When we return to bangkok to go home on the 3rd June. Yes we don't come home until the 3rd June we go on Friday and we don't come home until the 3rd june ..............bloody hell! it has just hit me

Anyway I digress. we fly from samui to BKK on the 1st June around mid-day. Funds permitting we are looking for a good hotel open to where as we have stayed all over the city that will give us the best deal on a late checkout on the 2nd. we don't have to leave for the airport until around 8.30 pm.

If you don't knw about late check out can you reccommend a hotel. dont want stupid o prices but would pay around 6 - 7, 000 baht.

Mind you having said all that we may be so broke on the way back that we are looking at 600 baht. LOL

I don't fancy being roomless from lunch time on the 2nd before such a long flight.

I also would like to have the late check out sewn up before we actually book in as otherwise it is a worry.

2 sleeps to go few friends coming round tonight has turned into a party for around 25. Have ended up catering etc. That is after a day of being waxed and bleached.............

I always stay at the Indra Regent in Pratunum, its around 2100 bht per night and I pay about 950 to 1000 for late checkout.

We usually get the flight departing BKK to Perth Australia at 2330,1130 pm so dont leave the room til 8-830.

The night markets are just starting outside the hotel around 5 so you can do a last min shop for some snydes or whatever for the people you have forgotten to buy for and plenty of taxi meters outside for the airport.

Not a fantastic hotel but great location and they always have rooms for late check out as people are comming and going from Phuket on stopovers on package hols.

snydes????

I'm still trying to work out what Fishtaco meant by in the paradise close to BKK thread!

At the end or start of saikaow beach where saikaow beach resort is there is a rocky outcrop,"natural groin"! This is Pinapple/bannana beach where the small cheap huts used to be right on the beach in the days of no aircon or fans as the electric only run for 4 hours at night from the generators,the only light at night was fairy lights (festoons of clear christmas tree type lights) I think powered from car batteries?
I remember seeing the iluminated coral spawn rolling on the beach at night as if it was a million fire flies! This was a first and only for me Impossible to see now as the beach is too lit up from the beach bars

"Paradise close to BKK" it was and still is to me!

Den.
