First night at Bangkok - Feb 22 2015
We made the trip to Bangkok after the 2015 CNY holidays at the advice of a travel agent who informed us that the best time for holidays is after the CNY.
However he did not tell us that it was super hot in Bangkok! My cousin had already warned me about the heat when we met up during CNY. We came prepared with hats and sunblock lotion but were taken aback by the sheer heat and the humidity.
We arrived late at night at Don Muang airport in Bangkok and was a little confused about where to take the taxi until we saw lines of people waiting for taxis. We also thanked God that we met people who could speak English at the airport.
There were at least 6 to 8 lines of people just waiting to get a taxi ticket. Unlike KLIA 2, the taxi queue was really long with many foreigners.
Our taxi driver got lost taking us to the Hotel. He had to ask some people before he managed to get us to the right place.
Glow Trinity Hotel is a 3-star hotel but really has all the amenities of a 4-star hotel. This hotel is also centrally located with the MRT just a few minutes walk away. There are shopping complexes nearby and also a morning market and many stalls selling food.
The hotel people upgraded us to a bigger room with a queen bed and a single bed.
The attendants were casually dressed and friendly. Tim even asked the guy who took our bags up how much to tip him. He said 20 or 40 baht.
The room was spacious with nice wall sofas, big TV (video films can be rented to watch), a coffee-tea bar, free mineral water daily, clean bathroom and nice soft beds with ample supply of pillows and downy comforters.
