Thailand trip
Am doing a business trip to China which is requiring an overnight in
Bangkok. Any recommendations for good accomodations near the BKK airport??? The Amari looks fine but seems rather extreme in pricing for the quality of service. Comfort Suites no longer seems to appear on the Choice Hotels' website. I was told the Sofitel Central Plaza Bangkok is considered an airport hotel, but is it really that close??? Since I'm arriving at 11:30 p.m., I figure the drive in wouldn't be too bad, but I would think that I would have to leave at around 7:30 a.m. to catch a 10:30 flight.

I was told the Sofitel Central Plaza Bangkok is considered an airport hotel, but is it really that close??? 20 minute taxi ride, depending on traffic. Not really an "airport hotel" but close enough.

Check in at Don Muang isn't as bad as some other airports. I arrive about 90 minutes before a flight (just in case) and usually spend only 10-15 minutes on check in, if that. |

I hope that is not for an international flight , as checking in at least 2 hours prior to takeoff is standard and required on most flights. Required in what sense? The only time I was 2 hours early for a flight I fell asleep in the airport and missed it. miguel -- See the world from your web browser: http://travel.u.nu/ |

Required for something nowadays called International Security , or did you sleep through the last 3 years also. No, but I've taken maybe eighty international flights in the last 3 years and haven't been 2 hours early for a single one - nor did I miss any of them. miguel -- See the world from your web browser: http://travel.u.nu/ |

OK, but the airlines cleary *request* that you check in at least 2 hours before takeoff , or would you like to debate that ? miguel -- See the world from your web browser: http://travel.u.nu/ |

Thailand trip
I stayed at the Amari 3 nights ago. I don't know how much it was - part of a
package. I do know that the hotel is directly connected to the airport arrivals hall. No cab ride (you don't even go outside), 2 minutes walk from arrivals hall to hotel reception and back from hotel reception to check-in the next morning. No extra time allowance for traffic jams. No cab fairs. Fan-bloody-tastic. Pay the dough and do the Amari. "ITRADE" wrote in message . com... Am doing a business trip to China which is requiring an overnight in Bangkok.
