"After landing, I found my "hotel" in a corner of a busy walkway. There were eight capsules stacked two high, somewhat like bunk beds. Expecting limited service, I was surprised to find an employee present to check me in. They quickly showed me how to set codes for my capsule door and luggage locker, then gestured for me to climb inside."
"The space was roughly 7 feet long and 3 feet wide. At 5'9", I was immediately comfortable, but a taller person might have felt cramped. Closing the door felt like shutting out the world. In an instant, I went from the chaos of a busy airport to a dark, cozy cocoon. Inside, I found amenities including bottled water, tissues, earplugs, and multiple USB ports to charge my devices."
A traveler with an eight-hour overnight layover in Bangkok chose a $50 Avagard capsule in the international terminal to avoid airport chairs and an inexpensive hotel. The pods sat in stacks of eight, two high, with staff available to check guests in and set codes for capsule doors and luggage lockers. Each pod measured about 7 by 3 feet and included bottled water, tissues, earplugs, multiple USB ports, and slippers; shoes were not permitted inside. Closing the door created a dark, cozy cocoon that enabled surprisingly good rest, making the option appealing for future solo trips but not for traveling with companions.
