There is no reason to book the way overpriced Novotel Bangkok Airport.
I've also stayed at Thong Ta on several occasions, the last of which was about 3 years ago. At that time the morning flight we were taking was 6AM so we never got to partake in the breakfast.
That said it was a fine place for the cost and location.
