Early Morning Check-In's - Bangkok Hotels ?

Have a bit of a dilemma.

Flight into BKK arrives at midnight

(Emirates from Hong Kong) and I now have to book a hotel for my 3 night stint in Bangkok, prior to heading South to Krabi

. Of course the first night is really just a sleep over as check-in will be round about 02:30.

I had promised myself one of Bangkok's luxury hotels but now that I am, in effect, missing out on a day (only got 2 full days, 3 nights) I am a bit reluctant to fork out a full price for the first night's stay in an expensive hotel

Options as I see them.

1. Book a cheap hotel for the first night and change the following day to luxury abode for two nights. (not sure the Mrs will appreciate this option)

2. Book a cheaper hotel for the 3 nights

3. Bite the bullet and book 3 nights in luxury hotel.

4. Change itinerary. 1 night BKK airport hotel, fly to Krabi following day and keep remaining 2 nights in Bangkok for end of holiday.

Anyone had a similar problem in Bangkok and have a possible solution ?

Thanks in advance

We stick Bangkok on the end of holidays to Thailand any way...find its the best way to do it. You are well rested and ready to face Bangkok and it makes the journey back to UK shorter...no transiting of airports or long transfers to board your international flight.

You could check into one of the day rooms for a few hours kip on arrival in Bangkok before taking earliest flights to Krabi.

Agree with Sunbear - get a room near the airport. First flight out is at 08.00 on Thai to Krabi.

I never considered an airport dayroom option, thanks. Will look into that.
