Amazing 4-Star Aira Hotel & Sukhumvit Soi 11 | Bangkok Walk & Review

A Bangkok walk down Soi 11 in Sukhumvit to the Aira Hotel, a fairly new 4-star hotel that has become my favourite place to stay in the area. I explore the hotel amenities including the rooftop pool and check out a premiere corner room.

Hi Johnny! Many thanks for the hotel review, it looks fab and great selection of food at breakfast. Your room looks great too, shame it wasn't soundproof lol. Liked seeing the hotel amenities too, thank goodness someone was there to let you out of the gym, would be embarrassing being stuck in there 😂 Glad you enjoyed your stay, many thanks and have a great day!

[@brentsarazin6597]

Johnny stuck in a gym would had made the front page in the Toronto Star...lol

[@Mary-wk6of]

Thank you so much Johnny, I really enjoyed your videos!😊

[@welcome_Moscow_walks]

Hello! Thank you for this little tour in Bangkok 😊

[@brentsarazin6597]

Just loved the attention to detail in the décor and materials used throughout this Motel and the room is Wow. TY Johnny.

[@martym61]

Great video. Of all the Bangkok hotels you've stayed at, this seems like one of the best.

[@azamyahmad]

Hey Jhonny and welcome back my friend and as always I really appreciate and enjoy watching your lifestyle documentary video channel walk away tour and another spectacular beautiful shooting filming footage compilation and as always beautiful camera work and you nailed it again .. take care and stay safe ..

[@margd77]

Hey, Johnny! I enjoyed this hotel review. Your room looked really nice and spacious. Maybe next time get a room without an adjoining door. The gym and rooftop pool looked excellent as well. Thanks for the review! 😊

[@ann2554]

Stunning room and hotel! 🤩

[@jeanettemorales6062]

Excellent hotel review Johnny! Your room looked beautiful. 🤩 The only thing disappointing for me is the lack of a bathtub. The dining amenities looked fantastic😊 Will add this hotel to my Thailand visit list!

[@AM-dx4we]

Great videos and the content. Well spoken with extra ordinary communication and narration skills. Would like to see a detailed video on Homewood Avenue and Wellesley Street Toronto

[@alexpagliaroli7335]

Hotel looks very classy wow that's nice

[@huynhtran8863]

Good video. Love it.

[@harjotjassal9180]

Beautiful video Johnny

[@JB50713]

Wow gorgeous place. Next stream we learn to open doors. Lol

[@user-bs4vb8vh6m]

So beautiful luxury hotel 😮🤗😊👍🎉🎊

[@bjhamburg8490]

Great video Johnny! Thank's for sharing! Hotel looks great, coming back to Bkk next month, will give this hotel a try for sure! Keep goin! Cheers mate 🍻

[@JohnnyStrides]

It's a great hotel!

[@michaelg.1832]

Thank you for the review, I stayed at a few hotels on my favorite Soi 11, like the Eleven Hotel, Ambassador Hotel, McClure Hotel, and the Solitaire Hotel...

[@paulmjprinz]

I saw this video a month ago and saved it. I watched it again tonight and booked a corner room, same as this for 3 nights. Was out of my budget range, so my Silom hotel for 3 nights was more than half cheaper to compensate. lol. Thank you to another Canuck for the content.

[@user-pz4el9mh1g]

Привет Джонни и всем присутствующим привет! Классное видео, как всегда захватывающе.

[@cainrac]

Good day, Johnny Strides & thanks for mentioning the full date! You are looking great & thanks much for showing us around a part of the city & your hotel room! Not much of a fan of this city & looks haphazard & there seems to be no road rules for traffic, did not see traffic lights unless I missed them. Can be very dangerous, for sure & wishing you much safety as you navigate those streets! Cheers & have a great day/evening! 💖💖🦅🦅🦅🦅

[@dylanreynolds8264]

good morning everyone

[@kalyasiri]

Look nice .... I should try to stay there

[@jacquelines9966]

Good morning

[@janus302]

I stayed in this hotel a day ago, it is a nice hotel. I like the miami hotel in soi 15 a carateristic old hotel with old things from the past

[@bg5biy574]

Morning good

[@Geecomp3]

Hi Johnny I just subscribed Thanks for the great review. I was wondering what type of camera do you use? Thanks Gerry in Michigan

[@JohnnyStrides]

Thanks! I use a DJI Pocket 3.

