It’s a really good deal. The original price must have been much higher. Which street are you at?!

It is Soi Sukhumvit . I haven't tried to take the train into the city yet.

Thanks for your reply! Sukhumvit is very long, we go by the number i.e. Sukhumvit 77, Sukhumvit 39.
From the view, you are probably quite far from the center which is good for you! I guess you are around BTS station, say, On-nut or Thong-Lor.

Suggestion about coming into city center.
On your first trip, get out at Chidlom station, then walk along the skywalk towards Central World mall.
This will give you more space to find your baring.
You’ll walk past a few hotels on both side of the walkway!
For good and cheap fast food, look for Amarin Plaza, the white Roman design building! On the fourth floor, there’s a spacious food court! Here’s a Michelin’s awarded noodle stall which is quite good!

Then you could walk to Siam center and MBK shopping center, about 12 mins walk.

There’s a big festival at the National Museum this weekend! Lots of free traditional entertainment and food stalls! Take the river bus or express boat there, get off at Ta-Chang pier, it’s 8 mins walk there.

Have a nice time in BKK.

Sukhumvit 55 I believe. Thank you so much for the advice! I'm sort of up in the air of what I want to do today because the pool is so nice and tomorrow I fly down to Phuket. I will be back in Bangkok for a couple of days before I leave to go back to the United States so that will be another opportunity to see things.

Oh! Wow! Phuket!! So you’ll be getting your sunburn and eating lots of seafood!
Nice lazy idle life for a change!!

You’ll like the seaside and hot sunshine!!
There are several Steemians in the South of Thailand and a few in Phuket!

Have a whale of a holiday!
Best.

Yeah it will be great down there. Hopefully I don't get too sun burnt. I'm going to get sunscreen right when I get down there! Hahhaha

Hahaha! I wouldn’t have imagined you would be afraid of sunburn!! But it’s wise to be on the safe side! Many years ago I got sun burn fir the first time as a local! The peeling was painful!

Avoid the midday sun though, I believe it is too strong and toxic. Sunscreen lasts only a few hours at best! You’ll soon become honey colour! Beautiful perhaps much sweeter too!?

Stay just full and prosperous.
