BKK for 13 hrs
We may be altering our trip to include a side trip to Calcutta for my Husband to do some work for a few days first. Looks like we will have 13 hrs between our arriving flight and departing for calcutta. What to do?? 1030am - 1130 pm This will be in late Oct so unsure as to which airport we will even be at?! Have thought about airport day rooms, getting out to a nearby hotel for a few hours. Don't fancy trying to do anything in the way of sites or shopping we will be back in BKK a week later.
Thanks for any thoughts.

For most airport hotel day rooms, you can either leave by 6 PM or pay a full days rate. If you are at the "old" airport, the Rama Gardens might be a pleasant place to relax by the pool - it is quite reasonable even at the full days rate - they have a free shuttle to the airport too. Keep in mind that your total hotel stay will be only about 9 hours when immigration, customs, transfers and arriving 2 hours before departure are taken into account.

Thanks Craig I had thought of the Rama as I had stayed there on an overnight before. I realise our stay will be that short which is why we don't want to really do anything just get some sleep and a shower and some fresh air. I guess since we may not know which airport for a while I could just hold tight and assume we can arrange something closer to the time.
Thanks again
