Where to stay in Bangkok

[sgflight]

I am staying at Courtyard Marriott near Platinum mall from Nov19th. Let me know if anyone is in town. Hopefully the riots will simmer down by then ... I arranged for hotel return limo for Thb3000

What riots ?.

What riots ?.

Riots is a bit of an overstatement. There are protests about the proposed amnesty bill that would allow a certain brother of the current Prime Minister to return. So there are people out protesting about it. But at the moment not causing disruption to the main touristy areas.

However now the red shirts are planning pro amnesty bill protests as well and there are concerns that the two groups will clash

Here we go again.

A bit ?.

I am aware of the protests but there have been no riots at all so far. I suggest sgflight lets them actually start rioting before accusing them of it. I am sure we'll here plenty about it if/when they do

Here we go again.

Indeed.

The riots aside, THB3000 for the transfer seem like an arm and, maybe throw in a leg.

I hope your ride's a Chrysler 350

Courtyard Marriott is not really that near from Platinum mall. It is quite near to Ratchadamri station (near Four Season) and you can use the other alley to go to Langsuan

Indeed.

Quite...

Certainly no signs of a riot here, even with Suthep huffing and puffing!

It might get interesting in the next couple of days, but the natives aren't restless yet...

And even if they were to get restless, the Courtyard Mariott's out of the "restless" zone and it's been business as usual in that area for quite a long time...
