Well -I have tried to send a PM to several of you, but they never seem to go thru - so must post this in the Forum Thread. Thank you in advance for the help.

We will be in Bangkok May of 2012, and will need to find a Hotel near Bangkok's old Airport (Don Mueng), in order to catch a flight to Phitsanoluk the next day. Where would you recommend a family to stay for the night? How would we get there?

Thank you,

Don't waste a lot of time worrying about a hotel near this airport. Don Muang is totally flooded and may or may not even open! Flights are now out of Suvarnabhumi. Even if it was open a meter taxi from a hotel in another area of Bangkok is not that expensive for a whole car load of people. In other areas of Bangkok you have more to do around your hotel - like Pratunam or Sukhumvit Road area.

What is the rush to get out of Bangkok anyway? A couple days in the city and a day or two at the end of your holiday usually works out pretty good for many tourists. Consider alternate transportation such as the train from Hualamphong.

Sent PM to you 2 days ago. Are you set up to receive messages?

In May Don Muang will be cleaned up. Try We train, google for it, affordable and close by.
