Ok all ...... I bidded on this specific area ( Silom - Riverside ) for the last 4 days ..... I stated bidding down around $40 and worked my way up to my won bid of $48. I just did one bid a day at the 4* level as this is the area and the hotel i wanted. I have stayed at this hotel before and been very pleased with it and the area it is in ,,,,, so i be a happy camper :) Safe travels everyone, Mr Hay Now PS....
