairs to the Towers. I did not. I could barely make it to the top of the Arc d'Triompe...
At any rate, with the help of Photoshop, she made it all the way to the roof where she could wave to me standing on the ground! :-)
Sounds like you are having a great time Blossom , enjoy the rest of yout trip.
Thanks will give thr hotel a try next time i'm in bangkok.
