Bangkok hotel re-opening dates list updated daily.

Bangkok is now back to normal with all roads, hotels, shops and attractions operating as normal. I am leaving the previous updates below as a record of events.

Following the departure of UDD protesters in central Bangkok, the city is now in cleanup mode. A city-wide curfew remains until Sunday night. Hotels that were forced to close are cleaning up and preparing for re-opening, with most set to re-open Monday the 24th or Wednesday the 26th. This morning I have updated Bangkok hotel re-openings for the Ratchadamri and Siam areas which were the most severely affected areas, and will update the others later today.

Updated MapA full, annotated zoom-able Google map of the Bangkok protests is available here. The map is still online and marked with the danger spots at the peak of the unrest, however Bangkok is now back to normal and totally safe for visitors and residents alike.

I am calling many of the hotels in the affected areas every today to check whether they are open and when they are re-opening. I will list all hotel closures and re-opening dates here. Below is the list of their current status as of today. Check back daily as I will be updating this list of Bangkok hotel closures everyday until the situation is back to normal.

I try to keep this blog focused on Thai hotels that I have stayed at so I can give people an idea of some of the great places you can find in Thailand.
However I also find that there are other things about Thailand that I want to blog about and let people know about that don’t necessarily fit in with the scope of this blog.

SPECIAL TOURS FOR TRANSFER PASSENGERS AT SUVARNABHUMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Transfer passengers at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport making a stopover of 12 hours or less will soon be able to take short “appetiser” tours of the Thai capital and its environs in order to whet their appetites to return later for “main course” tours.

To be inaugurated on 1 June, 2009 by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Chairman Mr. Weerasak Kowsurat, the “Package Tour for Transfer Passengers” project is being organised by TAT together with the Association of Thai Travel Agents, Airports of Thailand, Ministry of Transport, Immigration Department and Thai Airways International. It will be effective until 31 May, 2011.

The facility will allow thousands of daily air passengers with time to spare between connecting flights to take a wide variety of tours in Bangkok and surrounding areas. As an incentive to take the tours, they will not be required to pay the 500-Baht airport tax, upon re-checking in for their onward flights.

Agoda's Best price guarantee

Agoda, one of the biggest names in online hotel reservations has consistently offered some of the lowest rates to be found online for hotels and resorts not only in Thailand and around Asia, but also for all other regions of the world as well.

Their Agoda Rewards system, which awards points worth between 4 and 7% of each booking, allows for even greater discounts on their already famously low prices. Their new Best Price Guarantee raises the bar again and practically cements them as the first choice for online hotel reservations.

The basic details of the guarantee are as follows. After booking a hotel room through Agoda, if you find the same room for the same dates at a cheaper price on another website that is viewable and available, within 48 hours of booking your room, let Agoda know and they will match the rate or beat it.

Check out the Agoda website for more details of their Best Price Guarantee and to check out their low rates for your self.
