Yes, I meant akward and embarassing for me, especially if you take a different girl back every night you are there.
So here is another question. If your hotel package includes free breakfast buffet for two, do girl-friendly hotels mind if you take your pro to breakfast with you?
Awkward and embarrassing maybe for you but not for the girl as she has likely done it many times before, but this move by the hotel is for your protection.

Also for breakfast not a problem at all, just make sure at check-in you ask for two breakfast tickets / allowance.
I recently noticed a lot of girls don't want to hang around for the (free) breakfast! I guess they just want to get their money and get the hell out. May be they don't like to stay a minute more with me (or they figure I might ask for more horizontal action!). Or they don't like the farang hotel breakfast, or may be the funny looks they get. Who knows!
The Citadines Sukhumvit 23, just up the road from Soi Cowboy on Soi 23, has got to be about the most GF-iest GF hotel there is. After a certain hour, the reception staff goes home so you use your key card to enter the lobby and go up to your room. So, if you come home with a new friend, no "walk of shame", no need to give an I'd card, no need to pay any joiner fee. Just use your key, open the main door, and take the elevator up to your room. Piece of cake. I'm not sure exactly what time the lobby closes down, but I got home around midnight.
So here is another question. If your hotel package includes free breakfast buffet for two, do girl-friendly hotels mind if you take your pro to breakfast with you?Nope! Try checking out the breakfast scene at Nana Hotel. They have a relatively large dining area (and surprisingly an excellent breakfast selection) where you can see many men with their various dates enjoying breakfast. It's quite a scene and everyone there seem to be real comfortable.

Not preaching to anyone but I urge everyone to register your guests for you own protection. You never know what can happen, I have know a buddy who wished he had registered his guest.

The girls I have met don't like the western breakfast, unless it has some Pad Thai choices. I have had them charge me if I only booked for one person.
Hi. I have been suggested by frineds. For Novotal, siam square. For Cit center access, malls, sit seeing. Etc.
Want to check.
1) Is it GF hotel, any restrictions.
2) What is best pickup points walkable to hotel or atleast nearby.
This is first trip, so please advice.
Any other hotel in this or nearby area. I heard there is possibility of getting some free nights (1-2 days) on stay of 8-10 days. Are these kind of offers common at BKK and if yes, please siggest where to search / book. Any website.
Thanks for all support given here.You report about sonagachi helped me lot when I was in kolkata. I think sukhumvit area will be best for you and specially soi 5-15. My favorite is soi 11 as it is middle of action, food, fun everything and lot of good GF Hotel like Ambassdor, Grand business inn, Grand President in soi 11. I will be also BKK for 11-15th October.

Firstly yes I did RTFF, however I could not find the answer I was looking for.
In the past I have stayed a few times at the Citadines on Soi 11 and have been pretty happy. It suites my lifestyle pretty well.
However during my last stay one of the other guests said that he prefers the Citadines Soi 8 hotel better. I was getting into the tuktuk when we spoke and could not follow up any further.
Has any one had experience of both hotels and could please comment on which is the best and why. I plan to come back in November and may try the Soi 8 location.
Thanks in advance.

CiaoAmbassador is definitely not GF. I believe they charge THB 600 or 800 as joiner fee. Avoid this hotel as it is just not worth paying this joiner fee.

BBThe problem with the Soi 8 hotel is that it is very deep into the Soi. A long walk to the action. In fact, they offer a tuk-tuk to Sukhumvit. If you don't mind that, it is pretty nice and quiet.

BBHi Boater.
I have stayed recently at both in the last year. Both are quite new and very well presnted. Almost identical and the location is simply the only difference. The Soi 8 location is a decent walk to the action so Soi 11 is a little more handy. Soi 8 is slightly cheaper likely due to location. Soi 8 has a free tuktuk service if you are not energetic.
Both are great value, GF and well appointed.
Cheers.

Ambassador is definitely not GF. I believe they charge THB 600 or 800 as joiner fee. Avoid this hotel as it is just not worth paying this joiner fee.If Ambassador is not GF than definetly I am a lucky person bcoz I stayed this hotel 7 times. 4 times in main wing and 3 times in tower wing but never paid or asked to paid joiner fee.
I agree fully with Run, I checked v late and checked v early and someone was always at reception during my stay.

