Dreaming in Bangkok

Posted by Staff in Budget Thursdays, Thailand

Naming a hotel Dream can be a risky endeavor, as you are setting your guest’s expectations high from the get go. But a hotel in Bangkok has successfully tackled this feat, Dream Bangkok.

The hotel’s goal is to make you feel as though you are sleeping on a cloud…this effect is accomplished by super soft bedding and blue lights penetrating from under the bed.  Other features in the room include large plasma TVs, preloaded iPod players, plush bathrobes and free bottled water (a must after the grueling long flight to Bangkok).

Set in the heart of the city and close to the Skytrain, the hotel is easy to navigate to and from.  The chic modern interior has been used for many music videos and is popular amongst Asian glitterati. 

The best part is that this hotel offers all the amenities you would expect of a five star hotel but at super low prices with rooms starting at $75 per night. dreambkk.com
