Bangkok hotels

Hi PP

My son has lived and worked in Khon Khaen for last few years, but he may be returning to UK next year, so could be last chance for us to get out there while he still living the life.
I think it will be good to experience a non-tourism orientated area of Thailand.

Spot-on, often the best too.:)

Unfortunately apparently " this property only accomodates guests 18 and over " - we are travelling with 13 yr old.

This probably refers to under 18s who are on their own, not those accompanying their parents.

Hi Nifty & Doshwaster, thanks for latest feedback.

I delayed booking the Bangkok hotel because it was the last 2 nights of holiday, and wanted to get all the flights and other hotels done & dusted first, plus i filled my credit card to limit and cleared it before i started spending again.

Anyway we have dropped reluctantly dropped Chiang Mai from schedule, as there was too much to fit in the time we had..

So : flying from Bangkok to Khon Kaen , booked a very reasonably priced place ( Khon Kaen Orchid Hotel ) but the reviews are very good.
Staying 4 nights there, then flying back to BK, then onto Samui and staying 8 nights at Centara Villas in deluxe ocean view villa with own pool. Then back to BK and staying 2 nights there before flying back to UK.

Just BK hotel to book now, plus some odds and sods relating to train travel over here..

<<edit>> I used my Santander 123 mastercard to book the flights and hotels as there are no foreign transaction charges on it till end of 2016 - but that card will cost me charges for withdrawing cash from ATMs over there, so i am still pondering that question - got knocked back by Halifax for Clarity as i had another credit card from them fairly recently.

I did suggest that you apply for the Creation Everyday card for that very reason.....