I have stayed at citadine on sukhumvit 23 and liked it a lot but the walk of shame is a stumbling block. I am not comfortable with walking with new babes every few hours in front of receptionists.
So.
1. Is it possible for me to provide hotel and room address to girl and expect her to come up to my room by herself?
2. Can someone please confirm if they insist on registering guests during day or night time?
3. What other GF hotels exist on sukhu 23 or nearby and is there anyone where one can avoid the walk of shame such as in having elevator away from the reception area?
Many thanks in advance.
Citrus on suk 22 have lifts that goes direct in room floors from ground as the receptionist
Is located on 1st floor.

Is it possible for me to provide hotel and room address to girl and expect her to come up to my room by herself?May basic advice to you is to relax. The hotel staff have seen it all a million times before. You are nothing special, so relax.
But to answer your question, no, she can not come to the room by herself. First, she will probably get stopped by the front desk. Second, for security, she needs a room key in the elevator to access your floor.

So folks, is there any hotel nearby which does not have this "walk of shame" feature? .

This could also have another adverse effect, on the price they quote you. I know as part of their sizing up their prey, P4P girls always ask about punter's hotel first, it quickly shows his paying power. Maybe that's why she was happy !Fair point, some hotels do indicate a bigger wallet. But having stayed at the Grand President (a dump if you ask me) I certainly see her point, and in the end we agreed on a very fair price after she beat me at pool.

So folks, is there any hotel nearby which does not have this "walk of shame" feature? .I found it very convenient that I could enter Grand Millenium coming from Soi Cowboy through the backdoor entrance. This meant avoiding the reception before reaching the elevator. There was security smiling at me but nobody cares for an I'd card or something. Since it was my very first night as a sex tourist in BKK (two years ago) I was a bit shy.
But then again you shouldn't do this with freelancers from the street.

but then again you shouldn't do this with freelancers from the street.i walked in past reception at admiral premier at 1am with a girl on each arm (not ****). the receptionist girl is used to it all and paid no attention whatsoever. she had better things to do. i could have entered the elevator via the car park below, but seriously, what is the point? hotels have cameras on the various floors and often in elevators too.
if there is no problem with the staff, it isn't a walk of shame. i have no shame. if i really fancied the receptionist, i might then have 2nd thoughts, but i'm too old.
i probably wouldn't take 2 freelancers like this.
I am going to Thailand for the first time and staying at Pullman Hotel. Does anyone know if the hotel is gf?

but even at landmark where they check girls' i'd or at grande centre point ratchadamri it wasn't much of a problem.

So I've narrowed down my choices on hotels for my first trip to Bangkok to 5 hotels. Does anyone want to help me out? BTW, I've done a ton of research through TripAdvisor, Agoda and ISG Bangkok Forums.
- Grand Millennium. Good Reviews from everyone but the most expensive out of the 5.
- Dream Hotel. Good Reviews from everyone.
- Jasmine Executive. Good Review.
- Grand President. Good location.
- Admiral Premier. Rooms and hotel look nice.
The Dream, Jasmine, GP and Admiral are all about the same price BTW. Also I tried to find locations near both Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy.
Any help would be appreciated.
Does anyone want to help me out? Grand Millennium, Dream Hotel. etc (clip)Depending on your expected dates you might check wotif (dot) com for their "mystery deals." Often they feature both the Grand Millennium & Dream Hotels. I've gotten great deals on both in the past.
Good Suggestion! When I felt going upscale I've used wotif to get one of their 'mystery' deals to snag the G / M. Right now there is one, mystery deal, for the G / M at 3, 100 bt per night.

