AMS--

A very close hotel (think less than :15 door-ro-door) is the Bangkok Airport Hotel, which is located about 7 kms. NORTH of the airport (away from town, not closer to it) They offer airline crew and airline employees with ID rates of about THB1500 or so.. depends on hotel load for that night.. a basic hotel, but it's attached to a shopping center and some places to eat (includig a McDonalds for those craving western farang food).. All in all a good cheap choice for overnight lodging when you have a early morning departure.. It is NOT a good choice for those staying in town for a while as the drive to-from the hotel into town will be long
Cheers!
