Phuket Arrival Card

Planning a trip from the Philippines to Phuket? Before your flight, complete the free Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), which replaces the old paper TM6 arrival card. This guide explains when and how to submit it, which documents Filipino travelers need, and what to expect upon arrival at Phuket International Airport for a smoother entry.

❤️ Pro Tip: When planning your trip, consider booking your flights Manila to Phuket and Phuket hotels early to secure better rates and more choices.

What Is the Phuket Arrival Card?

What Is the Phuket Arrival Card?

Source: Thailand Digital Arrival Card Official Website

The Phuket arrival card is not a separate form used only in Phuket. It is part of Thailand’s nationwide Digital Arrival Card system, known as TDAC.

Thailand introduced the TDAC on May 1, 2025, replacing the paper TM6 arrival card. All non-Thai travelers entering Thailand by air, land, or sea must generally complete it before reaching immigration. The form collects your passport details, travel plans, accommodation address, contact information, and recent travel history.

The TDAC is only an arrival registration. It is not a visa and does not guarantee permission to enter Thailand. Immigration officers still make the final entry decision.

Pro Tip: If you are planning a trip soon, look for flights to Phuket early so you can get better prices and more schedule options.

Do Filipino Travelers Need the Phuket Arrival Card?

Do You Need the Phuket Arrival Card?

Yes. Filipino passport holders must complete the TDAC before entering Thailand, even when traveling under the visa exemption scheme.

The requirement also applies to:

  • Adults traveling for holidays or business
  • Infants and children
  • Travelers holding Thai tourist or long-term visas
  • Travelers entering by air, land, or sea
  • Travelers returning to Thailand after visiting another destination

Families can submit information for up to 10 travelers in one group application. However, each person will still receive an individual TDAC record.

Who Does Not Need a TDAC?

The TDAC is generally not required for:

  • Thai nationals
  • Airline or transport crew
  • Airside transit passengers who do not pass through Thai immigration

Travelers holding a Thailand Privilege Card are still foreign nationals and should complete the TDAC.

Do Filipinos Need a Visa for Phuket?

As of July 22, 2026, Filipino ordinary passport holders remain eligible to enter Thailand without a visa for stays of up to 60 days. However, Thailand has approved a new visa framework that may reduce the visa-exempt stay to 30 days. The change is still awaiting publication in the Royal Gazette and will take effect 15 days after publication.

Filipino travelers should check the latest Thai Embassy or Ministry of Foreign Affairs announcement shortly before departure.

Remember that visa-free entry and TDAC registration are separate requirements. Even if you do not need a Thai visa, you must still submit the TDAC.

Phuket Entry Requirements for Filipino Travelers

Prepare the following documents before flying to Phuket:

  • Philippine passport valid for at least six months from your arrival date
  • Completed TDAC with the confirmation QR code
  • Visa or proof of visa-exempt eligibility
  • Confirmed return or onward ticket
  • Phuket hotel reservation or accommodation details
  • Full address of your first accommodation in Thailand
  • Evidence of sufficient travel funds, if requested
  • Supporting documents showing the purpose of your visit, when applicable

Thai immigration officers may request proof of funds during entry screening. For certain visa-exempt entries, the stated amount is THB10,000 per person or THB20,000 per family. Children below 12 years old are excluded from this requirement.

🎉 Pro Tip: Filipino passengers should also complete the Philippine eTravel form within 72 hours before departing the Philippines. TDAC is for entering Thailand, while eTravel is a separate Philippine travel declaration.
🏨 Pro Tip: Don’t forget to look for Phuket hotels near major attractions to make your sightseeing more convenient!

When Should You Complete the Phuket TDAC?

Submit the TDAC within three days before your arrival in Thailand, including your arrival date.

For example, if you will arrive in Phuket on July 22, you may complete the form on July 20, 21, or 22. Completing it one or two days before departure is recommended so you have time to check your information and save the confirmation.

Kiosks and Wi-Fi may be available at Phuket International Airport for travelers who cannot complete the form beforehand. However, filling it in after landing may delay your immigration clearance.

The TDAC form cannot be saved halfway. Prepare all your information before starting.

Phuket Arrival Process at Phuket International Airport

Phuket International Airport

1. Follow the International Arrivals Signs

After leaving the aircraft, follow the signs for International Arrivals and Passport Control. Keep your passport and TDAC confirmation ready.