- I have stayed at the Grand Millennium and Admiral Premier. I can recommend both hotels but they are very different. Grand Millennium is more high class with modern rooms, a great location, and nice swimming pool, but do not pay more than $100 / night for a deluxe room. I also like Admiral Premier. AP has a good location 2. 5 blocks from Cowboy and Sukumvit down an interesting neighborhood soi, it has large suites in the upper price category, and a nice rooftop pool.
- You can stay at AP either to save money on a superior suite which is not nearly as nice as the Millennium deluxe room but is almost half the price, or go for the spaciousness of the Admiral Suite (65sq m) for a little less than a deluxe room at the Millennium. Stay at the Millennium for the 4. 5 * quality at a reasonable price. I don't see why anyone would prefer the Weston for example over the Grand Millennium. The rooms are in the same class. Actually the GM rooms are a little nicer than the Weston rooms and around 30% less in price.
- In other words, the Millennium is a more luxurious hotel than AP and entry level rooms are much nicer than the entry level rooms at AP, but nearly double the price. On the other hand the larger attractive suites at AP are luxurious with space and are great for entertaining your lady friends at a cost of a little less than the Millennium deluxe room.
- The choice is up to you. You can chose economy, 4.5 * modern luxury, or large living space. Both hotels are GF. AP offers free breakfast and free Wifi.
- By the way I just had a bit*ch of a time with the word editor of this forum. It would not recognize my paragraphs and I could not overide it.

We just have to put up with this mess. No blank line between aparagraphs does not seem to a desirable feature at all. The spelling correcter does horrible things to your sentences too. Forces everyone to reedit their posts.
Thread searches don't show posts in chronological sequence any more too. Ugly.

Good location if you want to be in the middle of the Sukhumvit action, but otherwise sort of a dump. The last time I stayed there I noticed the walls of the swimming pool had a film of filth on them. That was one of the reasons it was the last time. You can do a lot better.

FranphilLast June, I had a good stay at Citadines Hotel in Sukhumvit 23. Very nice hotel, clean and rather big room. Absolutely guestfriendly. Only 5 minutes walking away from Soi Cowboy and one stop on the Skytrain from Nana. Ask for a room with a single bed.
Rooftop swimmingpool and sun-loungers. The swimmingpool and sun-deck was not in big use, so it is a quiet spot to spend some private time with your tilac.
Greetings. Does anyone have suggestions on 2-bedroom apartment rentals for 3 nights? GF is obviously top priority. Many thanks in advance.
Do anyone nows someting abbout how it is in Ramada Hotel & Suites? I tink they have a nice swimmingpool also? Is this a nice hotel? And also Is it GF?

I will be back in BKK the next weeks. I was wandering if someone has already tried the hansar or the tenfaces.
I am looking for a decent hotel which is GF. Last time I was in BKK I was staying at the hansar and I was ok with it.
I still think it is a bit fare away from the action. But a very good 5* hotel.
Any opinion on this.
Or any recomendatipn on a 5* on sukhumivide.
Thanks.

The Marriott.I second that.
Recent 5 night stay at the Peninsula.
Very GF. 2 x nights I brought 2 girls back, one night 3 x girls, concierge / doorman did not bat an eyelid. Not too far from the front door to the lift.
One night I called in 2 girls from a previous encounter, all I had to do was call the concierge, tell them I had friends visiting. When the girls arrived, they called me and then brought them up to the room.
The hotel itself is a bit out of the way, but quiet and a nice setting, rooms are also nice. Complimentary wi-fi, should be standard in all class hotels, but sadly it's not; (although I'm glad I'm not there during the flood!
Cheers,
The Marriott. Where ever you stay get a high floor. The floods could be a problem.How high and why? Even in a worst case would you expect water above the lobby or even the second floor of most hotels?

And finally what would be good price for two persons in feb 2012, currently Taipen is $55 as against $69@CitadinesI don't know about Taipen but I can tell you the bed in Citadines is of a perfect quality.
Also, Citadines is an "aparthotel", meaning you really have a little apartment with small kitchen, sitting area, bedroom and bathroom. Ideal if you want to check out your new-found tirac's housekeeping and cooking skills.
PS: Make sure you ask for a room with ONE double bed or you risk having a room with TWO single beds.

