Essentials

Thomson Residence Hotel is a serviced-apartment hotel at 42 Soi 4, Bangna-Trad Road, beside HomePro Bangna and the BITEC Exhibition Centre. It is one of the closest beds to the halls, about 0.5 km away, so show days start on foot.

The hotel’s website describes the BTS Sky Train as “minutes away” without a distance. Guests describe the walk to the station as long, so treat the halls as the walk and the train as a short taxi hop.

Overview

The apartments come in seven types, from studios to four-bedroom units, between 24 and 220 m2. Both serviced and non-serviced rates are offered, and housekeeping is daily. Laundry facilities are in the suites alongside a laundry service, which makes a week or more far easier than in an ordinary hotel room.

Shops and errands are close: the hotel lists Starbucks a minute on foot, plus IKEA, Mega Bangna and Central City shopping centre in the neighbourhood. Parking is indoor and outdoor. Of the hotels in the walking cluster, this is the one set up as apartments; the full list with distances is in hotels near BITEC in Bangna.

Tip: For a stay of a week or longer, book one of the larger units and use the in-suite laundry rather than sending everything out.

Food and drink

The hotel offers a choice of breakfasts and in-room dining for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Starbucks is a minute away, and the malls listed above have food courts and restaurants for everything else.

Amenities

There is a swimming pool and a fitness room, both for guests. Wi-Fi is free and high speed.

Suvarnabhumi Airport is listed as nearby, and an airport car can be arranged with the hotel. The BITEC halls are close enough to walk, and the Starbucks and HomePro next door keep most daily needs within a few minutes on foot.
