What's the best way to travel from Baiyoke Boutique Hotel to Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel?

Thanks!!

Easiest way is to take a taxi! No, not being sarcastic but that is the easiest way.
Take Rachaprarop rd to Ratchadamri rd, same road to Silom Rd, you should see the Dusit Thani Hotel on the corner of that intersection. Down Silon Rd until it ends, take a right past the Shangri La hotel, the Oriental Hotel and another block or two to the Royal Orchid Hotel. Royal Orchid sit right at the end of Si Phraya rd.
In traffic it should take you about 20-30 minutes, maybe a bit more if traffic is bad.
God luck, hope that helped.

That helped a lot!
i was just worried on getting conned by the taxi driver >.<

But your detailed route description helped loads!

Yeah in the "good ole days" you could just negiotiate, you still can but just demand the meter. Sometimes they wont and you'll just have to find another taxi but that's not a big problem either. Also, have you hotel flag one down for you. Use one from the street, not a hotel one or it'll cost double or triple usually.
Also, once you get there, there are maps everywhere free, and MRT maps. You may have to walk a bit but you can do it by MRT and walk a few blocks and still get there. Depends on how fast and how hot it is!
Good luck and have fun!

thanks!!
any idea if taxis provide receipts?
as i'm there for a conference, and i'm planning to make a claim for my transport expenses :)
