Noodle #1 left his phone on the plane and thought all was lost:( Noodle #2 & 3 rallied and got the phone back and Noodle #1 was happy again. After a long day Noodles are back in their hotel after a late lunch with a awesome view of the river.

Bangkok is my favorite big city in Asia. The food is fantastic, lots of public transportation options (from river boats to a new subway), great nightlife, good shopping and lots of things to do. By many measures Bangkok is a thriving, modern city with ******************ers and high-rise condos creating an impressive skyline. The streets of the city are packed with cars, scooters, and tuk-tuks while the sidewalks are teeming with sidewalk vendors and carts offering tasty hot food. The hot, hum...

I needed to go through Bangkok again to get some admin things taken care of. I arranged my Vietnam visa, got a plane ticket to Saigon, and mailed home a bunch of cold weather gear I used on the Everest Base Camp trek. I spent a few days in Bangkok doing that stuff and enjoying the hospitality at the Royal Orchid Sheraton as well as the great food around the city. Nothing much else to report for now. Vietnam...here I come!

So I am in back in Bangkok after spending 7 weeks in India. It was a great trip and I was sorry to leave India which is something you wouldn't have caught me saying a mere 4 weeks ago. Its rather shocking being back in Bangkok with all its modernity, sleeze etc but I am adjusting. Next I am off to the islands on the Andaman Coast down south which means oh about 3 weeks of doing nothing but snoozing on the beach, snorkeling, boat drinks, 90 degree weather, hammocks, lots of foreigners and scoo...

Twenty six or so hours is beyond the manufacturers recommendation for application of direct pressure to one's butt. But (not butt), mines's skinnier than most. Something like 10,000 miles from Salt Lake City to Bangkok with a gas stop in Taipae. Seems really far when I realize it took me two years to do that on my motorbike. Lumpy (my neice's nickname - don't ask) and I are jet lagged at the Sheraton Royal Orchid and really glad to hear that we left the day before the snow hit. More to come. ...

Hello everyone.. I know you've all been waiting with baited breath to read my first travel log..well here you are..no more waiting required...enjoy... Well, we arrived in a very very hot and smelly Bangkok at about 4 pm on Sunday 18th. The Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel is very nice (especially compared with some of the shacks outside) and the serving staff are so efficient and courteous..am loving the royalty treatment. I won't bore you all with the day by day itinery, but no surprise..i've bee...

.... So yea, this first update was meant to come to you live from Ho Chi Minh City but due to some slight visa trouble- Harri didn't notice till we were at the check in desk of terminal 3 that her vietnam visa was issued for and expired last month we;ve had to make some slight adjustments!!! Having spoken to the Vietnamese embassy in the USA- which was the only Vietnamese embassy we could think of that was open at 9pm GMT and were advised to fly the first leg of our journey to Thailand and in...

So yea. after getting up at the crack of crack to get harri's passport to the vietnamese visa office on time, we were pleasantly surprised to find we actually had some free time! So off we went, tourist map in hand onto one of the helpfully marked and not overpriced tourist boats (20 baht pp) which goes up and down the river pointing out sites of interest and letting people get on/off at the most useful piers. One interesting thing to note is that although you may get the feeling the water in...

Tower Suites well worth the extra cash
Upon arrival we were offered an upgrade to a tower room, not free but reasonably priced considering we had booked room only, this included a top floor room with a great river view,a good breakfast which was served in a lovely lounge, free laundry and use of the tower lounge with complementary drinks between 6 and 7, always a plus!
The rooms are very nice with large comfortable beds, room service was good but needed a reminder to get it on time. We tried the Italian restaurant on our last night, the food was very nice and service excellent but it was quiet, so no atmosphere.
The hotel is connected to the River City shopping centre which has some nice antique shops which are a bit pricey and a selection of restaurants, none of which are that special. A river taxi will take you across to the Yok Yor restaurant, we tried this but the service was terrible although the food was ok.
To get around the city the river taxi's and the metered taxi's are the best option. The skytrain is ok but with a limited service if you're near the river.
All in all a very good hotel in a nice location with good service.
many thanks
An Excellent Choice - No complaints.
We actually made some time to visit other top hotels in bangkok and i think that by comparison the RO Sheraton is actually more pleasant.
Any visits to Bangkok in the future and i have no hesitation about where i will be staying!!!
Great location, views
Although there is a free shuttle to the skytrain station, during rush hours it is faster to hop the water bus to the skytrain station (otherwise you're stuck in traffic for quite a while).
If you go next door to the Art & Antique Mall (which has some spectacular stuff), you can catch free water shuttles to The Peninsula or The Oriental Hotel and a few other places. This info doesn't seem to be widely advertised, however.
There are several restaurants on site. One has a cultural show with a Thai buffet each night.
The hotel will provide pickup service from the airport, but it's over twice what you'll pay for a meter taxi. Don't stop for the guys asking if you want a taxi before you leave the airport secured area...go out and get a metered taxi off the curb, it'll be cheaper.
The Royal Orchid is lovely. I'd gladly stay there again.
Very Average - but good view from room
After spending 3 days at the Landmark Hotel this hotel turned out to be a disappointment. Although the view of the river from the room was terrific.
Given this country is the 'Land of Smiles' the staff were not very friendly, attentive and in the restaurant we had to wait to be served and the tables at times were not cleared.
The menu was limited and not varied at all.
On the plus side the hotel was clean but the room in which we stayed needed an upgrade of the bathroom.
The Garden Pool was nice but the water was extremeley cold and the jacuzzi was colder still!!
The location (although next to the river) is not very good for visiting around Bangkok.
If you go to Bangkok stay at the Landmark Hotel - far superior !!!
Nice central place
Superb hotel - good room (with views!), great location, great amenities
Wonderful hotel, great location
I had actually booked a standard riverview room through an internet third-party website, and by the time we checked into the hotel it was overbooked. Thus, we were immediately upgraded to the Tower suites, top floor. Although we weren't allowed to use the other Tower suites perks, we still enjoyed their wonderful room.
The room on the 28th floor was fantastic, very spacious and clean with a good king sized bed. The view was pretty much from floor to ceiling. Washrooms were very clean and modern, and rooms included a minibar, bathrobes and cable tv. Service was excellent as well, and buffet breakfast was standard with lots of fruits and a mix of hot and cold selections.
Location of the hotel is very good as well. It is right next to a water boat (bus) station, which you can easily ride up to the grand palace or wat po. You can also take a free hotel shuttle to the nearest Skytrain station, although the shuttles don't run that frequently.
Overall, my wife & I truly enjoyed the Royal Orchid and I would definitely stay there again while visiting Bangkok.
Great location, great service, great views
Great hotel
Great Location, with brilliant sevice
The hotel lobby is fairly standard for the style of hotel with lots of wood and very busy. Checkin went smoothly and we where offer an paid for upgrade as we where on a room only rate. it was $40 per room and included breakfast, 6 pieces of Laundary per day per person and free use of the excutive lounge which offered complimentary coffeee and soft drinks all day and a free happy hour from 5.30 to 7.00 pm.
The rooms and facilities are exctulayy what you would expect from any number of 4* hotels but this hote has one feature that makes it stand out the staff are 4 excellent always on hand to help and doing it with a smile.
I would totally recommend this hotel to anyone who wanted a very good location and excellent service the local river boat pier is next door to the hotels and you can be quickly and easily on your way to the wonderful sights of the city.
