Priceline Hotel: 5* Bangkok (Sukhumvit) Westin Grande

[neo1]

Start with 5* 9/17 $60 Sukhumvit zone - rejected. Upped to $65 added Riverside - Rejected. Upped to $75 added Silom zone - Accepted. Westin Sukhumvit. Since this is weekend so looks like now the weekend rate is up to $75 also. Looks like it is also not easy to get Shag for $65 on weekend also.

On a second bid for 9/18. Started with $70 5* Suk and was rejected. Priceline counter with $22 increase to gain a second chance but refused. Added Silom zone and upped to $75 - Accepted by Westin again.

-- Hey, LHFlyer how did you get this weekend for $60?? Supposly there is a Jewelry show in Bangkok. I could not get room at most of 4/5 star hotels and ended booking Plaza Atheree for $90 using Orbitz.

Hi neo1,

Actually it was 75 for this weekend. Really too bad the $60 rate seems to be gone, it was one of the last great rates in BKK. IMHO $75 with all the taxes added is quite pricey. Hotel seems very busy, but they never fail to get me a king no smoking room on the SPG floors.
