Delectable Dining and Decadent Dreams in BangkokBy Gregory Smyth Bangkok is a city that many are forced to visit their first time, with hundreds of flights stopping over here. However, it is a city that few can resist re-visiting, with its many hundreds of delicious dining options, and luxurious hotels in incredibly convenient locations all available at bargain prices by Western standards. Foods range from the exotic moon cakes, bird nest and shark fin soups, and dim sum to McDonalds, and hotels near Suvarnabhumi airport in incredibly convenient locations offer peaceful luxury, smiling staff and attentive service. Her we look at some of Bangkok's must-eat dining and must-sleep airport hotel rooms! You won't want to be carrying your suitcases from roadside stall to roadside stall, trying out the best that Thai cooking has to offer - so the first thing you'll want to organize is your hotel room near Suvarnabhumi airport! The Novotel Suvarnabhumi is in an incredibly convenient location, less than 400m from the airport doors. However, that does not mean you need to resign yourself to carrying your luggage - this airport hotel in Bangkok offers a free 24hr shuttle service from door to door. If this is your first trip, and you are simply making a stopover, you can nap and refresh yourself with a very convenient half-day rate - just check with the desk at the Bangkok airport hotel. A health spa with deliciously scented, earthy-to-heavenly textured treatments, wraps and scrubs will have you ready for anything in Bangkok, or if you prefer to DIY your refreshing and relaxation, there is a state of the art fitness center, spa and swimming pool. If you happen to be in Thailand for business, this Suvarnabhumi airport hotel in Bangkok has wireless internet, a business center, choice of 5 meeting rooms or a grand ballroom, as well as Jacuzzis for informal meetings! Siam Piman hotel is another airport hotel in Bangkok, a little farther away from the airport and in the budget rather than luxury category if that is what you are after. The rooms each have their own balcony, and the hotel is still far enough away from the center of Bangkok for you to be able to enjoy the fresh air. The surrounds of your airport hotel room at Siam Piman are lush, lovely green wildernesses, while the rooms are decorated in Thai contemporary style. And once you've relieved yourself of the burdens of travel at your Bangkok international airport hotel, you'll be ready to hit the city streets for some delicious dining. Look out for Asian exotic delicacies like bird's nest soup (yes, it truly is made from birds nests and 700 years of Chinese tradition have proven many initial Western fears unfounded!). The nests are found deep inside inland caves in the far south, and climbers endure perilous conditions to retrieve this ingredient, which is said to have extraordinary medicinal properties. Shark fin soup is again, quite controversial, but an authentic Eastern tradition. The fin is boiled for a full working day, and mixed with other delicious ingredients like ginger root, spring onion, chicken, soy sauce and Shaohsing wine. Portions can be more than your hotel room's price, though! Moon cakes are another traditional Asian delicacy available in Bangkok, with an amzing contrast of sweet and salty flavors, with a sweet outer crust, jujube paste, lotus seed and red bean paste, as well as salted egg yolks some of the common ingredients in a variable recipe. Venture out of your airport hotel rooms for authentic treats like this, and you won't be disappointed!
