right , no

Now you know how the President is down a soi, so is the Sofitel, iirc it was one block back, just into the second block on your right as you walk down. How far, it would be the Grand Sheraton to Times square, took about 15 minutes, maybe less. Like you I imagine we get spoilt with hotels like the Sheraton/Westin/ Hyatt where we walk out, hop on the skytrain and within minutes we are someplace else. Depends the time of year, ah it's December, weather's cool, it will be a pleasant stroll and a lot quicker, regards bkkrop
