London is the finest one example of cross culture and civilization. Every year thousands of people with different purposes come to London city. There are many must see sights in London like Buckingham palace, the houses of parliament, the tower of London, the millennium wheel, Greenwich observatory and Madame Tussaud’s wax museum. Some other centers of attraction for the tourist in London are art galleries and off course city’s night life. But, staying in London may not be a cup of tea for everyone. Perhaps, it is the most expensive city in the world. But think again, because one may be wrong with this opinion. There are many cheap hotels in London which are providing the best services.

Basically the term ‘cheap’ depends upon financial condition of individual. Someone may afford five or seven star hotels. But, those visitors who can not afford, they have alternate in form of cheap hotels which do not have any star tag but they may be ten times or even more than ten times cheaper than the five or seven star hotels. Such hotels are mostly situated in Bayswater, Victoria and King Cross districts of London. Victoria and Bayswater are very close to central London so these are traditionally favorite area of cost conscious tourists.

Travelers must be very conscious while choosing the cheap hotels in London. They should not forget that roses always come with thorns. It may be a very expensive time to spend the night in any cheap hotels. For instance, King Cross district has poor reputation. Hence, one must avoid this location.

Cheap hotels used to scale themselves as three or four star hotels although they don’t provide such facilities. Hence, one should not always go with the star tags. Security issue is also a major concern with cheap hotels. So, visitors must be carefully about their belongings while staying in cheap hotels. These hotels may promise the nutritious and delicious breakfast with the cheapest price but one must know that it may not be as per the expectation. Quantity and quality criteria are not defined here. Cleanliness is also a very crucial factor while choosing a cheap hotel. Mostly, it has been seen that reasonably priced hotels do not provide clean toilet and bathroom. Hence one should try to check at least clean linens and carpeting on the floor.

Wise travelers must know to check travel certificates before selecting the places. Some sites are also available on the net which show customer’s feedback about cheap hotels. Hence one must visit such sites and have some ideas about the cheap hotels.

London is already known as the most expensive destination and 2012 Olympic may leap it towards a new height which may be bad for the reputation of London city. Hence all eyes are looking towards cheap hotels and their management. The good thing is that culture, media and sport departments have unveiled multi agency strategy entitled: “Winning – A Tourism Strategy for 2012 and Beyond”. Hence, it will definitely control the high price of hotels and promote cheap hotels.

An affordable vacation, that will be enjoyable, and good quality, and somewhere like a beachfront all inclusive resort in a tropical destination sounds just exactly what is needed this year. Therefore it is worth taking a close look at an affordable beachfront vacation in an Antigua All Inclusive Resort called Blue Heron by Rex Resorts. This ticks all the boxes and could even be a good choice for an Antigua Honeymoon.

The Blue Heron by Rex Resorts sits on one of Antigua’s nicest and quiet white sand beaches at Johnson’s Point in the South West corner of the island. It is an adult's only resort, which immediately makes it stand out as an obvious choice for an Antigua Honeymoon.
With only 64 rooms, divided into 5 Deck Rooms overlooking the garden, 35 Garden Rooms, some with a seaview, and 19 Beachfront Rooms, the Blue Heron by Rex Resorts is a small hotel and therefore prides itself on being personal and intimate. As a guest there is the all inclusive option, but in fairness this only includes local drinks and not premium brands. In addition the rooms are large but quite basic, are kept very clean, with towels changed every day, and the beds are very comfortable.

A valid point that needs to be raised here, whilst on the subject of the rooms. You could if you looked hard enough find some really critical comments about the rooms, but it is important to remember that what you looked for and booked was an affordable vacation.

That is what you have got at the Blue Heron by Rex Resorts, which is a small, very friendly, quite simple oceanfront hotel, probably no more than a two or three star.
If the beach is more important than the fittings in your room and en-suite, then the Blue Heron by Rex Resorts is the right place for you.<br />
Being a beachfront Resort it is reassuring to know that the beach is quite magnificent, and totally uncrowded, giving the hotel a lovely setting. The beautiful turquoise sea is clean and warm, and the tranquillity without screaming children around is blissful.