I'm trying the AP today. I have mixed feelings about it.
Pros: Nice rooftop pool. Nice staff. Somewhat cheap with a special deal. 1850 a night for a Premier Studio (their bigger studio at 38 sqm). Close to Cowboy. Close to both BTS and MRT Asoke-Sukhumvit stations.
Cons: Low floors with special deal. Upgrades too expensive (4K a day, no thank you). Your "balcony" is useless. Views are crap.
Most awful though, there are NO MIRRORS in those rooms. There is a mirror as big as my torso hung high in the room. No other mirror except in the bathroom. So if you are a visual person like me, you won't get to see much of your action here. I've stayed in much cheaper rooms that all had a full length mirror on a closet door or something. Not here. This for me disqualifies the place for mongering purposes.I have stayed there the third time and usually I like it, but during my stay last week they had a construction next to it. Noise started at 07:30am. When I left they were finished to even the lot, but might be that they will start soon to build a house / hotel and than there will be noise every day for a longer time. Better to check before you book.

I'm currently staying there right now. It's a pretty good hotel with pretty good location near soi cowboy and I think one stop away from nana on the sky train.
The downside of this hotel is the Internet access. They've blocked off access to ISG. I'm currently using the free wifi from a restaurant up the street. Another downside is the distance from the hotel to the sky train and soi cowboy can take a toll on you. I'm pretty much sick of walking LOL

Where are you getting this rate from? Expedia and Agoda has Citadines, Soi 23 at $56.00 in 02-12.Agoda as I remember usually has a $10 booking fee, service charge, whatever they call it per day.
So remember to add that to the hotel charge. Making the above post $66 per day.
Expedia I've never booked with, would not be surprised the same applies.

Hi Fellas.
I am coming to BKK in feb. I've stayed at many hotels in BKK before. I have booked Furama Xclusive on soi 1.
Any reviews from comfort or mongering point of view.
Cheers!
I will have two little stays in Bangkok early-mid December. I have stayed before at Grand Millenium, Landmark, Tower Club Lebua and Grande Centre Point Ratchadamri. I did like Grand Millenium the most and will definitely stay there again for two nights. But that leaves another two nights where I might try something new. The hotel should be in the 4-5 stars class, girlfriendly and not too far away from the mongering areas. Any suggestions?
A lot of guys seem to by happy with Plaza Athenee or Marriott. What about the newly-opened hotels like Kempinski Siam or Hansar? Another option is to set aside the location importance, add a few bucks to the budget and go for the once in a lifetime experience by staying at The Peninsula (has some nice offers right now). Are there any nice massage parlours nearby Riverside where you can take girls out for LT to your hotel? I somehow fear that an one hour taxi plus boat ride with a girl from Soi Cowboy or Nana to the Peninsula might kill the vibes.
Thanks for your help!
I will have two little stays in Bangkok early-mid December. Any suggestions?Le Meridien on Surawong Road (across from Patpong) is very, very nice. It's an easy taxi ride to Nana or Soi Cowboy, too.
I've stayed there a couple of times this year for special occasions. Room amenities and breakfast is better than the Grand Millennium.
There are often great "mystery deals" on wotif (dot) com for this hotel.

Thanks for your help!I pretty much only stay at the Peninsula unless it's a very short visit and then I stay at the Hyatt Erwan (good combination of luxury and location and better than being near sewer-kumvit). In my humble opinion the Peninsula is the best hotel in BKK. The shuttle boats take 90 seconds to cross the river however, the ladies LOVE the ride – especially at night when there are many fully-lit river cruises running up and down. The shuttle boats come every 3 minutes and will take you to the hotels ShangraLa, Oriental and the Taksin MTS pier. If you get to know the boat captainsthey will accommodate you with different rides locally (unofficially). The shuttle boats and pier are completely unmanned by any girl-watching security so no I'd card necessary at all. If you stayed at the Lebua then the Peninsula is another 90 yards from there. When I arrive the first thing I do is stop at the ShangraLa and get a bunch of cards with the ShangraLa name and directions. From then on I show taxi drivers the ShanghraLa card and have them then take me there where I hop on the shuttle boat to the Pen.
The hotel itself is first class, the service is great as is the food. All the rooms have a great view of the river and if you stayed on New Years evethen their fireworks show is right in front of your window. Nothing beats sitting in front of a high window with a smoke in one hand, a drink in the other and a TG kneeling between your legs!
There's a helicopter pad on the top floor which is staffed by some very nice aviation enthusiasts and they will / may let you up for a great view.
The mini-bar used to be free (I stay in a large suite these days so mine's always free) but better check first. There's some local action but nothing worth staying there for specifically. For more on that let me know. Overall I would highly recommend trying it at least once.
Ps – there's also a custom shoe shop nearby which I've used many times and they are great.
Where are you getting this rate from? Expedia and Agoda has Citadines, Soi 23 at $56.00 in 02-12.I checked via hotels. Com and probably price line. Shows up as $65 which I don't think is justified.
Taipan@$51 sounds better. In any case I want to get a deal for a free night after 3 nights so am still looking.
I liked citadines 23 but it is not worth $66 in my opinion.

