Stopped before Phuket – Review of Rembrandt Hotel Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand – Tripadvisor
Just had two nights here before heading to phuket for couple of weeks. Thana, was a help. Great hotel. Great staff clean room with massive bed. But this location is good. A fun ride in to the river and you are right by all the temples and the palace .. Large bathroom with shower and bath and a view over the city.. The rep for KUONI.. The drive in by taxi took a while with traffic but don’t think you can avoid that with Bangkok.
Happy to tell you where and what to see. Fun and friendly and great local knowledge. We would use this hotel again if we are in Bangkok. Show you maps even giving you a mobile number if you get stuck. Only had one meal in the hotel at the Italian restaurant. We had a 3 cause special off including a glass wine each all for £45 not bad for a hotel I don’t think. Cocktails we good and an amazing view. Top class! Well done! Service was top class as was the food and good prices too. We also sat on the roof do drinks until midnight drinking cocktails watching the city lights. The hotel also got a great pool that’s really clean.
See more pictures of Corvettes. Chevy claimed 0-60-mph times of a mere 3.9 seconds and a run to the quarter mile in just 12.4 seconds at 114 mph. By comparison, the fastest recorded times for the ZR-1 were 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.8 seconds at 111 mph. Significantly, the LS6 now matched the rated output of the highest-powered LT5 from the fabled ZR-1, but because of a higher power-to-weight ratio, the Z06 was a quicker car.
In addition, new higher-performance brake pads were added in front for improved lining durability and better high-performance fade resistance. These revisions contributed significantly to the $2,850 price increase for 2002, meaning thrill-seekers now needed to pony up $49,705 to command the Z06’s hair-raising abilities. Otherwise, changes were minor for 2002: An in-dash AM/FM/CD player was made standard on coupes and convertibles, making the AM/FM/cassette head unit only available with the optional 12-disc CD changer. As if that wasn’t enough, Chevy also made the Corvette’s optional Head-Up Display standard on the Z06. LS6 engine muscled up to 405 horsepower. Nevertheless, the car was selling at a rapid pace.
Automatic transmission models received a lighter-weight cooler case that was now made out of cast aluminum instead of stainless steel. Tearing up the track, a Corvette C5-R, driven by Ron Fellows, Johnny O’Connell, and British driver Oliver Gavin, was victorious in the GTS class at the 2002 12 Hours of Sebring, the Corvette’s 14th class win in the event’s 50-year history and the first win in four tries for the specially modified C5-R. Finally, the cast-aluminum stabilizer links added to the Z06 were now included with the optional Z51 Performance Handling Package.
For the 2002 Corvette, the 5.7-liter LS6 engine received an additional 20 horses, bringing the small-block V-8 up to a mighty 405 bhp (a healthy 71 bhp per liter). Torque was also up by another 15 lb-ft, now rated at 400 lb-ft at 4,800 rpm. These improvements came about as a result of modifications to make the LS6 breathe more freely, including a new cam profile that allowed the engine’s intake and exhaust valves to open .7mm further than before. New hollow-stem valves, a low-restriction mass-airflow sensor, and a new low-restriction air cleaner also contributed to the power boost.