[@mamun_1m]

[@Wee-Rex]

I have stayed at the Aira many times and actually return again middle of May. It is a fabulous hotel, great amenities, nice location (Soi11 is the best Soi in bangkok IMHO) and convenient for everything. I eat and drink often in the Mullis bar attached to the hotel (say hi to Sasha for me if you venture in, lovely girl) but Soi11 has so much to offer it’s hard to choose favourites. And I agree about this being a genuine 4* hotel as compared to some that claim that status but are actually more like a 3* did you try Pastel the upscale restaurant and bar? It’s very much a fave of the Insta crowd but I really like it. Amazing cocktails and great views.

[@JohnnyStrides]

I checked out upstairs but didn't have a meal or drink there. Glad you like this property as well!

[@michaelwagner2246]

Thank you for this interesting hotel review. I would like to ask you one question regarding your hotel review. At 25:17 you are showing the App options offered on the TV of this Aira hotel. One of these App options is showing a "WWW" sign (the one above the KZbin app). Does this mean that you can go online on this TV to use the TV as a kind of computer? I am just asking because I am usually not taking my mobile phone with me when I am travelling for holiday purposes. So it would be really great to find a hotel where I could use the TV in my room as a computer to go online and browse websites during my holidays.

[@JohnnyStrides]

You can but I don't know why you would, it will be a horrible experience with the remote. Just use your phone/tablet/laptop IMO.

[@Marinate305]

Did you make it to their rooftop bar? Looks nice, I believe the name of it is Pastel on the 22nd floor.

[@JohnnyStrides]

I went up there for a view but that was after I recorded this lol. I can't really comment on it much.

[@SlimGlynn1]

Nice video! Is it guest friendly?

[@JohnnyStrides]

I didn't test that lol but it probably is.

[@lisamarierosso2713]

What kind of vitamins are you taking Johnny?

[@alteredillusions100]

Why is the places I visit on soi 11 at the far end😢 I love the fact that you can smoke at the pool. I would just stay there so I could smoke my cigars at the pool.

[@steveh7823]

Pity that it's in a red light area, excellent value for the price tho. Things can get pretty rough on Soi11 at night.

[@JohnnyStrides]

Soi 11 isn't a redd light area at all (Soi 4 and Cowboy would be though). I've stayed in this area several times, never experienced anything remotely "rough" tbh.

[@abbasmirah3349]

لك تؤبرني ال experience

[@boristheblade209]

530 dollars for 4 nights seems expensive. is that booked direct with hotel? or booked last minute? i book in advanced and usually pay no more than 90 dollars per night but thats through agoda

[@JohnnyStrides]

It's an upgraded premiere corner room. Booked through Agoda, which was cheaper than directly through the hotel. It's not expensive at all for what it is. The standard King room could have been had for under $100 without breakfast but I'd rather have the much better room and the meal for 2 included daily. To each their own.

[@boristheblade209]

@@JohnnyStrides i watched later in the video and you mentioned it was canadian dollar, forgot to edit my comment. But yes, i have stayed here multiple times and typically pay 3300-3800 baht per night, thats in a premier corner (if booked 5+ days in adv) or premier king. If i am booking last minute, i typically get deluxe king for 3300

[@nose10620]

[@lucachow3954]

what is the price ?

[@daisythompson07]

@@lucachow3954 £91 a night i think

[@kathyhirsch379]

How is the polution this time people still wearing face nappies 😊

[@JohnnyStrides]

Huh? They've always worn masks in this part of the world because of the air quality...

[@MasterPiece-rg7ed]

Why dont you buy a bts rabbit card? Its so much easier when using the bts..

[@JohnnyStrides]

I only used the BTS a few times this trip. I tend to just take Bolt/Grab everywhere.

[@keithss67]

You can’t use the word opulent to describe a hotel lobby if its main feature is a Starbucks

[@JohnnyStrides]

And I didn't.

[@mmaranta785]

Can you get breakfast there if you’re not a guest?

[@JohnnyStrides]

I have no clue.

[@RolandPer]

Stayed here before , corner room... lovely. Just don't like the shower head on the side 😅

[@JohnnyStrides]

I didn't mind that lol

[@ahsankhan-hu2ct]

Did i hear 560 us dollars, you have been robbed

[@Kilo1158]

Canadian, but still quite high regardless.

Can you be more boring?

[@JohnnyStrides]

Well after taking a look at your channel I think the answer is a resounding yes, yes I could be.
