If you’re looking for something a little different for your fine dining needs in Bangkok, you might want to have a look at my review of the Water Library, a very nice independent restaurant in the heart of Bangkok that offers and extensive menu of bottled waters from around the world. There’s also a long list of wines and spirits to choose from as well.

Welcome Back Packages From the Sukhothai

And so it begins: While I’ve received a few "we’re back in business" emails from hotels that were closed during the red-shirt occupation of the Siam area, the Sukhothai seems to be the first out of the gate with special offers designed to lure back travelers. Although the Sukhothai was well away from most of the trouble until the very end, all of Bangkok’s hotels are suffering a severe downturn, so expect more deals to come.

The Sukhothai’s offer is 4,900 Baht ++ for a superior room, 5,900++ for an Executive Deluxe Room and 6,900++ for a Deluxe Suite. All of these rates include breakfast, free Internet access, free mini-bar use and a free one-way airport transfer (for Executive Deluxe and Deluxe Suite only). These rates exclude tax and service charges.

These rates are good for stays until 31 August 2010, although the hotel reserves the right to withdraw the program or change the rates at any time, so you better book now! See the Sukhothai Hotel web site for details.