2. Proceed to Immigration

Filipino travelers entering under the current visa exemption scheme do not need to visit the Visa on Arrival counter. Proceed to the immigration lanes indicated by airport staff.

Present your:

  • Passport
  • TDAC QR code, if requested
  • Return ticket or hotel booking, if requested
  • Proof of funds, if requested

Phuket introduced automated passport channels for international departures on June 13, 2026. The official announcement did not confirm that all foreign visitors could use automated gates for arrival clearance. Follow the latest airport signs and instructions instead of assuming you can use an arrival e-gate.

3. Collect Your Baggage

After immigration, check the airport information screens for your flight number and baggage carousel. Free luggage trolleys are normally available in the baggage claim area.

4. Clear Customs

Choose the green channel if you have nothing to declare and are within Thailand’s duty-free limits.

Choose the red channel if you have restricted goods, commercial items, excess alcohol or tobacco, or anything that requires declaration.

Customs officers may scan or inspect baggage based on risk assessment.

5. Enter the Arrivals Hall

After customs, you will reach the public arrivals area. Taxi counters, airport transfer desks, SIM card shops, ATMs, and currency exchange services are available inside the terminal.

Nice hotel and great staff. The facilities are great too. Nice swimming pool and the gym is open til late. Also has table tennis and a nice on site bar. Breakfast buffet was a nice selection. The location isn’t that great, not near any metro and the area isn’t that nice. Everything else is great though!

Silom/Sathon Bangkok|0.28km from city center
The hotel's location is excellent; it's convenient to get anywhere in Silom and very close to the BTS Skytrain. There are large shopping malls, restaurants, massage places, and parks nearby, making it super convenient. We stayed on the 29th floor, and the view was fantastic; we could see what I call the 'Key Building.' The breakfast was plentiful, with delicious rice noodle soup, a great selection of salads, and a wide variety of egg dishes with an à la carte menu right on the table. The 25 Degrees Burger on the ground floor is fantastic, with vegan options, and the fact that it's open 24 hours is super convenient. Just a few steps away is a Mother Cow, which has tasty, non-fishy drinks and sugar-free options. The front desk and concierge staff were polite and attentive. The rooftop restaurant has a dress code. I loved the swings next to the elevators in the lobby. There's a self-service laundry nearby, very close, with new machines, and you can get everything done in an hour. The lady who cleaned our room was lovely. It was a pleasant stay.

Sukhumvit Bangkok|5.68km from city center
A very new and clean hotel. I think I've stayed at hotels from this brand before in Vietnam, and they're usually 5-star quality. Unfortunately, I was too tired on the day I checked in, and the bed was so comfortable that I slept straight through until the middle of the night. The next morning, using the gym and pool felt great. There's a washing machine and dryer on the ground floor for 100 baht per use, and you need to exchange tokens at the front desk. Honestly, I was a bit shocked by the price and would rather find a self-service dryer elsewhere. The room has a capsule coffee machine. The outlets seemed a bit loose, I'm not sure why. The room has large windows, but since it's on the third floor, there's no real view. However, the overall comfort is still excellent, and the toilet even has a bidet seat. The hotel offers a shuttle service to Thong Lo BTS station every hour. Since it's located in the heart of Sukhumvit, places like Ekkamai, Thong Lo, and Phrom Phong are all very close, about a five-minute Grab ride away. It's definitely worth staying here for travelers who want to explore the city center for shopping.

This hotel is conveniently located near Phaya Thai BTS station, making it easy to get to from the airport and to travel around the city.

The hotel is located centrally with good pedestrian access to the Ratchadamri and Chit Lom BTS stations. Furthermore, Central World, Gaysorn mall and a couple of other attractions are all either a 10 minute walk or short BTS ride away. The room are spacious and well equipped with the basic amenities. I did not get a chance to use the gym and pool facilities, but they were well maintained. Breakfast was decent with a combination of Asian and western food. There's a 7 Eleven within a 1 minute walk from the hotel as well as a cafe and restaurants. Overall a good hotel with great location.

