Luxury 2-Bed Bangkok Oasis Near BTS Udomsuk! 100m²!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into reviewing Luxury 2-Bed Bangkok Oasis Near BTS Udomsuk! 100m²! – or as I'm starting to affectionately call it, the "Udomsuk Eden." And let me tell you, this isn't your grandma's cookie-cutter hotel review. This is gonna be raw, real, and probably a little bit chaotic.
First Impressions (…and the BTS Whizzing By!):
So, right off the bat… accessibility. Okay, it's near the BTS Udomsuk. And NEAR is the operative word here! Getting there with luggage? Not a leisurely stroll, let's just say that. You’re gonna need a taxi or grab. But hey, once you're there, bang, you're near the train, which whips you into the heart of Bangkok in what feels like a heartbeat. Score for accessibility, in a slightly roundabout way. More on that train later.
The Room: Heaven… and Maybe a Little Bit of Laundry Day:
Okay, let’s talk TURF, which is, in this case, the room. The 100m² is not just a number; it's a freaking lifestyle. I'm talking enough space to do cartwheels (which, full disclosure, I attempted, and nearly knocked over a lamp. Sorry, housekeeping!), the blackout curtains? Genius. Let's just say I slept like a baby, even with Bangkok's perpetual hum in the background. The bed? Like sinking into a cloud made of marshmallows and dreams. And the bathrobes? Don't even get me started. I basically lived in one for the entire stay.
Now, remember that anecdote of me nearly knocking over the lamp? That's because I was moving in that big space, and, not going to lie, the rooms are gorgeous, but with all that space comes…well, a lot to clean, which means even daily housekeeping can't catch all the dust bunnies (sorry again, housekeeping). But the little details were spot on – the complimentary tea, the mini-bar (a little pricey, I'll admit), and the separate shower/bathtub? Pure decadence. I even used the scale once. Don't ask.
Cleanliness and Safety: Did Someone Say Hand Sanitizer? (And Lots of It!):
Okay, the Covid situation. I was a little nervous about it all, but they really take it seriously. There’s hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE. Seriously, you’d think they were giving it away. The whole health situation made me feel secure, from the individually wrapped food options to the staff trained in safety protocol. It was reassuring to see such a focus, which let me relax and, you know, maybe do a few extra cartwheels.
Food, Glorious Food! (Where to Even Start?):
Okay. Listen. Food is my love language. And the "Udomsuk Eden" kind of delivers here.
Breakfast: The breakfast buffet! Oh, sweet mercy. Okay so, buffet, right? Buffets can be hit or miss. But this one? Hits. Asian and Western options. A glorious mess of choices made even more glorious by that morning coffee. The Asian breakfast options? Incredible, seriously, I'm getting hungry just thinking about steaming bowls of congee.
The Restaurants: Okay, the A la carte menu at the restaurant was pretty darn good. It's a solid choice, though perhaps not a Michelin-star experience - but a safe alternative to the chaotic Bangkok streets when you're already in your bathrobe.
Room Service: I made liberal use of room service. I'm not proud of it. But 24-hour availability is dangerous when you're on vacation and craving a late-night snack.
Snack Bar: A lifesaver. Especially when you've had one too many happy hour cocktails.
Ways to Relax (Or Not!): The Gym, the Pool, and My Love-Hate Relationship with the Sauna:
Alright, so the "Udomsuk Eden" boasts of ways to relax. And they're pretty good ones, too.
The Pool: The pool with a view? Yes, please! It's the kind of spot you imagine yourself in. Perfect for a quick dip after a day of exploring, or to soak up some rays.
The Fitness Center: It's there. I looked at it. From my window. Let's just say my idea of a workout was "walking to the pool and back."
The Spa: I went for the spa. I had a massage. It was bliss. Pure, unadulterated bliss. They even had a foot bath, which was the perfect prep for said massage. Bliss.
The Sauna/Steam Room: This is where the love-hate comes in. I am not used to the sauna. I'm not used to the steam room. I lasted about five minutes. I did however, have a spa day with amazing body scrub and body wrap.
