Trendy Hotels

BE EN-CAPSULE-LATED BY SIMPLICITY

 We met up with an investment banker relative recently who used to work for an established financial institution in Singapore for many years.  An epiphany had him pitch some investors together to start a luxe capsule hotel,  I shall feature it as soon as the establishment is up and operating.  His USP for his venture is that "oxy moron" trend sells in today's idiosyncratic lifestyle trends.  So by adding a sybaritic touch to the supposedly no-frills capsule trend, his business proposal bowled over the investors and voila - a vision is being materialized.  That's life!  

That brings me to the topic of capsule hotel.  I first read about it when Japan was raging with the concept many years back.  The Japanese are always ahead in such space-constraint lifestyle innovations.

THAILAND'S BURGEONING CAPSULE 

Then in my last few years of traversing between Bangkok and my kampung, I tried staying in some that were popping up.  I mostly book my hotels with booking.com because they had never disappointed in delivery, and once even helped me get out of a hairy situation with a Bangkok hotel without penalty.  I find the new Luz Triple Capsule - which actually slept 4 of

 Our family of 4 fits just perfect in the Triple Capsule

  us in a family nicely.  We paid around THB1000 per night and are surrounded by many local shopping centers and eateries along Sukhumvit Road and only 400 m away from Arab Street (Nana).  It is only a short walk to the nearest BTS Phloen Chit station (600 m) or Nana BTS Station (800 m). We are surrounded by many local shopping centers and eateries along Sukhumvit Road and only 400 m away from Arab Street (Nana), with swanky shopping at Central Embassy(600 m), Gaysorn Plaza(1.1 km), Central World(1.4 km), Terminal 21 and the EmDistrict.

 You may book direct with Luz.  Or you may want to try MyBed Capsule which is just next to Ladprao Station (where you can take the MRT to next stop Pahon Yohtin for the youth mall called Union Mall and then indulge in upscale shopping at Central Ladprao). 

Wishing you Sabai Sabai on your next Bangkok trip!
