Going to Bangkok, What to do/eat?


I-LOVE-CARS

Recommended Posts

if driving to Thai and want to find a hotel in BKK for a stopover that is:

 

1) outside main city center (hopefully less traffic)

2) secure parking, preferably covered

3) walkable distance to BTS (or MRT also can)

 

and ideally room rate below SGD120/night (since its outside city center)

 

any recommendations for specific hotels or general location?

or is this asking for too much? LOL

 

I briefly  looked in Agoda but there're too many to  check in detail.

If just for stopover, why don't you stay in Cha'am, not too far from Bangkok. Plenty of affordable hotels along the stretch of beach.

yep good point but I need to settle some stuff in BKK for a few days. Otherwise i'd never drive into BKK.

 

plan to drive in, park  for a few days, use public transport as needed, then drive off when i'm done.

Sorry, cant help on hotels on the outskirts of BKK. So far, all my visits, only stayed in hotels within BKK.

Google - “On Nut Station hotels” you find many and cheap almost all hotels in Bangkok has car parking. This location meets all your 3 requirements.

 

Good luck have a safe trip.

Is Grab commonly used in Bangkok?

 

 

yes, please do.

 

I rather take grab than taking their taxi.

 

choose cash payment and leave some tips cos the fare is very very low.