The Quirks and the Quibbles:
Okay, no place is perfect. Here's the REAL talk:
Internet: The Wi-Fi in the room was a bit spotty at times. And the LAN internet? Well, I couldn’t find the port, let alone plug into it. Just go with the Wi-Fi, it's easier.
The "Shrine": There is a shrine on-site. It's quite lovely, actually. A little reminder to breathe and be mindful, which is sometimes needed in Bangkok.
The Extras (and the Lack Thereof): They do have a convenience store and a gift shop. But, I had to run to the 7 Eleven around the corner.
The Verdict & Final Offer: Is the "Udomsuk Eden" Worth It?
HECK YES. Despite the slightly spotty internet, the walk to the BTS, and the fact that I almost caused a housekeeping incident, Luxury 2-Bed Bangkok Oasis Near BTS Udomsuk! 100m²! is a winner. It's spacious, comfortable, well-equipped, and with those stunning views.

Escape to Paradise: Dalaman's Lykia Resort & Spa Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your sanitized, perfectly-planned travel itinerary. This is going to be a messy, wonderful, slightly-sweaty, and totally Bangkok-in-your-face kind of adventure. We're staying at that U3 Large 2 Bedroom Full kitchen place near Udomsuk BTS, yeah? Perfect! Let the chaos commence…
Day 1: Arrival, Curry, and Cat Conundrums
- Morning (Like, 10 AM? Jet lag is a bitch): Finally! Bangkok! After surviving the airport (always a trial, am I right?), we'll wrestle our luggage (and our sanity) onto the BTS towards Udomsuk. Pray the train isn't packed with tourists. Seriously, don't judge my initial crankiness, I haven't slept in like, 20 hours.
- Afternoon (Post-check-in chaos): Okay, U3. Looks… fine. Maybe a little less ‘Instagram-ready luxury’ and a little more ‘functional-with-a-failing-aircon-but-hey-it’s-Thailand’. We'll dump our bags, and then the real mission begins: finding good food. This is non-negotiable.
- Lunch: Gotta find some authentic Thai food near Udomsuk that’s not specifically for tourists. Gotta, gotta, gotta… I swear I'm going to faint from hunger. Let's stroll around, and then maybe, maybe, we'll eat the first thing that looks right. Street food is the way. I want the spiciest green curry I can find. And maybe some sticky rice. God, I love sticky rice. Please let there be sticky rice.
- Late Afternoon (Cat-astrophe): Right, so, I've heard there are stray cats EVERYWHERE in Bangkok. Pray for me. Hope I won't have too much allergies. Finding a friendly feline, or several, is absolutely a goal for the first day. If not, then I will make it one.
- Evening: Sunset drinks. Gotta watch the sunset. It's a total cliché, but I don't care. Rooftop bar recommendation? If we're up for it, that is. Otherwise, we'll get whatever is close by and enjoy our new surroundings.
Day 2: Markets, Temples, and Temple Disasters
- Morning (Getting lost in the maze of Chatuchak Market): Okay, prepare for sensory overload. Chatuchak Weekend Market is where dreams (and souvenirs) are made! It's a chaotic, amazing, and unbelievably overwhelming experience. We'll probably get hopelessly lost. We'll definitely buy things we don't need. It's part of the charm! Negotiating prices is a must, even if I'm awful at it.
- Afternoon (A Temple Pilgrimage): This is where the culture starts. We’re hitting up a temple. Probably the one with the reclining Buddha? (Wat Pho, I think.) We’ll try to be respectful of the traditions (I'll try to cover my arms and legs, even though it's HOT). I have a feeling I'll probably accidentally stumble over something (again).
- Late Afternoon (Accidental Temple Mishap): Oh, God. I'm thinking the temples might be a bit too formal for me. I'll start daydreaming, start not paying attention, and then… something bad will probably happen. Let's just say I'm a bit clumsy, and I definitely have a knack for embarrassing myself. It'll make a good story, though.