The McSpicy Burger 🍔 has arrived~ 📍🗺️ Location: Within walking distance of the Ratchadamri metro station and the Phaya Thai Airport Rail Link. Close to the alley with the duty-free shop, which is great for strolling around and has a 711 nearby. I recommend the nearby Nikko massage shop. 🏠🏠 Environment: A very standard five-star hotel. It offers a quiet escape in the middle of the bustling city, with a grand lobby and plenty of seating. 🛎️🛎️ Service: Good. Staff proactively helped with luggage. The breakfast was also delicious with a wide variety of choices, including Thai milk tea and coffee, as well as boat noodles and omelets. 🧸🧸 Value for Money: High. Booked a Deluxe Twin Room. The room is very large; the facilities are not brand new, but it was very clean and well-kept. They were also very generous with ice cubes upon request. The air conditioning was noisy at night. Items in the minibar are extra. Cons: A deposit was collected at check-in. I paid by credit card and haven't received the refund yet. Looking at other reviews, this isn't an isolated incident. This felt like a terrible experience!

Ups: The beds were soft and good, theres water dispenser if you finished the bottled water. The Gym is amazing and so is the pool! Love the location the most - right smacked in the middle of Yaowarat and it is so accessible to the nearest train station. Windowless room- they made effort to create a fake window scene so thumbs up for the effoort. The aircon works super well too, only that controls could be repaired as the temp can only go lower not higher. Downs: Room has flies- see photos - quite yucked out by it and toothbrushes are given only upon requests.

Here’s a polished, high-quality review you can use: I had a wonderful stay at Hilton Garden Inn Bangkok. The hotel offers a great combination of comfort, cleanliness, convenience, and excellent hospitality. The rooms were modern, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything needed for a pleasant stay. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to assist, making the overall experience very enjoyable. The location is also a major advantage, with convenient access to shopping, dining, and other attractions in Bangkok. The atmosphere of the hotel was relaxing, while the service maintained the high standards expected from the Hilton brand. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience and would definitely recommend Hilton Garden Inn Bangkok to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in Bangkok. I look forward to staying here again on my next visit.

The hotel is located in the Sukhumvit area. The staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. During my first stay, the room was nice and well equipped with everything I needed, including large bottles of shampoo and body wash, a hair dryer, a kettle, tea and coffee, a wardrobe, and a small working area. However, my experience during my second stay was not quite as good. There was a small hole in the door, which made me feel a little uncomfortable, although it was not possible to see through it from outside. The sink was also clogged. The staff were very helpful and immediately sent someone to fix it. When it could not be repaired, they kindly upgraded me to a family room. Despite the issues with the room, I was very impressed with how the staff handled the situation and took care of me. The location is also convenient, with a 7-Eleven and several restaurants nearby. I would stay here again if I needed to attend a meeting in this area. The only downside is that the surrounding area can feel a little unsafe or uncomfortable when walking alone at night.

The room was spacious enough, with plenty of room even with a large suitcase open. I was very satisfied with the service, which included a large refrigerator, daily water replenishment, and even free Coke and instant noodles. The bathroom also had a bidet, and the hot water flow and pressure were strong and comfortable. Regarding the location, there's a shopping center nearby and Big C is very close, so there's no problem with dining or shopping for groceries. On the other hand, I was bothered by a slight musty smell, perhaps due to the age of the building, and the noise from cars, as it faces a main road, was quite loud. If you can overlook the slight age and noise, I think this hotel offers excellent value for money in terms of convenience and service.

Suvarnabhumi Airport Bangkok|12.89km from city center
The hotel looks nice from the outside, and the staff were polite. However, the room felt a bit dated and could benefit from some maintenance and refurbishment. The pillow had a slight odor, and a few facilities in the room were showing signs of wear, such as the soap holder, bidet spray, and toilet seat. The bathroom could also use more attention to detail, as I noticed some spider webs. One thing to be aware of is that the hotel appears to be popular with China groups, and the lobby was often quite busy. At times, some guests were lying down in the lobby area, which made the atmosphere feel an uncomfortable.

