NRT - BKK on UA/NW: How to keep baggage before hotel check-in?
NRT - BKK on UA/NW arrives at around 11PM and after clearing immigration and baggage, should be lucky to get out before 12PM.
I don't want to spend money on hotel for the night, so considering check-in in the morning.
Don't mind spending the rest of the night at bars or clubs but got some large sizes baggages with me. Is there any locker around downtown that I could put large sizes baggages?
Do you think I could ask the hotel to keep my belongings before check-in?

I am wondering whether there is any forwarder at BKK to send the baggage to the hotel. Even if there is one at the airport, is it open 24/7 as it will be very late at night.
Keep my fingers cross on the hotel. Will email hotel today.

Beware that, thanks to Thaksin's moral order crusade, all bars, clubs and restaurants in Bangkok close by 2 AM. Naturally there are some illegal afterhours clubs and the like, but they're pretty dodgy. Incredible, isn't it, that these days you have to go to formerly straight-laced Singapore to party all night
I second the advice to get some cheap hotel for the night.
