Experience of the stay
Arriving in Bangkok at night and having plans early the next morning, I chose this accommodation for one night due to the price. It's right next to Silom MRT station, making it an excellent location even with a suitcase.
Previously, there was a Burger King on the first floor, which made it easy to find, but it has since moved. The room had no window, but it was appropriately spacious and clean.
Since there is a nightclub right next door, I was concerned about noise if there were windows, especially late at night. However, it might have been due to it being a weekday, but the low-frequency sounds were just about noticeable, and perhaps due to my travel fatigue, I had no trouble falling asleep.
However, even when I turned the lever to max on the hot water side for the shower, it only reached a lukewarm temperature. It was just right when I turned off the air conditioning while taking a shower.
Additionally, the room had a setup where all power went off when going out, making it difficult to charge my devices, as there were no active outlets when I left. Many hotels usually leave at least one circuit active for this purpose.
Furthermore, there were no outlets by the bedside; they were located under the table next to the bed, making them a bit inconvenient to use.
Despite these issues, staying in Silom at this price was a great deal. I would recommend this accommodation for those who prioritize price.
Experiences during the trip
I visited the Botanical Center in Bang Yai. The plant market is open on Wednesdays and Thursdays at Chatuchak, which is famous for its weekend market, but the one in Bang Yai is open every day, allowing me to visit without worrying about the day of the week. However, it takes longer to reach Bang Yai compared to Chatuchak. Chatuchak has plants displayed within a manageable range (though some stores have tropical plants taller than an adult), while Bang Yai mainly has permanent shops, so it was well-decorated and felt like a botanical garden, which made it fun just to look around.
Additionally, there is an IKEA nearby, which I also checked out. While the selection doesn't significantly differ from IKEA in Japan, this store is quite large and impressive.
