Refuge in Bangkok
After doing some research on where to accomodate my family of four in Bangkok, I short listed 8 hotels that had a pool for the kids, and as a cool oasis from the afternoon heat. Had to book online to get the special prices, as they were unable to match them at the reception counter as a walk-in customer. Had to wait 1-2 hours for the confirmation from the internet booking agent, to the hotel, before they would let us check in, but they looked after our luggage while we explored. Close to skytrain, subway, and street life. Free upgrade to a clean and spacious room. No adjoining room for the kids, but put them 2 rooms down the corridor. Hotel always happy to accomodate our requests, night and day. Would definitely go back.