Being a small hotel with limited restaurants, you will find that meal choices are a bit limited, especially if you have booked for two weeks. There are at least two restaurants that are within walking distance and as most sensible guests will have organised car hire, then the world of Antigua is your proverbial oyster, and there are plenty of good restaurants available to you.

The staff at the Blue Heron by Rex Resorts are very helpful, and keen to be of assistance all the time. This is a big plus, and elevates an affordable vacation into a very good one. For this to happen, you need to be the kind of guest who prefers to chat to the staff, as opposed to ordering them about. It’s amazing what a kind word does for you.

As you can see an affordable vacation does have shortcomings, but when you are beachfront at Blue Heron by Rex Resorts, looking out onto paradise, the room is clean and functional, the staff are terrific, and you really don’t want to be clubbing because this is your Antigua Honeymoon, then you could have made a very good choice.</p><strong>About the Author:

Hotels in Sathon are Bangkok hotels in a location of prime residential and commercial properties consisting of 5 star hotels, serviced apartments, embassies, posh apartments, schools, churches and private hospitals. Of the few canals left in Bangkok, two of them are in Sathon, an area with a long and rich history.

A major road linking Thonburi on the west bank of the Chao Phraya to the city center, Sathon Road actually consists of two roads; North Sathon and South Sathon separated by a narrow canal that’s hardly noticeable in the heavy traffic. Our story begins with this canal.

Back in 1892, 24 years into the reign of King Rama V, Chao Sua Yom a wealthy Chinese immigrant was commissioned to dig a canal linking the Chao Phraya River near Wat Yannawa to Hua Lam Pong canal. The earth from the excavation was used to build a road running along each bank of the new canal. Locals called this canal Chao Sua Yom Canal and the road Phor Yom Road.

For his enterprise, Chao Sua Yom was granted to the rights to the land north and south of the canal. In recognition of his services, Chao Sua Yom was awarded the royal title Luang Sathon Rachayuk and the names of the road and canal were subsequently changed to Sathon, in his honor.

The land in Sathon was parceled off into smaller lots and sold to rich merchants, both foreign and Thai, who built European styled mansions. Immigrants flocked to the less fashionable areas to cultivate orchards and plantations.

In the following century however, Sathon went through a complete transformation. The mushrooming of hotels, condominiums, serviced apartments, banks and offices turned Sathon into a prime district in Bangkok. The main Sathon Road hosts some of Bangkok’s best; Banyan Tree, Metropolitan Hotel and Sukhothai Hotel, the pride of the hotels in Sathon.

The embassies caught the trend as well. Twenty countries have established their embassies in Sathon Road; Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Myanmar, New Zealand, Oman, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovak, Taiwan, the Vatican and the United Arab Emirates.

Many of the sois off Sathon Road, where some of the hotels in Sathon are located, have their stories too.

Would guests at Somerset Park Suan Plu, a serviced apartment is in Soi Suan Plu, have imagined that the area used to be betel plantations and orchards cultivated by Chinese immigrants at the turn of the 20th century. Some of their descendants still live here in the shop houses that line the street. You can occasionally hear the strains of Teochew, a southern Chinese dialect, among the older residents.

Few visitors would have realized the significance of the road names; Soi Suan Plu (betel plantation) and the connecting Nang Linchi Road (Mrs Lychee).

In the seemingly endless sub-branching of sois, Soi Phra Pinit off Suan Plu is the site of M.R. Kukrit Pramoj�s House, a set of traditional Thai houses. Designated a national heritage, the house was the former home of the 13th Prime Minister of Thailand in the mid 1970s. It’s open to visitors on weekends and public holidays. The Yellow Ribbon Hills Executive Mansion, a comfortable hotel/apartment popular with the Japanese, is in this quiet residential lane.

