The coach was mostly our own on the way to Bangkok from the Thai border, and while the ride was predictably long, it was aircondictioned and smooth. The driver was sensible and to our later delight, dropped us off on the same street as our hotel, the Mile High Club, which had a distinct theme of aeroplanes and pilots, was narrow but cozy and welcoming with open, friendly staff who were willing to help whenever asked. The decor was lovely, the dining area polished wood and cream, and both bedrooms and bathrooms clean and organised, with the triple room containing television, full fridge and small freezer, sink and cupboards, kettle, tea with sugar and dried milk. The bathrooms had a hot shower, soaps and fluffy towels in pink and white. The beds were reasonably soft, and we slept soundly.