I pretty much only stay at the Peninsula unless it's a very short visit and then I stay at the Hyatt Erwan (good combination of luxury and location and better than being near sewer-kumvit). In my humble opinion the Peninsula is the best hotel in BKK.I think you may be right about the Pen. It is fine hotel, certainly one of the top 3 luxury hotels in BKK. But I also feel it is not the best hotel for playing the game. The location IS out of the way. First you have to take the hotel ferry to the BTS. Then you must take the Silom Skytrain to Siam Station and change trains to the Skytrain Sukhumvit which takes you to Nana and Asok. The trip takes a long time and at peak times you will be standing the whole way. I much prefer staying in a slightly less luxury Hotel and being walking distance or one or two stops from my favorite hunting grounds.
But again, the Pen is top drawer! Simply a 5 * plus hotel. I stayed there one time with my American GF a few years back and we (she) loved it. The river front restaurant is fantastic. The best prawn in hot red pepper sauce I ever ate. One more thing, the pool is in the shade most of the afternoon. The Oriental pool is much better for afternoon relaxing.
If you plan on bar hopping at night and still want the high end hotel experience then I suggest the 4 Seasons due to its more central location. Slightly lower down the food chain, but still very good is the Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel. The Marriott and the Westin are little lower down from there but still good quality business class hotels. For me, however, I am done with spending money on the high end hotels. All the hotels I mentioned above are better, but not that much better than the Grand Millennium which I just booked for $100 / night. The thing about Bangkok is there are many good hotels and some bargains can be had. It all depends what you are looking for.
@Natty Bumpo, Rjsss212 and Fon Tok:
Thanks for your detailed advice! That's exactly the information I was looking for.
While I still think Grand Millenium is a good compromise between classic mongering needs and a touch of class (breakfast buffet isn't that great but still miles ahead of Grande Centre Point and I really liked their room design) , I will look (either on my first or second stop in BKK) for something a bit more "classy".
Le Meridien looks interesting (I love big breakfast buffets) , but I am not convinced with the location yet. Peninsula has even worse location (having in mind that I'm a Soi Cowboy man) , but it may give me simply that outstanding experience. I was thinking about the Four Seasons and Renaissance (even though the "indoor pool" seems a bit weird to me) already. Hansar is supposed to have big suites but their interior design doesn't appeal to me (at least on pictures) , same goes for Plaza Athenee. At least on paper Dusit Thani, Sukhothai and Banyan Tree (girlfriendly?) are fantastic value for money offers. Do you have any experiences there? By now I would say Peninsula, Four Seasons and Banyan Tree (love to stay on higher floors) are close favourites.

Both are centrally located between Soi Cowboy / NEP and are girl friendly.
The Sheraton is slightly more upmarket and luxurious.