Chinatown Bangkok|2.48km from city center
Checked in on October 3, 2026, after taking the MRT from Suvarnabhumi Airport. We stayed in room 1202, a 26 sq. m. Deluxe Room on the 12th floor with a city view in Bangkok's Chinatown. No street noise could be heard. As is typical in Bangkok, there is no balcony. Both the room door and the elevators are key-card operated for security. The bathroom features a full-sized bathtub with a great shower head, strong water pressure, and easy hot water adjustment. Toiletries provided include liquid soap, shampoo, shower gel, a shower cap, and cotton swabs. Lighting in both the bathroom and the room is a bit dim, relying mostly on corner lamps rather than overhead lighting. Amenities include a standard safe, slippers, a wardrobe with clothes hangers (though no umbrellas), a luggage rack, a desk with a mirror, a TV with YouTube, and a mini-fridge. The standard coffee/tea station includes an electric kettle, cups, glasses, tea, coffee, and 2 complimentary bottles of water in reusable glass bottles. The king-size bed was very wide with a fairly soft mattress and 4 pillows, and the linens were clean. There are two bedside tables with floor lamps. We weren't charged a security deposit. The built-in air conditioner was quiet, but blew quite strongly—we actually woke up cold in the morning even with the temperature set to the minimum cooling of +28°C. Given the room size, it might feel a bit cramped for a family with a child. The hotel's location is fantastic: just 450 meters to the MRT underground station and the same distance to the Chao Phraya River pier. There are plenty of 7-Eleven stores nearby and street food stalls on every corner. There is a small swimming pool with a jacuzzi area on the 23rd floor. It's quite shallow (around 80 cm deep), making it more suitable for soaking up the city views than for serious swimming. We went on an excursion to the King Power Mahanakhon tower, paying 1233 rubles per ticket to admire the city from 314 meters up. Honestly, it wasn't really worth it—the view from the hotel's 23rd floor is almost just as good, and it's already included in the room rate!

Pratunam Market Bangkok|3.41km from city center
This was my second stay here, this time on the 45th floor. The room was still good, but my previous stay was in a higher-tier room with a floor-to-ceiling window and a higher floor, which was naturally more comfortable. I'd recommend booking as early as possible to get a better room type for roughly the same price. The air conditioning temperature couldn't be adjusted, and it was a bit too cold at night, so if you're sensitive to cold, bring extra long-sleeved clothing. The great thing about staying here is the opportunity to enjoy the changing light throughout the day and night, and to go up to the free 360-degree rotating observation deck to overlook the entire Bangkok – it's fantastic for photos. However, if you want to take pictures with people in them, using the restaurant's balcony during breakfast (which is paid) provides better photo opportunities. You can also move between different balconies to get a 360-degree view of Bangkok. While the breakfast itself is just average, the unparalleled view is, in my opinion, well worth it! I usually arrange this as my last hotel stop before returning home because the Pratunam area is convenient for buying souvenirs, and I feel secure leaving my luggage here. Taking the A3 bus to Don Mueang Airport is also convenient and quick. However, be aware that this time when I waited for the A3 at the bus stop at the alley entrance, I was misled by the ”A3, No Service” message on the bus stop sign, thinking it meant the service was suspended. In fact, it runs approximately once an hour, so it likely meant the electronic display couldn't read the schedule information. Checking bus times on Google Maps is more reliable. If you're going to Suvarnabhumi Airport, the Airport Rail Link City Line is equally convenient. Regarding souvenirs or personal items, if you need pain relief cream, I found that 'Tai Ru Yi' inside The Market Bangkok was much cheaper than Big C next door (Counterpain Hot 120g, 135 baht; Cool 120g, 144 baht). Bio Treatment hair mask sachets were 8 baht, and the red label 3-in-1 milk tea packs were 45 baht for 100g (180 baht for 500g, but this 500g pack wasn't the cheapest – I saw the cheapest at the red label milk tea branch in the basement of Robinson Department Store near BTS S6 station, 165 baht for 500g (50 baht for 100g)).

I recently stayed at W Bangkok for my trip to the city, and overall, it was a great experience, largely meeting my expectations for a W hotel. The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient to reach the major shopping districts in the city. There's also a BTS station nearby, which makes getting around pretty straightforward, especially for first-time visitors to Bangkok. The hotel's design truly embodies the W style – young, fashionable, and vibrant. The moment you step in, you're enveloped in a strong atmosphere. Both the public areas and the rooms are distinctively designed, and the hotel's vibe is particularly great in the evenings. The room was more spacious than I expected, and the facilities were quite comprehensive. The bedding was super comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep during my stay. The bathroom also had ample space, and the overall cleanliness and room maintenance were impressive. The breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and the taste was consistently good, with both Western and Asian choices to cater to different preferences. The hotel's pool and public areas also boast a fantastic ambiance; it's quite relaxing to just sit there and unwind on a nice day. I was also very satisfied with the service. The staff were friendly, and both check-in and check-out were smooth. They were also prompt in responding to any inquiries I had. All in all, I was quite happy with this stay. I'd say W Bangkok is particularly well-suited for those who appreciate hotels with a strong sense of design, atmosphere, and a youthful style. If you're traveling to Bangkok and hoping your hotel itself becomes an integral part of your travel experience, then this place is definitely worth considering. I'll likely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Bangkok.

