BANGKOK 2014 - Legacy Express

We went ahead with Bangkok despite the still undergoing protest. 2 days before the trip, we heard about this major demonstration that will be held on our last day. After reading up about it, we felt like we would still be quite safe because we are going to Chatuchak area on the last morning. We do see them on walking rally and saw the news but seriously, it wasn't that bad a situation.

Instead of staying near Siam area, we chose Legacy Express because 1) it is near Phloen Chit BTS Station, 2) we will not get stuck in protest at the main city area, and 3) it was so so so reasonably priced.

I thought the location was really good. It is about 3-5 minutes walk to the BTS Station and it totally works for us because we wanted to avoid taking cab and all the haggling situations. There are probably quite a lot of offices around so every morning, there are lots of food stall selling food and drinks to this crowd. The coffee near our hotel is so so so yummy!!! Missing it so much... ...

The room are pretty good but we wished they had more pillow... Not sure if they could provide more if we asked but I wasn't so bothered actually. Other than the fact that boyfriend tried to steal my pillow every night. I am not very very picky so for the price we paid, I felt this was really good. And the most important thing I want to point out is...

THE SERVICE IS DAMN GOOD! The front desk staff are really helpful (with early check in at 11am and check out at 2pm. LOVE THEM!) and the housekeeping staff are quite friendly too. But the most commendable staff is the security who helped to open the door for me almost every time. I think we only opened the door 3 times personally (because they were busy cutting down this tree infront of the hotel).

here's the lobby that we rested and packed our luggages on the last day. woes of late night flight out

rather spacious room I would say

But the thing was, we couldn't figure their free WiFi. I bought their sim card with data plan so boyfriend just tap on mine to use in the end.

Other than that, all is good. And it is really near this cafe that sells awesome sandwiches. In the next post of our day 1 and that awesome cafe!