Doc50I prefer to use booking. Com since they have no booking fee and are absolutely transparent in the hotel cancellation conditions and tax / service charge information (not like many others). In my opinion currently the best hotel booking website.
@Natty Bumpo, Rjsss212 and Fon Tok:
Thanks for your detailed advice! That's exactly the information I was looking for.On my list for a while has been the Plaza Athenae. They seem to have some interesting suites and the location there on wireless Rd. makes it very convenient to Suk AND Lumpini park. I've always wanted to check out the nocturnal Lumpini pickins but just never had an excuse.
Anybody stayed there?
I checked via hotels. Com and probably price line. Shows up as $65 which I don't think is justified.
Taipan@$51 sounds better. In any case I want to get a deal for a free night after 3 nights so am still looking.
I liked citadines 23 but it is not worth $66 in my opinion.I used to use Agoda and other similar online sites but I quickly found that in order to show a low price they don't include the obligatory 10% service charge and 7% tax in their advertised rates.
So to properly compare prices you must add 17% to their rates. In addition, you must pay in advance, and even though they say they have a guarantee, when you have a problem they are very difficult to contact, and they already have your money.
On the other hand. Booking. Com includes the extra charges in their quoted rates, you don't need to pay in advance, and in most cases you can cancel up to 24 hours before your trip with NO penalty. The BEST site IMHO.
Thanks a lot for the valuable tip.

If you are considering the Four Seaons or Renaissance you should also look at the brand new St Regis which is next door to the four seasons and directly across the street from Ratchadamri sky train. I have not stayed there but it looks very nice. One of the hotel cars is a Bentley.

I liked citadines 23 but it is not worth $66 in my opinion.From your initial query, I gathered you had not stayed at Citadines, Soi 23 but I suppose not if you're saying it's not worth $66.00. How much is it worth then? $66.00 for a clean hotel/apartment type room with a kitchenette, free wired internet, a pool, a small gym, is GF and in the middle of the action with Cowboy in the vicinity is very reasonable. Taipan@ $51 or $55 may be the way to go for you.

Anybody stayed there?I have stayed at the Plaza Athenee perhaps 20 times. It is one of my favorite hotels anywhere. However, I have Starwood Platinum status which means I almost always get upgraded to a suite, and also get to use their fantastic lounge. The breakfasts are excellent as well. I don't have a complaint about the place although some might not like that you can't bring a guest for the free breakfast.
On the other hand I would think without status with the Starwood program and all that it brings the hotel would be good but not great.
As a Starwood guy, I also sometimes stay at Le Meridien for a change of pace. It is essentially right next to Patpong. With the upgrades to a suite, it is also a good choice for those with Starwood status, although there is no lounge (you do get to drink at the bar for free though from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, and also get great free breakfasts if you have Platinum status-and can bring a guest to the breakfast and the free drinks).
When I stayed at citadines 23 last time, somehow taipan seemed like more upscale. I guess it was because I thought that it is bigger, higher and may offer lot more privacy. I was a concerned with walk of shame at citadines 23 but have learnt not to care at all about that next time.
Also it looks like citadines has just one queen bed in rooms which may be a tight fit for two guys plus two gals. Hmmmmmmmm.

So, no guest breakfast and Starwood status aside, what makes the Plaza Athenae less than "great"?
Sounds good. So, no guest breakfast and Starwood status aside, what makes the Plaza Athenae less than "great"?Nothing in particular really. My "great" experiences at the Plaza Athenee have included all the Starwood status perks (such as a suite upgrade, and lounge access (which also includes becoming friends with the lounge staff and so forth) and it is therefore difficult for me to know how I would judge the hotel if I didn't have these perks. I'm quite certain I would still like it, just difficult to know how much.
I hope that clarifies my earlier answer.

So basically your satisfaction at this hotel is price driven. Got it, thanks.No you don't "got it."

But I already said all that in my earlier post. I have no idea why you posted what you did about my satisfaction being price driven as I didn't say anything even close to that.

