I wanted to go back to GLOW Pratunam for this trip, but after browsing Airbnb, aiyah no harm trying, so after confirming with dorabanana, we booked an apartment for our Bangkok trip!
To be really honest, I wasn't completely sure about booking this apartment. Really a bit scared things wouldn't look like the photos provided by the host. But wow, the apartment turned out to be amazing and it looked EXACTLY like the provided photos.
The only downside is, the apartment was quite a distance away from the city centre. 12 BTS stations away from Siam. However, the journey took us less than 30 minutes and the Udom Suk BTS Station was a couple of minutes away from the condominium. So not that bad lah. But don't take taxi from Siam area though, most of the taxi drivers won't go by the meter and they will quote you high prices. We only took taxi home from Siam once and we were quoted 300baht (WHAT?!), but it was already quite late at night so we decided to just go ahead.
A very comfortable studio - just the right size to accommodate two people.
The check-in procedure was very smooth - the host's dad waited for us at the condo lobby and since we bought prepaid SIM cards, we were able to communicate with him through sms. According to the host, if you don't have a SIM card, you can contact him via LINE too!
Almost everything was provided - hairdryer, plates, utensils, cups, cooking oil, travel guide, a lot of toilet paper, towels, DVD player, microwave, toiletries, etc. We only had to buy water and personal toiletries.
The rooftop pool was INSANE. Super gorgeous.
This was the view from our living room.
Also, there was a night food market around our condominium and I found this stall that sold a really strangely delicious curry noodles. It's like a marriage of curry and mee siam. So sourish and shiok!
I'm missing the shiok noodles now. :( Aiyah can't wait to go back to Bangkok again. Till next time!!
