    FYI Tai-Pan Hotel, Sukhumvit, Bangkok






    The Tai Pan Hotel is distinctly recognisable from Sukhumvit Road at Asoke.
    Built in the 1970s it’s one of the Vietnam War Era Hotels that sprang up in Bangkok during those heady times.




    Just off Sukhumvit Road on Soi 23 it’s within easy walking distance of Soi Cowboy, Terminal 21 and Robinson Department Store.
    Nowadays newer skyscrapers tower above it but it still has a presence in the small soi it now dominates.




    Inside the Hotel a reception lobby greets you.
    The first thing I noticed about the hotel reception is that it’s wheelchair-friendly. As to the left of the polished tiled steps a carpeted-ramp leads you down.
    The reception folk are cordial but polite.
    Free WiFi is available in all the Hotel according to the staff.




    Two lifts run up and down the sixteen floors.




    The standard room we saw was clean, presentable. The bathroom was a somewhat small, the bed soft but lacking in firmness. A passable window view of the nearby skyscrapers was ok.
    Fridge with minibar plus TV is what you get. Plus Aircon of course (non-remote).
    A safety deposit box is in a wardrobe should you wish to use it.




    Outside the Hotel several massage shops face the entrance ramp.
    If you are single and male you will be hearing their song calling out to you.

    Prices

    Superior 2,700
    Deluxe 3,300
    Executive 3,800
    Spa Room 3,800
    Suite 8,000
    Tai-Pan Suite 15,000

    The hardest bed I ever slept in... I like the hotel, but their prices aren't in line anymore... decent breakfast and awesome location.

    I have been there a few times. Good location, guest friendly... a little old-fashioned but well manteined.
    About the price i always found the superior room at 1500-1600 baht on various website.

    I've stayed in the delux and suite room, never the TaiPan suite, but the beds have always been the same.
