Funny, of all things, underwear would probably be the lightest items of clothing...

And probably the easiest to wash and dry daily if need be. And if you are ok with going commando, why would you need to bring one at all lol

True. Being a Scot, then National Dress decrees going Commando anyway. I got the impression, it was to stop the leeches gaining entry!

I would recommend Pulman G have stayed there 26 days this trip.  Joiner friendly although you have to buy third breakfast.  Rooms are older but comfortable and an easy 10 minute walk to soi 4

Currently staying at new Voco Surawong. Superb breakfast spread. Everything is new. Room size can't be helped because fixed size from previous hotel Tawana Hotel. Cheaper than Le Meridien. Splendid location.

I'm not sure which part of that could be for @vinapu benefit.....

What are the rates?

Thanks for all the good recommendations! Nice to see some familiar names alongside new ones! 

@vinapu it's been more than six years since our drink together. 

 

Regarding hotels, I narrowed it down to four options: 

1. So/ - A very tempting deal for an incredible suite. But, location wise it's a bit on the further side. 

2. Voco - a new refreshing addition. My hesitation is that the price is not that much cheaper than the meridian so maybe go spend a bit more and enjoy my favorite Silom hotel. 

3. Le meridien - my favorite location. 

4. The quarter - The best location. Not sure I wanna stay in 27 sqm for 5 nights. 

I've made 4 different reservations and decide a couple of days before. Probably will choose le Meridien. Thanks for all the nee info!! 

I've just discovered that my travel dates are during CNY. I do hope that does not mean too much people. 

Thanks again! Feel free to add any useful fresh ideas.

Also looking for info regarding upscale gyms with cruisy lockeroom/sauna.
