Can i have first hand info on the following hotel - The Elegance Suites (http://www.elegance.th.com/)
it seems to be very oddly located in silom area.
more specifically i needed to know that if i were to stay there how long would it take me in peak traffic as well as non peak traffic to go to the shopping area/malls in Siam square area like paragon and mbk etc.
also how much would it app cost me by taxi.
we are with an infant so would not like to walk ard much to get to alternative transport as it doesnt seem like the bts sky station is very near either.
thanks for all yr help

personally i would shop for a serviced apartment nearer to sukhumvit rd/peenochit rd, the main shopping areas....
adelphi is one as carol has suggested....
centre point is another with one on wireless rd and another on luang suan rd....
ascott is another with a couple of places nearby....
taxis are cheap, even with traffic jams.....no ride would be more than $5.
i tend to use the skytrain and then take a taxi for the final part of the trip getting there and take a taxi back to the hotel from my last shopping place...
there are a couple of hotels around MBK as well...
You mention one-way traffic. That is a real problem IMO with the Sofitel. The taxi traffic can come to a complete stand-still, right outside the door of the hotel, and just sit and wait. The long one-way line is trying to merge onto Sukhumvit from soi 6. It can be a real nightmare, if one is trying to get somewhere in a taxi during rush hour!