The breakfast included Chinese-style dishes, and the service staff were warm and attentive. Be sure to try the spa! Banyan Tree's in-house essential oils are fantastic, and the therapists are very professional. I enjoyed a special package (90 minutes for around RMB 800, which also included afternoon tea on the 45th floor). The surrounding area is also very convenient. Just a heads-up: durians are not allowed back into the hotel! It's a good idea to download a translation app, as most of the hotel staff speak English and Thai... Fresh fruit was replenished daily in the room. Even though it's an older brand, it still stands strong, which shows that Banyan Tree definitely has its unique charm!!!

There is a huge gap under the door, resulting in very poor soundproofing. If you're unlucky and have neighbors coming and going frequently, it gets very noisy. The room itself is generally okay, but booking here is a bit of a gamble as some floors feature much older facilities. Unfortunately, the cleanliness wasn't great either—there were tons of tiny biting midges in the room flying out from the bathroom floor drain. Also, during daily housekeeping, hairs and bath mats were never cleaned, and the bedsheets were just straightened up instead of being replaced, which we found extremely disappointing. For a 5-star standard, having facilities and hygiene levels this poor, coupled with such perfunctory housekeeping, means I will likely choose another hotel next time. On the plus side, the bed was comfortable, and the front desk staff were friendly and prompt with their service. The location is very convenient with the MRT right outside, making it easy to get to the night market, the bustling Sukhumvit area, and shopping malls.

The location is very convenient as it is just a stone's throw away from Asok BTS and Sukhumvit MRT. My original booking was for jacuzzi room but it was under maintenance when I arrived. They did upgrade me to a bigger room. The staff are always very welcoming and friendly. There are great food options from cafes to local food. And Terminal 21 is just a 5 minute walk away. The quickest way from the airport if you are traveling light i.e. Carryon luggage is to take the airport rail to Makkasan Station and walk to Phetchaburi MRT. Take one station to Sukhumvit MRT use the skywalk at Asok BTS towards Nana BTS and take the stairs down on the right. After that, it's just a 2 minute walk to the hotel.

I had a wonderful stay at SILQ Hotel and would highly recommend it. The room was incredibly spacious and the bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. One detail I loved was the scent; the room smelled amazing every time I returned from the heat outside—it felt like a true sanctuary. The staff were exceptional and went above and beyond, helping us with our needs and even coordinating with our Grab drivers to ensure everything went smoothly. The food on-site was also delicious! The only minor thing to note is that it isn’t right next to the BTS (about a 7-10 minute walk), but the quality of the stay makes that walk totally worth it. Definitely a 5-star experience!

Silom/Sathon Bangkok|2.56km from city center
Had a very pleasant stay at Grande Centre Point Lumphini. The property is brand new, exceptionally clean, and nicely designed. The rooms are spacious with fantastic skyline views, and the daily free minibar is a great touch. Its location directly opposite the new One Bangkok mall and next to the MRT makes exploring effortless.My only critique is the check-in process. For a flagship 5-star property, making guests stand in a long queue to wait for room cards feels outdated. It would be a massive improvement if they offered arrival drinks or let guests sit comfortably in the lounge while the keys are being processed. Hopefully, management can look into this to match the high standards of the rest of the hotel. Still highly recommended!

The location is fantastic, right in the Siam shopping district. It's just a 10-15 minute walk to Siam Paragon and Central World, and the Erawan Shrine is only a 5-minute walk downstairs. The hotel is very new with great facilities, and I really loved the high-altitude infinity pool on the 35th floor. The breakfast buffet was delicious and extensive, and the room was very spacious. Absolutely no complaints, highly recommended! Plus, Let's Relax and a Japanese onsen are conveniently located on the 10th floor.

