Sheraton Bangkok

... 7 when my parents took me out of school from December to mid-January (~7 weeks). Except this time...I backpacked. No five star Sheraton Hotels. But it did come to a total of 12 flights and numerous boat/bus rides. I've been asked by various friends ...

... room and see what happens the next day. So we stormed out the room and went uptown to see if we could meet Natasha at the Sheraton Bangkok. Natasha is an old colleague of Blondy, whom she worked with and met about 4 years ago as we arrived in Spain. The ...

... realized it showed up AFTER room service (who are sneaky ninjas) put it there. This is a great hotel. And it was about the same price as Benyada Lodge and a bajillion times nicer. IF you wanna stay in Bangkok in style, stay at Royal Orchid ...

... a little late but they were drinking in the lobby waiting patiently. We sat down and joined them and had $10 beers. The Sheraton has Malaysian drink prices, it seems. They told us all about their awesome diving trip to the Similan Islands, which is ...

... after us and we set off to one of the Thai Islands - Ko Tao. Phil cracked out a sparkling white towel he'd sneaked out of The Sheraton....a nice souvenir and I'm sure it'll make a lovely beach towel too. Another 12 hour journey....bring it ...

... in Bangkok underslept, Leanne sick.  Took a taxi to another incredible hotel (THANKS AGAIN DAVE!!!), the Royal Orchid Sheraton: twin pianos in the lobby, a Chinese dulcimer being played, a beautiful view of Bangkok's not-so-beautiful river. ...

... near Silom, things are just fine (although evidently a little scary at the time). That said, Silom is a little quiet, so we stayed in the Sukhumvit area (always a hotbed of activity). The Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit is overrated but a good deal on ...

... air quality. Smoke filled air and haze. We have been sneezing and wheezing since we arrived. We checked into the Sheraton Royal Orchid and was surrounded in Thai hospitality. Our room overlooks the River and were mesmerized watching the boats go ...

... perfect for hotel stays - well, at least one. So if you're thinking hostel or guesthouse, you'd be wrong. The Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit is lusciously spiffy may I say. Briefly out onto the streets and something is wrong.... I'm not a sexy ...

... in Bangkok but we are here in our room. I've had a nice warm shower in the beautiful air-conditioned Sheraton. We landed in Bangkok at midnight after about 28 hours of flying and waiting in airports. The flights here were OK. From Calgary to San ...

... to the airport, for your flight to Bangkok. Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred via coach to the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers 5-star. Rest of the afternoon is free at leisure. Tonight, enjoy a Thai dinner & Classical dance at a ...

... class was very cramped with little leg room. But we treated ourselves to a special Motorola rate at the Royal Orchid Sheraton (only just more than a trendy NZ backpackers). Suffering from jet lag we spent a hectic day in Bangkok getting everything sorted ...

... We opted into their passenger sedation programme, but with moderation of course.    After checking into our very flash Sheraton hotel which had been booked prior to our departure from NZ while we were still feeling relatively affluent, we were ...

... boat drinks, 90 degree weather, hammocks, lots of foreigners and scooters. In other news my friend Bill had a free night at the Bangkok Sheraton and while in his room I came across and scale and decided to see where Mr. Benji's weight stood after ...

... 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 ...

... Well we have left the rain of Sydney behind & are now living it up in luxury in the 5 star Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel in Bangkok. Very very acceptable indeed.... Have just booked to go on a 3 hour Temple tour this aftermoon & then a Dinner ...

... 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 ...

... seems that the David Jones Department Stores in Australia sell them, so I should be able to obtain the same ingredients. Bangkok has been a great place to end our big trip and wind down in preparation for resuming our nomadic life in ...

... that didnt happen. Though I must say, I can get used to everyone greeting me with a folded hands Namaste here in Bangkok - thats cool. "Here is your triple fudge chocolate sundae with extra artificial cherries, Namaste!" There is a really comprehensive ...
