My first stay with AirBnb is on Jan 2015. So far heard a lot of good reviews

comparison to staying in hotel with room services to tidy up the room which is better?

Mid valley rates have been hopeless for quite some time, if possible don't change over there. Still wonder why the long queue
*
but their rate is still better than most places I think .. cause I always compare a lot of places before I change unsure.gif sometimes I observe for months LOL

must try
Pier 21 @ Terminal 21 - Pad thai is cheap and good (30b aht)
After You - honey shibuya toast is fricking good but exp. (170 baht)
coconut ice cream @ chatuchak - normally cost 30 baht for one cup with a free coconut drink. Add barley as toppings, heavenly.
Kaiton Pratunam - same row as Platinum Mall, the oil used in the rice makes this different from the rest of the pack
grilled pork at any street - cost around 10 baht usually and taste very good

worth skipping
Som Tam Nua @ Siam Square - overpriced and nothing special.
Sukhumvit Soi 38 - touristy place, prices for food above average and nothing really special. Hawkers there can speak english tho, rather try normal street food at other sois around that area. (tip: dont even bother to try the pork rice)
Number One Brand thai tea - teh tarik is def better

don't even bother to try
Asiatique food court - Pad thai is rubbish and expensive, rest of the food court too.

will keep you updated if I remember any more.
*
Asiatique's Banana Pancake is rubbish too

is there any facility to shower and change in Don Muang airport? Will be arriving early morning and have a late night flight out on the same day. Am planning to book a van (5 pax) with driver to go visit bangkok city then head back in evening for late night flight to Japan.

Or is there any hotels that rent by hour? just need a place to shower, freshen up for the midnight flight.
*
I dont think I see any shower room at Don Muang hmm.gif

If there is 5 of you, why not you just get a van service to nearby Platinum Mall area and get a hotel to check in a cheap one so all of you can bath and those who want to rest can rest at the hotel? The rest can walk around Pratunam and Platinum mall then.. Or just try to contact some hotel asking them if they have Day rental service? hmm.gif