Soi Saladaeng, off North Sathon Road, was part of a large tract of royal land that extended all the way to Lumphini Park and Siam Square. The area got its name from Sala Daeng, the red roofed railway station of the old Paknam line ran by a Danish company linking the city with the port at the mouth of the Chao Phraya.

Saladaeng, is now an up market area popular with cafes, restaurants, condominiums and serviced apartments. The Jim Thompson Saladaeng Caf� is here. So are three of the hotels in Sathon; Centre Point Saladaeng, Chin House Luxurious Residence and Siri Sathorn Hotel.

At the junction of Convent Road and North Sathon Road, there’s an old Anglican church, Christ Church, built in 1906 by the English residents in Bangkok from a land grant by King Rama V. Unico Grande Sathorn Boutique Service Residence in Soi Pipat off Convent Road is not far away from the walled convent of the Carmelite order of nuns who gave Convent Road its name.

Every hotel tries to establish a distinct signature. In the case of the Evergreen Laurel Hotel, at the junction of North Sathon and Soi 6, its Chinese restaurant serves one of the best Hong Kong tim sum in Bangkok.

The other canal in the area is the Chong Nonsi which runs in a north south direction perpendicular to the Sathon canal. When a road was built along the Chong Nonsi, its name was commonplace, Liap Khlong Chong Nonsi, literally the road skirting the Chong Nonsi canal.

In 1996, the prestige of this road was enhanced when it was renamed Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra Road, (na-ra-thi-wat ra-ja-na-ga-rin), after Kromma Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra, the royal title of HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana, the elder sister of HM the King.

To help non-Thais avoid tripping over their tongues, the name of this road is sometimes spelt as Narathiwat Rajanakarin. Oakwood City Residence, a member of the international apartment chain, is located further down Naradhiwas Road.

Overhead, the skytrain from Silom Road turns into Naradhiwas, stops at the Chong Nonsi station before it turns right into Sathon Road, passing the Ascott Sathorn, another of the hotels in Sathon.

The St Louis Hospital nearby is a non-profit hospital named after King Louis IX of France, the only French king to achieve sainthood. When Bishop Louis Vey founded the hospital in 1898, he provided land for a church in future. His wish was fulfilled much later when the St Louis Church was built in 1957.

Coincidentally the priest responsible for the construction of the church was Bishop Louis Chorin. So it’s no surprise that the soi nearby, though officially named Soi Sathon 13, is commonly known as Soi St Louis.

In 1982, the Taksin Bridge, named after King Taksin of Thonburi, spanning the Chao Phraya was completed, linking Sathon Road with Thonburi. Sathon Road was widened to take the extra traffic and Sathon canal reduced in width. Naradhiwas Road and the Chong Nonsi canal were similarly affected. Though considerably narrower, Sathon and Chong Nonsi are two of the remaining canals in Bangkok.

Few of the old mansions remain, their places taken by condominiums. The orchards and plantations are gone. The Hua Lam Pong canal was filled up to build Rama IV Road where Pinnacle Lumpinee Hotel, a budget hotel not far from the Lumphini subway station, keeps a respectful distance from her 5 star neighbors in the prime embassy row.

There’s an old photo in the Bangrak Museum of what Sathon Road was like in the early 1900s. It’s a scene of old Fords chugging down the road, boats being rowed in the canal and perhaps the occasional bullock cart.

Chao Sua Yom’s decision to dig a canal south of Silom more than a century ago has paid off handsomely. He couldn’t have foreseen then that the road he built would have some of the heaviest traffic in Bangkok a century later. Or that the area would be home to the hotels in Sathon, the crown jewels among Bangkok’s premium hotels.

Hotels in Sathon is part of a series of articles on the historical significance of the locations of Bangkok Hotels. These articles can be found in Tour Bangkok Legacies a historical travel site on people, places and events that left their mark in the landscape of Bangkok.
