Location - in the heart of pratunam, well located for shopping and indian food. The opposite side of the Baiyoke Sky Hotel has a lane filled with shops right up to a lane called baiyoke gallery. Also, diagonally opposite the Baiyoke Sky Hotel is indra square a shopping arcade popular for indian tourists. Prices are cheaper here. On the same side as the Baiyoke Sky Hotel downstairs are many indian restuarants and few thai massage parlours. The shop keepers are not keen to bargain much. If you want to try local food like we did, then there are hawkers downstairs but of-course it is mainly non vegetarian. There is also a 711-convenience store near the Baiyoke Sky Hotel and forex dealers as well. The closest buts (metro) station can be reached with the free hourly Baiyoke Sky Hotel shuttle. The airport rail link train station is walking distance to the Baiyoke Sky Hotel, so if you are travel-ling light then suggest you try this as it is cheaper. Ofcouse you have to walk a bit from the station to the Baiyoke Sky Hotel, about 5 mts. Room: we stayed in the superior suite standard zone, very spacious, good toiletry amenities and tea coffee satchets. One bottle of water per person per day. Decor looked outdated, not spoil t or damaged, just looked as if they had not refurbished since a very long time. Hotel breakfast - this is the best part of the Baiyoke Sky Hotel as the breakfast is massive. You will get indian, thai and american dishes. You will need at-least an hour and a half to do justice to the breakfast. Recommend having the breakfast on the 81st floor instead on the 77th floor. Better seating including an option of open balconies. Amenities - there is a priority club lounge on the 20th floor where they serve free snacks and juices all day, unlimited times for inhouse guests. The swimming pool looked very small, and they had thai massages but of-course more expensive than the local parlours on the road outside. The elevators were quick and did not take time to go up and down unlike some other feedback i had read. However, when there are outside visitors entering to go upto the observation deck and the revolving viewpoint, it can get a little busy. The revolving viewpoint was nice, windy and gave you a good view of the city. In terms of Baiyoke Sky Hotel staff, i did not find them to be friendly especially at the lobby area. Very curt and dry in their responses. I found this to be an average response to indian tourists. Overall, if you are looking for cheap shopping, good breakfast then this is the Baiyoke Sky Hotel for you.