- Evening (Food Cart Frenzy): Tonight, we hit the food carts. More street food! Noodles, mango sticky rice (again!), anything that looks delicious and weird and makes me question my entire life.
Day 3: Floating Markets, River Cruises, and Total Chaos
- Morning (River Runnings): I want to go to a floating market. Damnoen Saduak or Amphawa? Which one is less touristy? (I'm already anticipating major tourist traps, so pray for the best, pray for the best). The smells, the colors, the boats… it should be epic. I fully expect to get splashed, jostled, and utterly overwhelmed.
- Afternoon (The Longtail Boat Ride): This is going to be the best part. I want those longtail boats that tear up and down the river. We’ll be careening through the waterways, dodging other boats, and taking a million terrible photos. I fully expect to have my hair a complete mess. And I don't care.
- Evening (Dinner Cruise? A Romantic Disaster?) This is going to be an adventure of a different kind. Am I too tired for this? Am I too messy? I think I'll be going. It's a cliché, I know, but the idea of seeing the city lights at night… Yes. I think I'll do it. But I'm not making any guarantees I'll have a good time.
Day 4: Massages, Malls, and Maybe Some Soul-Searching (or at Least, Lounging)
- Morning (Massage Mayhem): Thai massage? Yes, please! I've heard it's amazing, but I'm also a wimp who hates the feeling of being touched. Pray I don't scream. Okay, I'll try to relax and enjoy the experience… maybe.
- Afternoon (Mall Mania): Let's shop. Let's get some retail therapy. Let's get out of the sun for a while. I'm not a huge shopper, but that's fine, because I can look and just get the experience.
- Evening (Udomsuk Exploration): Last night. Okay, we try to find a nice local restaurant and then go back to our apartment. I have no plans. I'll just relax.
Day 5: Departure (With a Heavy Heart and a Stomach Full of Delicious Memories)
- Morning (The Final Meal): One last breakfast. One last mango sticky rice. Maybe some spicy noodles to ensure I remember the heat.
- Afternoon (Airport Anxiety): I hate airports. I'm pretty sure I'll forget something. I'll likely be late. But it's okay, because I have a whole bunch of crazy stories to tell… and maybe I'll come back.
A Few Important Notes (because I'm inevitably going to forget something):
- Money: I'll definitely underestimate how much cash I need. Always do.
- Language: My Thai is going to be… limited. "Sawasdee krap/ka," "khop khun krap/ka," and "Mai Khao Jai" are the sum of my knowledge. Pray for communication.
- Heat: It's going to be hot. Like, ridiculously hot. Hydration is key. Air conditioning is a necessity.
- Mosquitoes: I will be bitten. Guaranteed. Bring the bug spray.
- Transportation: We're going to use the BTS, taxis, tuk-tuks… anything. Prepare for some aggressive driving.
- Emotions: I fully expect to be overwhelmed, exhilarated, exhausted, frustrated, and utterly in love with Bangkok. This is going to be a rollercoaster. Hold on tight.
So, there you have it. The messy, honest, and hopefully hilarious itinerary of our Bangkok adventure. Now, let's get ready for some fun. Let's get lost. Let the chaos begin!
Clarion Pointe Apex: Holly Springs' Hidden Gem (Luxury Hotel Secret!)
Okay, so... is "Luxury" actually *luxury* luxury? Or like, "Bangkok Luxury"? Because let's be real…
Alright, deep breaths. The "L" word. Look, I’ve seen some "luxury" hotels that felt more like upgraded hostels. Here, it's… elevated. For Bangkok, *yeah*, it leans towards the luxury side. Think: decent appliances (no rusty toasters!), comfy beds (slept like a damn log!), and a general feeling that the owners actually *cared* when they put this place together. It's not Buckingham Palace, but it's a far cry from a cramped shoebox. My partner, though? They were obsessed with the marble in the bathroom. Like, borderline indecent. “Look at the veining!” they kept saying. I just wanted to take a shower... and breathe freely.
100m²! That's… spacious, right? Cause I'm used to apartments that barely fit my cat and a yoga mat.
