Bangkok Thailand, Day 1

Before our flight, we had Burger King lunch in the airport. It has been some time since my last Burger King....their fries and Whopper were still as good!
 Flight at 1:30pm. It was a nice afternoon with clear blue skies!
nice weather all the way from KL to BKK...
I always enjoyed the view of the green paddy field from above, moment before landing 
 From the Don Muang airport, we took the public shuttle to the nearest BTS station, and from that station to Ratchathewi BTS station. Our hotel is situated right next to the Ratchathewi BTS station (which is one stop from Siam station) with connecting bridge to the hotel lobby. It is so convenient as walking to the hotel lobby took only 1 minute from the BTS station.
It was already 5pm when we checked-in the hotel. We stayed at Asia Hotel in Phayathai Road for 3 nights. The hotel seems retro but is equipped with all the basic necessities.
Clean yet spacious room, and most of all, no noise from the road traffic.
 Toilet is bright...it even hav a bathtub!
I prefer showering in a bathtub as it is more spacious than a shower room.
hola! 
 The room view from another angle...Despite a retro hotel with old design, the room is equipped with a touchscreen that controls all the switches and aircond temperature, not bad for a 3-star hotel!
The hotel lobby, which reminds me of our KL Shangri-la in the 90s
 Typical hotel lobby layout with lotsa clocks and chandeliers lamps
Surprisingly, despite a limited space in the city centre, the hotel has 2 swimming pools....
One at the sixth floor (somewhere there)
 and another at the rooftop, which offers a city view
The nightlights from the nearby commercial/shopping district. Siam Paragon is visible from here (but too bright to be seen in this picture!)
 
It was a pleasant 3 nights stay...

Taking the window seat, you get to enjoy nice view especially during take off and landing. The hotel room and bathroom looks very clean and comfortable. Are you on holiday or working trip?

Did you swim in the hotel swimming pool?

Pretty cool hotel. Nice paddy field view from above. Now I am missing BKK. Have a short stop in Siam Paragon on my previous visit, not for shopping but food. A beef noodle in a famous beef outlet.
