This room was $70 / night because I booked my flight through Orbitz and got points for that. Also I got upgraded to have a corner room for no real reason which was a plus. My flight was only $675 round trip from Chicago.
Once I'm here for a bit I should have the lay of the land figured out and find even better deals.

That looks really nice. $70 a night is pretty expensive in my book for BKK, but the facilities and location play a big part. Looks very nice though!
There would certainly be cheaper places but the pool is pretty solid here and there is breakfast included and free shuttle service to the trainline... etc. This is more of a place that a couple people could be at.

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.

Pick up some chicks for me while you're there haha
Maybe.... Hahhah. The good thing is I had been hanging out with the only hot chick in Indianapolis before I left so I'm sort of at peace and don't have to show up here like a raging bull. lol.
Asian chicks love tall white men, you don’t even need to have game. Just say Hi and I’m from the USA... it’s in the bag 😂

Hahahah, I'm up for a challenge so we will see how I do with European chicks at the beach. Hahha. At least at the beginning I'm just in chill mode but I'm actually going to be doing quite a bit of work on content creation. Probably more than I have been in awhile because I will have so much good stuff to take video of here and pictures. Too bad the payouts are so low on everything these days. But the hustle never stops!