Honey, you're going to *breathe* in this place. 100m² is a damn palace compared to most Bangkok apartments. Seriously, my shoulders actually *relaxed* when I walked in. I did a little happy dance – tripped over a rogue suitcase. But the point is, there’s *room*. Plenty of it. You could probably hold a small pilates class in the living room. You might even be able to *find* your keys without going on a treasure hunt. My only complaint? I kept losing the remote. Probably somewhere near that marble…
BTS Udomsuk - is that actually convenient? I'm used to getting lost, like, all the time.
Okay, listen up. Udomsuk is a godsend. The BTS is literally *right there*. Like, a five-minute walk, max. No sweaty taxi rides, no haggling with tuk-tuk drivers. Just... the glorious Skytrain whizzing you into the city. I, a notorious directionally-challenged individual, managed to navigate it with minimal breakdowns. The biggest challenge? Remembering which side of the platform to stand on. (Pro-tip: Look for the other lost souls squinting at the signs. You’re not alone!) I once tried to walk from the apartment to the BTS while already tired, it took ten minutes to get there, I was really hoping I can just get straight on the train.
Okay, but what about the actual *location*? Is it dead quiet, or is it gonna be a cacophony of mopeds and karaoke all night? (My sleep is precious!)
The location is a sweet spot. It's not *dead* quiet, Bangkok never is, but it wasn't a constant assault on my eardrums, either. There's some street noise, the occasional distant temple bell (which, honestly, I found kinda charming), and yes, the inevitable moped symphony. But it's manageable! I actually slept *through* a massive thunderstorm one night. That's a win in my book. The local area, mind you, is a real treat for food. So many options! Cheap, delicious street food… my jeans got tighter, I swear.
Kitchen? Fully equipped? Because I'm a terrible cook who likes to pretend I'm not.
The kitchen is *there*. It’s not a Michelin-star chef's playground, but it has the essentials. Fridge, microwave, hob… You can definitely fumble your way through cooking some instant noodles. I once tried to poach an egg there… let's just say it didn't go as planned. The important part? You can store those delicious Thai takeaway containers! So yeah, for a terrible cook, it's perfect. For a good cook... you might need to bring your own super-fancy knife set.
Internet? Fast? Because I need to stream my guilty pleasure… and, you know, do some work. (Mostly the guilty pleasure, though.)
The internet was pretty solid. Fast enough to stream without buffering (thank the heavens!), and reliable enough to actually get some work done… eventually. Okay, maybe a *little* bit of work. Mostly, I was binging that show with the talking animals. Judge me, I dare you!
Is there a pool? Because I dream of poolside cocktails, even if I never actually *go* swimming.
YES! There is a pool. It's nice. Clean. Good for taking Instagram photos, even if you're terrified of water like I am. I only dipped my toes in, but the vibe was good. And yes, you can absolutely get poolside cocktails. Just… don’t expect the hotel bar prices. The local 7-Eleven is your friend, and they sell everything.
Anything I should be warned about? Like, super-annoying noise from construction or… rogue monkeys? (Please say there are no rogue monkeys.)
Okay, real talk time. Construction is a constant in Bangkok. It’s just life. I didn’t experience anything *major* near the apartment—just the usual distant hammering. And thank god, no rogue monkeys. But… the traffic can be a beast. Be prepared for some extra travel time, especially during rush hour. Also, the air conditioning is amazing, but sometimes it's a little *too* amazing. Bring a sweater! Or two! I was shivering!
Overall verdict? Would you stay there again? Give me the unvarnished truth!
Look, I'm a cynical travel blogger. I critique everything, I complain about everything, and I spend a lot of time in dingy hostels. This place? I'd stay there again. Heck, I'd *live* there if I could afford it. Is it perfect? Nah. But for the price, the space, the location, and the general "not feeling like you're being suffocated by a Bangkok shoebox"... yeah. Definitely worth it. Consider me a convert. Just… don’t let my partner near that marble. They might try to elope with it. A+ (with a side of "needs more chocolate").