On the other hand I would think without status with the Starwood program and all that it brings the hotel would be good but not great.I know exactly what you mean. I am mid-tier elite with several hotel brands. On one trip to BKK I had business near the Millennium Hilton so I booked a couple nights there before heading across the river to better mongering locations.
I arrived late at night and the first thing the bellman said as he opened the taxi door was,"Good evening sir, would you be Mr Pogostick?" I said I was and was immediately whisked directly to my room. No check in at the desk. I was upgraded to an executive business suite with a panoramic view of the river. A fruit plate and a a hand personalized and signed letter of greeting from the General Manager were on the table. The bellman informed me that since the club lounge was closed I could have anything from the late night room service, including 3 beers. Complimentary. He also offered to arrange for a massage.
The next morning my wake-up call was a live person who asked what time I would like to be escorted to the lounge. 20 minutes later, my masseuse and I were escorted to the lounge for a wonderful breakfast. The entire experience at that hotel was of the same caliber. Anything I needed or wanted was there about 5 seconds before I even knew I needed it.
And it only cost me US$90 per night. The very relaxing and accommodating all night massage by a drop dead beautiful young lady was at standard LT go-go rates and the bellman got the equivalent of a standard bar fine.
The hotel is really nice, right on the river and with every possible amenity that you would expect from a top level Hilton property. But for the average monger or even the average tourist, I would not recommend this hotel. It's location is not very convenient to shopping, nightlife or other activities. You need to take a boat across the river to the sky train. Later at night it is taxi only.
For the average person it will be rather expensive compared to other nice hotels in the central areas. You will get a top level Hilton experience but without the nice perks. You can have a fantastic breakfast buffet, better than the lounge, but it will cost almost 1000 baht per person. You will get a very nice standard room. If you want the nicer rooms you will pay through the nose. You would be better off at the Narai for $40-50 for a standard room or $60 for a deluxe (nicer bathroom and decor) All rooms come with one of the best breakfasts in Bangkok and you are walking distance to sky train, Patpong and many nice restaurants. In the Suk area I like Soi 11 and stay at the President Palace on the club floor. Besides the club lounge for breakfast and happy hour I get a couple of free laundry items per day and half of the mini bar is free. Check-in is either in my room or in the club lounge.
I find that the girls really like some of the nicer rooms. Club level rooms usually have fantastic showers and / or tubs and great views. I always make sure that my guest is welcome in the lounge in the morning. The Hilton was no problem. The Narai does charge a joiner fee unless you check in as a couple and stay that way, so if you are really into butterfly LT then there are better options. I like it for convenience to some business associates but move to Soi 11 as soon as possible The Pres Palace is no problem, just register for two at no extra charge to get breakfast for two. They don't seem to notice if your "wife" looks entirely different every day.
For me it is never about price, although I do try to get the best bang for my buck and will go as cheap as I can. But I do look for either a great experience or a great location. There are places I pay over $200 a night for a dive when I can get a resort for half the price, but it may have a location that I can use as an office to take care of several of my clients rather than work out of a suit case moving around to their offices. (I do technical product analysis with specialized equipment)
So it is very possible to have a fantastic experience because of loyalty perks yet not recommend the hotel to others if there are better options. But if you do have access to the perks you will usually book the hotel even if there are financially better deals out there. I like to book the Hilton for my first night in BKK. I'm usually too tired to go out and the incredible service and perks are a nice way to mellow out after the long flights. Who needs the hassle of a standing in line for normal check in? I can go straight to my room and have a shower, with food and company on their way in about the time it takes to get checked in anywhere else. Can't beat that!
Anyone that travels a lot or long distances should be signed up for rewards when ever possible. It can make the hassles of travel a little more tolerable.
Have fun.

Has anyone got a report on S31 hotel? Looks like a nice place, Good location. Is it GF?
Please let me know. I'm looking for an upscale place, within reasonable walking distance to BTS / MRT. Prefer a service apartment type place.
I stayed recently at Citidines 11 and would not recommend it. The place was VERY basic. Bedroom was an american queen size if even that. Price was ok, location was ok, but on the price performance scale, for me not worth it.
Please if anyone has anything to say about S31, please respond or send me a message.

