Chris26WI Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Well.. one more try.. one more bad luck....

thereuare Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Too bad we couldn't donate unused nites to charities or 'do good' organizations (first idea that comes to mind is donating to a nearby hospital to give to an out of town family member visting someone in the hospital).I would really have to hate a place to eat a reservation... i would sooner take the money saved, do something fun in the area (nice dinner, a few good drinks or a nice bottle of wine, catch a movie or show, etc) and just use the hotel as a bed for the nite.Hope you make the best of it.

headtrip Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Just wondering what you didn't like about the hotel, assuming you have had a past stay there. The trip advisor reviews seemed positive, althrough they were talking about the executive level.I will be making a trip to asia this summer, so I'd appreciate your feedback. (I can relate to some very bad Holiday Inn stays however) Link to comment
southbay Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Tell us Chris, You could not be visiting BKK for just 1 nite, or perhaps as you said in the past you book you book hotel stay first, then your air?Were you just testing the water to so see if you got lucky with the Ramada,( I did have a look at it, in person, and as you said it was OK for the $$ paid. Not 5* but was good value from your last post and wonderful pictures.BTW Thanks for All the digital Photos you have posted, as they say a picture is worth a 1000 words. Link to comment
Chris26WI Posted December 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 @headtrip: check the hotel reviews section for my HI review. Well, it's ok (at Executive level), but it's not great, and I am tired of staying there.@southbay: yeah, just a try-out. I was just checking out, planning to go back to Thailand in end-January, but quite flexible in dates. So I think I will book some hotel conventionally there, will see (will travel mostly around non-PL-Thailand). Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 I will also add that there are photos of this property at RealHotelPhotos.com. :) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
southbay Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 Believe me, I have done the same in the past when prices where lower in BKK 5* properties. Nowadays it is risky unless you fell like shelling out 75++ a night. With terrible devastaion that just occured, you might get a good price in PHUKET or even BKK, but I would wait a few days ,weeks for the consolidators to perhaps lower prices.Anyway thanks fot alll the info Chris and a Happy New Year too all on this Great board..

Chris26WI Posted December 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 ...yeah, though I expect that probably all of the west coast hotels in Phuket will be damaged quite seriously now due to the tsnuami... especially the JW Marriott. Link to comment
