Donut Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 According to my local press hotels in Bangkok are right now heavily discounted due to the crisis and low occupancy. However, when I look at the prices on the net (both the hotels own pages and different agencies) the prices are like always - and Swiss Park has even increased the price since October 2008. Is there any truth to the media reports or am I using the wrong approach to find the good offers :question: /Donut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakai Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hotels prices are indeed lower than usual but you maybe checked the wrong websites? Most hotels have promotions and lower prices but it is true some booking websites have the same prices as usual. Out of curiosity, in which newspapers did you see this? Do they name some hotels? Or is it just one more inaccurate western newspaper writing an article about Thailand ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 They were not specifik on the hotel names but it was mentioned in two different newspapers and on the radio. So I am curious as how to get these special prices. /Donut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakai Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Tim, someone requesting low prices for BKK hotels, maybe you can help him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I have been using Tim's services for the past 3 years and have only good things to say about THD. But as mentioned the press saying one thing and then prices going up in "real life" just made me curious. /D Ps. quite sure I will book through THD as usual in any case :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanddawg1 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I emailed the hotel I like to stay at directly and ask them for thier best rate. They took off an addtional 10% off the discounted rate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaihoteldiscounts Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Donut, Great to hear that. Swiss Park has renovations currently going on. They have increased the hotel prices this year and we have not sold half as many rooms as before. I would give it a miss this trip. Plenty of newer hotels in the area and once I know your dates, would happily email u some options. Cheers Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
