I've been spending a lot of time on the search engines lately - searching for good deals in hotel accommodation, reading reviews, deciding on which hotel to stay during our upcoming shopping spree in Bangkok.
Some hotel travel sites are no doubt better and more efficient than others. Sometimes, getting the best priced hotel can cause a major headache. The price fluctuates each day and at different seasons. I hate the idea of being taken for a ride if say I had made a booking and realized later that I had overpaid for it.
Back in the old days, we would have to spend a lot of time and money to make sure that we are getting the best deal. We would call up the hotels to enquire and then, compare with the prices we got through from the agents. But that would cost us a lot in long distance phone calls and also the hassle of talking to travel agents.
In the present day, we are able to access to hundreds of hotel travel websites which provide detailed information, colour photos, location map, pages after pages of travellers' reviews of the various hotels. It is good to do a hotel comparison with a one click search as that saves time from searching through several travel websites. It is just one simple interface with a few buttons you need to find out prices of hotels. I am an all-supporter in online travel booking - it's convenient, fast, simple and literally hassle-free, plus, you save on online travel booking too!
I still can't seem to make up my mind on the few hotels I have shortlisted. Do not expect accommodation to be cheap if you want to travel comfortably as a family but for solo travellers, budget accommodation rate is definitely possible. I'm still hoping to pick the right accommodation hotel in Bangkok though.
The current global meltdown is sending me some warning signals to my spending habits. I suppose I may have to give up my desire to stay in the new Centara Grand @ Central World though the photos on the official website are seriously enticing! I've decided to cut down on our family vacation accommodation options and use the savings for shopping instead.