The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a short stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I really liked the modern, colourful design of the hotel. There are also plenty of restaurants and convenience stores around the area, which was very convenient. Overall, a great option if you’re looking for a comfortable and reasonably priced hotel in Bangkok. I’d happily stay here again.

Silom/Sathon Bangkok|1.34km from city center
Pros: 1. There's a washing machine (wash and dry combo), and they thoughtfully provided laundry detergent, so I didn't need to buy any. 2. The master bedroom has a large window with a great view, and there's also a bathtub for soaking, complete with bath salts. 3. I stayed on the 31st floor, which was very quiet. The staff were friendly and helpful, assisting with luggage from check-in to check-out. 4. The gym facilities are excellent, and you can even see the pool downstairs. Cons: 1. The TV isn't a smart TV. Although it has channels from various countries, it lacks YouTube and Netflix. Screen casting only works for certain apps (like YouTube). 2. There are too few power outlets in the room, not nearly enough for charging. Most importantly, there are no outlets in the bathroom, so I had to blow-dry my hair in the living room. 3. The master bedroom has a toilet, but it's tiny. The door barely opens without hitting the toilet. 4. The second bedroom doesn't have a toilet; you have to use the one in the living room.

Sukhumvit Bangkok|8.73km from city center
Pros: The location is the biggest plus: the hotel is directly connected to On Nut BTS station, so it's super convenient to get anywhere. The hotel is in the same building as Century On Nut, making dining and shopping incredibly easy. - During my stay, I happened to catch the On Nut weekend night market, which was very lively and added a lot to the experience. Cons: The facilities are severely inconsistent with a five-star rating, which is the main drawback: - The air conditioning had to be set to a very low temperature; otherwise, there was a very strong musty smell in the room (I suspect the filter hadn't been cleaned in a long time). - The shampoo and shower gel bottles in the bathroom were attached to the wall with very flimsy adhesive holders that would come off with a slight pull – the quality was concerning. - Upon checking in, I found a torn hole in the duvet cover under the mattress. - The TV remote control was broken on the first day. The staff were very nice and promptly replaced it. However, it stopped working again the next day when I returned to the hotel, so I had to get another replacement. After that, I just stopped using the TV for the rest of my stay. Summary: The staff's attitude is commendable, but the hardware and daily maintenance are truly unworthy of a five-star price and brand. If location is your top priority, it's the most convenient option in the On Nut area. However, if you have high expectations for accommodation quality, I'd advise you to think twice.

Siam Bangkok|2.19km from city center
Location: Nice location just 1 stop away from Siam, technically you could walk if you want to as the train was less than a minute. Easy to get to with the airport train, less than an hour to the hotel. The National stadium station is about a quick 3 mins walk to the hotel - but note for the exit to the hotel to take the stairs down on the correct side and refrain from taking the escalator down as you’d have to make one big loop. There is an escalator up on this side so no issues going up. Around the area there is a big lotus’s supermarket, 7-11, nicely priced massages and food around. Room: My 2 friends and I had the Trio Room which was great - lots of space for all of us. The room is clean and comfy. Bathroom is clean with cute and functional design. Complimentary water is available in the room. The only downside to this hotel is… the LIGHTING! The room is too dark and moody. After a long day of shipping and when you want to compare shopping buys it was too dark to do so and you have to turn on your phone flash light. Ironing board is available just call the front desk.

Hotel is located near one of the Airport Rail Link stations (Ratchaprarop Station). From Suvarnabhumi Airport, it only took me around 25 mins to get to Ratchaprarop Station and another 8-10 min walk to the hotel. The hotel is also walking distance to Pratunam Market, Platinum Mall and CentralWorld. The Deluxe King Room I stayed on the 16th floor is spacious, bright, clean and comes with a good city view. The housekeeping team kept my room tidy and clean throughout my stay. I think the hotel is a good choice for female solo travellers as the hotel’s surrounding is lively and brightly lit at night - I did not feel unsafe when going out/coming back.

The Berkeley Hotel Pratunam – Review 🇹🇭 Upon arrival, the hotel was easy to locate using Grab, and the staff were helpful with our luggage. The check-in process was quite convenient as we arrived early, so we registered first and returned after 3 PM to collect our room keys. However, I was a little disappointed with the check-in experience. I wish the hotel could install a queue barrier near the counter to ensure guests queue properly. Some guests would approach the staff and interrupt while others were still being attended to, which made the check-in process feel uncomfortable. Having a proper queue system would definitely make the experience more organised and pleasant for everyone. As for the room, everything was great! The room was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. I have absolutely no complaints about the room itself. Overall, the room and the helpful staff made our stay pleasant, but I hope the hotel can improve its queue management during check-in for a smoother guest experience.

