To counter our very plugged-in age, there’s such a thing as a tech-free vacation, a purge as it were. Well, Haven’t Met Silom (www.hotel-hm.com) has turned that idea on its head.

 

At this new Bangkok hotel, technology is used to augment your stay. Each room comes with a 4G tablet loaded with the hotel’s own travel app, which lists some top Bangkok destinations. On the app’s city map are places to eat, from fine-dining to street food, as well as hip bars and popular tourist attractions. There’s even an online chat room for guests to trade opinions and experiences.

 

Haven’t Met is right under BTS Chong Nonsi and just a short walk from Silom’s many food and nightlife locations. Room starts at B1,500/night.

 

For those wanting to stay in, the hotel has a rooftop restaurant called Cloud 9 that Thai Fusion food beside a pool bar with a fully-armed cocktail menu. It’s a cool spot to take in the bright lights and cool city breeze.
