Just got my ASQ reservations
Looking forward to my trip; Just wondering if anyone can suggest hotel with softest bed (& pref quiet by midnight) near UD Town (day/night/nutty is fine). I've stayed at the central mall hotel, those were too hard, at least they were ~5 years ago. If there's nothing considered soft there, suggestions on a place to get a topper that's not too expensive (as I would only be there like 2 weeks).
Re: Just got my ASQ reservations
I always found Pannarai beds to be really comfortable. Never bothered by any noise, particularly if you get a room poolside, but with the current restrictions in place nowhere is busy enough to cause a commotion anyway.
Siam Grand was excellent too but I think a bit far away for you

Re: Just got my ASQ reservations
Your post is a little confusing (to me at least) - are you looking for an ASQ hotel in Udon, or for an Udon hotel post-ASQ?
Re: Just got my ASQ reservations
I might have interpreted it incorrectly but my take is the OP has secured the ASQ reservations (thread title) so the trip to Thailand is definitely on with the intention to visit Udon after quarantine so suggestions for hotels.
I’ve not heard of any but are there any hotels in Udon for ASQ?

No.
That's why I thought it best to clarify. I assumed he meant post ASQ in Udon, until he said he would only be there 2 weeks - which is the ASQ time.

I see that AEK Udon is offering Alternative Hotel Quarantine (AHQ) packages.Niggly wrote: ↑April 29, 2021, 10:38 amI might have interpreted it incorrectly but my take is the OP has secured the ASQ reservations (thread title) so the trip to Thailand is definitely on with the intention to visit Udon after quarantine so suggestions for hotels.

Either way, you are spot on with your earlier assessment of there being bugger all action to be close to, Soi Sampan or otherwise.
The OP needs to have a decent quantity of face masks to get through the first few days and while he's buying booze for drinking 'at home'. Otherwise, they are easily available at the usual outlets.

Re: Just got my ASQ reservations
Cant confirm but earlier in the pandemic the Prajaktra hotel was lined up to be a quarantine hotel .. as Tam posted AEK appear to be which makes real sense as they have the AEK apartments attached to the hospital.Niggly wrote: ↑April 29, 2021, 10:38 amI might have interpreted it incorrectly but my take is the OP has secured the ASQ reservations (thread title) so the trip to Thailand is definitely on with the intention to visit Udon after quarantine so suggestions for hotels.

Re: Just got my ASQ reservations
^^^ don’t you think if the OP had “just got my ASQ reservations” he wouldn’t need to be looking for a hotel for quarantine? Just because 2 weeks is mentioned doesn’t mean it’s likely to be ASQ
Anyway, crack on with your full clarity of the OPs intentions, I won’t lose any sleep over saying the Pannarai has comfortable beds (pun intended) & he doesn’t end up booking a room there for whatever reason

Re: Just got my ASQ reservations
Assuming the OP title was just an eager opening to post about accommodation for a 2-week Udon stay AFTER ASQ, what's the name of the hotel on Sampan that opened maybe in the last three years and got some good initial reviews from some members? Is it the Old Inn? Red brick, industrial themed place?
Re: Just got my ASQ reservations
Yes the Old Inn is an industrial warehouse style accommodation. I can’t comment on bed softness though, never stopped there.
The Boy liked @Home Udon when he visited.
I can also recommend the 9D beds but it’s a bit far out
We drove down Sampan yesterday & it looked like the Banbua Grand was being gutted. Hardly been open anytime because of Covid so I guess they’ve given up now.

Re: Just got my ASQ reservations
How would an ASQ hotel in Udon work for long haul travellers? The hotel would have to send a private vehicle to transit the passenger from BKK.
Re: Just got my ASQ reservations
Having done ASQ in Bangkok, having worked COE/ASQ through the embassy in DC, I'm pretty confident in saying that ASQ isn't going to happen in Udon. Phuket's possible because there are/were direct international flights to Phuket. Udon's way off the radar for that sort of thing to happen.
Re: Just got my ASQ reservations
I assumed that the OP was requesting a hotel that would meet his requirements after completing ASQ probably in Bangkok, but than I may be wrong , as so many think I am a complete idiot. Which says a lot judging by some of the replies from others.

Another reason is that, as I understand it, an ASQ hotel cannot take other guests. I doubt that there would be sufficient demand to allow an Udon hotel to become solely ASQ.
Re: Just got my ASQ reservations
^^ i don't believe you can come from Laos currently as a foreign tourist? But don't take my word for it.
There were no ASQ hotels in Udon on the ASQ list when i checked last month. Closed to Udon was Buriram.

Re: Just got my ASQ reservations
WTF is so hard about the OP. He is looking for comfortable accomodation here in Udon after leaving ASQ.
To him I recommend the Pannarai. In saying that at 1400 Baht/night may not fit his budget.

Re: Just got my ASQ reservations
I think they’re feeling the squeeze (as all in the hospitality industry) as it was certainly 1400 + baht a night before but they’re down to 900 from 1st MayBandung_Dero wrote: ↑April 29, 2021, 4:38 pmTo him I recommend the Pannarai. In saying that at 1400 Baht/night may not fit his budget.

Re: Just got my ASQ reservations
Just in case you missed it, AEK Udon is offering AHQ and not ASQ.
If you have questions, e-mail AEK Udon but don't expect a fast response. They haven't responded to my earlier query regards PCR testing.