I had thought the hotel might be a bit dated, but the Club Room and services were incomparable. The lounge service was fantastic; afternoon tea, breakfast, and happy hour were all excellent. The first round of the mini-bar was complimentary. There are also many great food and drink options near the hotel. It's truly a top choice for a city getaway.

Right upon entering the lobby, you can feel the exceptional service. While the guest room shows that the hotel isn't brand new, both the cleanliness and the in-room amenities are very good, and the bedding is comfortable. The room faces west, offering a stunning view of the sunset. Considering the hotel's location and price, it offers incredible value for money. The breakfast at Millennium Hilton Bangkok features a rich variety and tastes great, maintaining the consistent standard of the Hilton brand. The ferry service provided by the hotel makes crossing the river very convenient. Room service prices are also shockingly cheap. Located right next to Iconsiam, it is a very short walk away. I took a Chao Phraya River cruise in the evening and it ended quite late, but getting back to the hotel was super convenient. The only minor drawback is that there is only a handheld showerhead. Although it's a Grohe fixture, the water flow isn't very strong. However, once I switched to my own filtered showerhead, the water pressure increased significantly.

The hotel is not far from Nana station, about an 8-minute walk. Taxis can drop you right at the entrance. Downstairs is a bustling bar street, which gets very lively and congested after 11 PM. There are 7-Eleven convenience stores at both ends of the street and in the middle. I stayed in a room facing the back of the hotel, and it was very quiet! The front desk staff were very friendly. The only downside was that the grout in the shower stall had black mold, likely due to using the wrong material.

This was my second 8-day stay, and the cleaning was even better than last time. Every day I returned to a neatly made bed and fresh towels. Last time, during my five-night stay, the comforter and towels weren't tidied or replaced at all. This time, I also got to enjoy the shuttle service every half hour to the alley entrance, which was super convenient – no more walking back all sweaty. Even though it's drop-off only, no pick-up, it's still a fantastic service. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time. My stay was just as comfortable, and the room was clean and quiet. Plus, the Terminal Department Store is right across the street, making dining very easy.

Somewhat mixed feelings about this hotel. Overall we appreciated our stay but there are definetely improvements to be made. Let’s start with the bad: - Cleanliness: first room we got was simply not clean, with the bed skirt being filthy with multiple stains and hair on it. We went to the reception and asked for a different room, which was cleaner but still not perfect - Rooms: looked quite worn, furniture and walls were scuffed, they need a bit of love - Soundproofing: Very poor, we could hear the people in the next room super loudly. Had to sleep using earplugs a couple of nights Now the good: - The staff: very friendly and attentive, quick to help - The location: good location, lots of things nearby, a 7/11 1 minute away, relatively close to the MTR - The breakfast: delicious food, lots of choices both local and international, egg station, noodle station, etc. - The rooftop: beautiful rooftop pool and bar area situated on the 27th floor

My stay at the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers in Bangkok was an extremely satisfying experience overall. I highly recommend the river-view rooms and the riverside scenery; you can enjoy the beautiful views of the Chao Phraya River from both your room and the public areas. The hotel has two swimming pools where you can swim while enjoying the river views. The overall atmosphere is very relaxing, making it perfect for spending a day in, simply enjoying the hotel's facilities. Dining options are also abundant, with delicious Thai, Italian, and Western cuisine available. You don't need to go out into the city to enjoy various culinary delights. Additionally, I highly recommend the Relax massage on the third floor of the hotel – it's incredibly comfortable after a day of exploring Bangkok's attractions. The surrounding area of the hotel is also very convenient. There are two 7-Eleven stores just a 2-minute walk away, along with many local eateries, markets, and massage parlors nearby, making it easy to venture out in the evening. Most importantly, for just over 4,000 baht a night, you get a hotel with full river views, pools, dining, and massage services. The overall value for money (CP value) is excellent. I highly recommend this accommodation for anyone looking for a comfortable, relaxing, and scenic stay in Bangkok.
