Re: Hotel near Suvarnabhumi

I have emailed them, and will see what comes back. Yes, the transfers would be convenient!

Re: Hotel near Suvarnabhumi

Yes, should have specified budget. Agoda is telling me closer to 1,500 for my date. Just want something simple for 600-800 for one night near the airport, Suphan Lake place looks closer to that, unless anyone else has any other suggestions.

Re: Hotel near Suvarnabhumi

Thanks for the suggestions, neither website was working so emailed them for rates. BS Residence is beyond budget if Agoda is anything to go by, don't need anything fancy, just want to get my head down before the morning flight.

Re: Thai Football 2023/24

What are the 3 teams coming up? I stopped following Thai football after Covid locked us all out ... and not being able to get reliable streams on TV (can't stand all the incessant advertising and flash sales in the middle of games on regular Thai TV). Strange season with Prachuap on the bottom for m...

Re: Hotel near Suvarnabhumi

This is an old thread and links above no longer work. Are there any updated recommendations for an inexpensive hotel near the airport for a night? My usual place is a construction site.

I did say before that I wasn't anti-EV ... and didn't want arguments, but there are too many evangelists in this thread, so I'm outta here and back to observation mode ...

Re: Slide fan recommend

Went to Home Pro during the week to look for fans ... got the usual HP story ... "mai mee" for the ones we wanted, only for show. The sales walla said it has been hot so decent fans were "mod laew, no satock." Easier buying online or in Global House.

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

It won’t be double the price in Thailand. Thailand ... triple. :duck: The prices of these things are still too silly for me, even with the "Chinese discount," and way too much tech to go wrong. Thais buy them for show show - a car is a status symbol, a fancy EV is bigger show. I read some...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

"Don't know if it's already been mentioned but another faraway in space series which I remember watching around the same time as Dark Matter was Killjoys." Not sure if this is the one, but judging by the preview, it's not one I'd go for - despite the rating... Oh Pietro <sigh>, you're suc...

Climate change could force Thailand to move its capital

Thailand may have to consider relocating its capital Bangkok because of rising sea levels, a senior official in the country's climate change office said on Wednesday. Projections consistently show that low-lying Bangkok risks being inundated by the ocean before the end of the century. Much of the bu...

Re: Major Economic Issues For Thailand

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

To quote myself, nice try, but "you're not going to convert me". The one you referenced costs nearly triple what our Mitsu Triton did and I'm pretty sure it'll run problem free for at least the next decade (as our previous Mitsu did). If all charging had to be done at stations that would c...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

But in TH, unless actually needing a truck, (2 options coming next year) I think people are crazy if their next new car here is an ICEV. I've followed this debate but haven't contributed and will remain on the fence for now ( we have and need a truck , so you're not going to convert me). Got 3 poss...
