Cheap websites to book a hotel room in Bangkok?
Has anyone picked up any bargins in the last few weeks? I will be there for a couple of nights at the end of March.
What hotel would you reccomend? And which wesbites are the cheapest?
Would like to be in the Skhumvit area (bad spelling in know)
Thanks

Best deal in Sukhumvit area is One Bedroom Tulip Suite $64 a Night . Or $3 extra for higher floor Carnation Suite. ^

I got a room at the Baiyoke Sky for 79USD in mid-december 2004. Probably not the best of deals since the location of the hotel is not quite central, however the view from the Sky Zone of the hotel is spectacular and I was upgraded to a "junior executive" suite, no questions asked, from an internet fare!

Breakfast from the 84th floor makes then 10 min walk to the Sky Train quite worthwhile.

Anyone stayed at the J W Marriot? If so how much did you pay for it? I have heard that you can pick it up for $75 a night but can't seem to get that price from any websites?

I like this service:

But for dirt-cheap prices (like $75 for JW), you usually have to Priceline or have connections to juicy corporate rates.

Thanks

I often stay at the Manhattan, just about $20 incl. breakfast and just a 3 min. walk to the Skytrain
You can use use Precision for other hotels of course, depends on your budget

hello.
i visited bangkok and koh samui last year - made all hotel reservations via www.asiatravel.com. they had great rates, good customer service (via email), and use vouchers.
stayed on the amari boulevard hotel near soi 5 on sukhumvit road. great location, with access to sky train. ask for a room in the new tower (i forgot the name).
excellent breakfast included in room rate.

$75 was the actual bid - so total is $75 + fees.
If you're worried about not getting it, I'd just be safe and go for $80. You may also get the Westin Grande Sukhumvit, but all 3 sukhumvit 5-star hotels are absolutely exceptional so there's nothing to worry about there. If you don't mind possibly staying riverside instead, you can also add that zone if your first bid is rejected. The 5-stars there are also wonderful (but usually more expensive, so its unlikely you'll get it anyway - it just gets you another bid without waiting).
