Where To Stay In Bangkok For $30/Night | The Prince Palace Hotel | Thailand

[@TradeTravelTroopy]

YOU MISSED SHOWING THE UPSTAIRS RESTURNT WITH THE BIG GLASS WINDOWS, IT IS STUNNING, AND THE ROOFTOP, WHERE YOU ARE ALLOWED TO GO AND SEE THE ENTIRE CITY. LOVE THE PRINCE PALACE AKA PIN PALEE. CANT WAIT TO GO BACK

[@FollowBrando]

The place is so big it's hard to cover it all! I will definitely check out that rooftop the next time I'm there. Maybe this week...

[@TradeTravelTroopy]

in the main pink tower, take the elevator to the top, , then turn right into the stairwell, and go up to the roof. its epic at night

[@FollowBrando]

@@TradeTravelTroopy ok that's why - I was never in the pink tower. I'll check it out!

For making video, which device you used? GoPro or Insta360?

[@FollowBrando]

Here's my Amazon affiliate link for the DJI Pocket 2 camera that I use for filming. Buy through the link and I will give you all of my advice about using the camera. It's the best for vlogging in my opinion: DJI Pocket 2 Creator Combo, 3 Axis Gimbal Stabilizer with 4K Camera amzn.to/3oiFZJV

Very nice vid review on the hotel mate! Good job 👏🏽👌🏽

[@FollowBrando]

Thank you. It's an old place but good value.

[@springroll703]

Awesome video as alway. I will be checking out this Hotel once i visit Thailand this year. TY

[@FollowBrando]

Thanks for watching. I thought the hotel was a great value for all of the gym/pool/indoor space even if the rooms are super dated and a bit funky.

[@jurgenkastermans7365]

This hotel looks outdated and it probably is. But for the last 20 years this is our place to stay when we visit BKK. The buffet breakfast is great. Staff is great. And to move around in the area you can use the boats on the river next to it, fast and cheaper than taxi's.

[@FollowBrando]

I meant to try those water taxis. They move pretty fast. The hotel is a great value. I'll be back myself! Thanks for watching.

[@lukasrejchrt2128]

Hi, is there a direct connection from the pier next to the hotel to the Wat Arun area? I ve been trying to get there by boat, but didnt manage to. Im returning next month and want to give it another try...

[@FollowBrando]

@@lukasrejchrt2128 I know someone who is about to make that very exact video. I'll see if I can get the details.

[@lukasrejchrt2128]

@@FollowBrando Oh that would be amazing, thanks!

[@FollowBrando]

@@lukasrejchrt2128 what she said: If you are in Bangkok, you can take the Chao Phraya Express Boat and get off at Tha Tien..After that, take a ferry from the Phra Nakhon side and get off at the pier in front of Wat Arun right away...or charter a boat tour along the Chao Phraya River to visit many temples.

[@Xyz99924]

We stayed there 5 nights in June 2023 was amazing.

[@FollowBrando]

Thanks for the update. I thought the place offered a lot of value for 30 bucks!

[@wongchungnin5718]

Good Video. Have you ever been to Laos or Cambodia?

[@FollowBrando]

Only to Cambodia for the visa run. I plan to visit both. Any suggestions?

[@derbeobachter8307]

-Hi, thank you for your videos. i also enjoyed the visa run video in Cambodia. Very entertaining. You look really young, maybe just a few years older than me, how did you get out of the rat race? Did you ever explained it in one of your videos?

[@FollowBrando]

Good question. I've always just kind of been half in and half out of the rat race as I work freelance and still do (now remotely). I just turned 50. I feel young but I'm no millennial ha.

[@gm271]

hi is steam and sauna free for guests or chargeable

[@FollowBrando]

Free for guests. I used the sauna, which was pretty hot meaning they leave it on as opposed to some hotels where you have to wait for them to get it going.

[@gm271]

hi is it a guest friendly hotel without extra charge

[@FollowBrando]

@gm I didn't bring guests back to the place and I'm not sure what their official policy is but it's so big with so many people coming and going that you could easily bring several people in and out of your room without anyone noticing or questioning you.

[@proarsenal]

Thanks for the vid. I tried checking the area on gmaps but this vid is what I was looking for. My wife would have killed me if I took her here. I wouldn't mind staying here though with the boys!

[@FollowBrando]

Haha yeah, I'm sure plenty of marriages died at the Prince Palace in Bangkok for that very reason. Check Agoda if you haven't yet for apartment/homestays in the Asoke area or Sukhumvit Soi 10 to 30s. I can usually book something modern and clean for around $25/night. @proarsenal

[@ua1514]

How’s the room AC?

[@FollowBrando]

It was good otherwise I would have picked on it in the video haha. The technology was old but the room was cool.

[@ladolcevita13]

Do we get 5 star facility in this hotel?

[@FollowBrando]

I would consider it a property that once was a true 5-star facility. But, as I mention in the video, it's like a 65-year-old supermodel and has seen better days. If you can tolerate the poor conditions of the guest rooms, you'll enjoy two large pools and fitness center. But do not put clients up at this hotel and tell them they'll be staying at a 5-star property. That's pretty much how I explained it in the video.

[@poshbo]

The LA supermodel you describe sounds like Janice Dickinson? lol

[@FollowBrando]

Haha spot on.

[@bluesky_bluesea]

Love the model comparison 😅

[@FollowBrando]

Haha thanks. I reshot parts of the video after I thought of that.

[@nadeemsheikh862]

Dec 2011.i hv stayed here for days

[@FollowBrando]

Bet the carpet was a bit less "crime scene" back then.
