[Sai Tai]

Currently staying as Sofitel Residence Asoke on Suk Soi 19; 400 meters up the soi from BTS station.

70 sqm suite with bedroom, 2 bathrooms (main with shower and tub; second bathroom with basin and toilet), living and dining areas, kitchen, and own laundry room with washer. Like new. Roof top swimming pool.

Rather expensive unless you have an Accor Advantage Plus card which gets you member rates of 2635 pre-paid, and 3300 non-restricted.

There is a monthly rate of 85,000 baht inclusive that is available to all.

Internet access is 1000 per week or 3000 per month. Staff install a DSL modem at the bedroom desk.

At check-in the desk girl quoted the standard guest policy line... all overnight guests must register to comply with regulations. But in practice, it is very guest friendly; a salute every night from the door guards, and a smile and a welcome back from the night desk staff. No ID check, no joiner fee.

Roof top swimming pool is about 21 meters in length. I am always the only one using it.

Previously, I have had monthly stays at the President Solitaire. I will always stay here from now on. More modern, much quieter, and just an 8 minute walk from Soi Cowboy.
