My wife and I just did this trip AMS - BKK for the first time, I understand it is a little late for you PatSharp (good in the Jungle BTW), but for others that feel the caution we did as ex EU virgins we flew the night before and stayed at the AMS Hilton. Not air side but a 5-10 minute walk and you take the trolley right up to the hotel. The hotel is satisfactory, if we do it again I would book the Sheraton slightly closer and better rated.
