I stayed in Bangkok for two days. I spent a long time looking for a hotel before I came. I didn't expect that my choice would really give me a big surprise.
I will give you a detailed introduction of this hotel, hoping to surprise more people.
Advantages:
1. This hotel just opened this year. The rooms in the hotel are also newly decorated. The decoration style is not very trendy but also in line with modern aesthetics. And although this hotel is newly opened, there is no smell of decoration in the room.
Toothpaste and toothbrush are free, and the two bottles of water with the hotel logo in the room are also free.
2. This hotel is located in the old city of Bangkok (personal feeling), because the downstairs and the surrounding areas are where locals live, and the surrounding consumption prices are cheaper than scenic spots and Chinatown.
And the hotel is 600 meters away from the left rear of the hotel in a straight line. It is the Brilliant Market, and the Brilliant Night Market at night. The fruit here is really cost-effective during the day, and the consumption at night is not expensive.
3. The owner of the hotel is an overseas Chinese uncle (from Chaoshan), who is usually in the hotel during the day. He can communicate in Chinese. If you need help, you can ask the front desk to contact him.
The ladies at the front desk can speak simple Chinese, such as deposit (1000 baht deposit for 1 room), cleaning, etc. We can communicate with them. And there is a guy at the front desk who can communicate fluently in Chinese (he worked at night when I lived there)
4. Smoking is not allowed in the hotel rooms, and a fine of 5000 baht will be imposed for smoking in the room. But... the next point is the key point, smokers should remember it.
There is a small balcony in each room, and the hotel has placed an ashtray on this small balcony, understand! (Although the balcony is a bit small, it's okay, no need to run upstairs and downstairs)
This hotel allows you to smoke on the balcony of the room, you just need to walk to the balcony and close the balcony door, you can smoke as you like, and then go back in after smoking.
(So, I really don't understand where the bad review of being fined 5000 for smoking came from?)
Next, let's talk about the shortcomings:
1. The hotel does not have breakfast... But when I chatted with the boss, the boss recommended me a good place. (I got up late, so I didn't go, but the other 5 people in my family went and said it was delicious)
There is a 7-11 convenience store in front of the right side of the hotel (there is a zebra crossing in front of the convenience store, so don't cross the road casually). This convenience store is very close, and there is a snack restaurant right next to the convenience store. The owner of his noodle restaurant said it is a time-honored brand and it is delicious.
2. There is no doorbell in the room. If you are watching TV or watching videos in the room (with the volume turned up high) or going to the toilet, you can't hear the knocks on the door from outside.
3. We booked 4 rooms. On the first night of our stay, the water heaters in two rooms tripped. When I was taking a shower, I thought there was no hot water today. Later, another room also said there was no hot water. The other rooms said there was hot water, so I found the problem.
Solution: If there is no hot water, check whether the water heater knob is on. If it is on, turn it to the right (usually halfway, the Chinese-speaking guy told me that if it is turned to the far right, it may trip.) If the light on the knob is not on, then congratulations, you have tripped. Dial 0 from the landline and let the front desk handle it.
4. Don't stay in a street-facing room x3 (Important things should be said three times). I have already requested not to stay in a street-facing room, but only three of the four rooms I booked were not facing the street, and the room was full, so I had to accept the street-facing room.
People with mental weakness should not stay in this street-facing room. If it is an ordinary vehicle, it is okay, but occasionally there will be motorcycles or private cars with modified exhaust passing by, and they will throttle hard in the middle of the night, and the taste is so sour (thump thump thump thump, da da da da da da)
Finally, some suggestions for friends who have been to Thailand or are planning to go to Thailand:
1. Unlimited data phone cards should be purchased online in China in advance, and TB has them. An 8-day card is only more than 30, and a conversion plug is also given.
It seems that buying an 8-day 15G data card at the airport is close to 100 yuan.
2. Please use Google maps for navigation. The navigation order here is Google > Gaode (the target positioning is wrong, it is easy to go the wrong way) > Baidu (this thing is not useful at all)
3. You must use Grab for travel. If you can use Didi, you can use this thing. You only need to register with the phone card number you bought. The default payment method is cash.
Thailand’s taxis are very bad. Don’t take them if you can avoid it. They never use meters. If you meet one out of ten drivers who uses meters, you are lucky (you take the initiative to ask for it). Others will not take you if they hear you say you want to use the meter (if you speak Chinese, they will rip you off)
Hope this can help everyone!