I have stayed there a while back, when it had just opened. The duplex rooms over 2 floors are nice, plenty of room to lounge about and there is a very full bedroom upstairs, the bed fills the room, plus a bathroom. There does not seem to be a lot in the way of bars and restaurants though, but if you are going out to other places to eat and drink this would not be a problem. Very girl friendly, the elevators go from the ground floor where the bellhops are up to the room floors, passing reception on the way, bellhops no ask anything.
Hi guys,
Do some of you know about the Bangkok Silom Sofitel?
I don't know so much about Thailand but if I understand, the right place to party is Patpong in Bangkok so I'd like to know if that hotel is not to far from there?
Also do you know if there is any problem if I bring a girl in my room and do I've have to pay some charges for that?
And finally if some have been to this hotel, is there good internet connexions in rooms?
Also if someone know any other hotel with this criteria (not far from Patpong, possible to bring girl to your room and great internet connexions in rooms) , please tell me about.

I don't know so much about Thailand but if I understand, the right place to party is Patpong in Bangkok so I'd like to know if that hotel is not to far from there?Patpong is the place tourists go to se the sex shows and generally get ripped off. Don't follow the touts to the upstairs rooms!
For a *real* mongering experience, move over to a place near Nana (BTS Nana) or Soi Cowboy (BTS Asoke) , both in the Sukhumvit Road area. Generally the hotels in this area are all GF-friendly and the girls at reception don't bat an eyelash even if you check in a new girlfriend to your room every day.
Hi guys,
Do some of you know about the Bangkok Silom Sofitel?
I don't know so much about Thailand but if I understand, the right place to party is Patpong in Bangkok so I'd like to know if that hotel is not to far from there?
Also do you know if there is any problem if I bring a girl in my room and do I've have to pay some charges for that?
And finally if some have been to this hotel, is there good internet connexions in rooms?
Also if someone know any other hotel with this criteria (not far from Patpong, possible to bring girl to your room.
Sorry for my english and thank you.While Sofitel seems to be a nice hotel, I would prefer the Sukhumvit area for partying or mongering.
There you have Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy and lots of MP within Walking distance. That means you can switch from one place to another. On Patpong I have seen more western couples pretending to be a little adventurous than anywhere else in BKK.
BTW Sofitel is about 15 minutes from Patpong. And you should use google to see if Sofitel is "girlfriendly" which means they are used to bargirls and that they don't charge any extra fee. On my first night in Bangkok I was impressed how easy it was to bring a girl to my room, but this was the Grand Millenium.
Hi guys, Do some of you know about the Bangkok Silom Sofitel?The Sofitel is a very nice hotel & only a two minute taxi ride, or a ten minute walk to Patpong. I've stayed at Le Meridien Hotel right across the street from Patpong and I think it is nicer .
I don't know so much about Thailand but if I understand, the right place to party is Patpong in Bangkok so I'd like to know if that hotel is not to far from there?Patpong has a lot more variety of things to do than Nana or Soi Cowboy. Go-go bars, BJ bars, beer bars, music, shopping, food, massage, etc. The overall selection of girls is a notch below Nana & SC, though.
Also do you know if there is any problem if I bring a girl in my room and do I've have to pay some charges for that?Just register for two. At the Sofitel they might require an ID from a girl if you bring her after you've checked in. The Meridien does not check IDs, but will not allow a girl to go up to your room unattended. Again, check with the hotel if you have specific questions.
And finally if some have been to this hotel, is there good internet connexions in rooms? Also if someone know any other hotel with this criteria (not far from Patpong, possible to bring girl to your room and great internet connexions in rooms) , please tell me about. Sorry for my english and thank you.Lots of nice hotels around Patpong on Silom and Sathorn Roads. Do an internet search. Every hotel in Bangkok has internet in the room. The more expensive hotels charge for it. Check with the hotels about this.
Great answer, thank you Fon Tok.

Sorry for my english and thank you.Patpong is not terrible if you know where to go. Star of Light will give BBBJ / CIM for 700 and FS in the toilet for 1000.
Go to Kangaroo Bar. They will BBBJ for what ever you want to tip and a few fuck BB for the same all behind the curtain. Just buy a drink when you go in and then tip for the service.
Also, Linda's Bar is not terrible. As soon as you walk in they will surround you and kiss / stroke you. Pick one and she will suck you cock.
Avoid all the shows. Total rip offs. They will charge 1000 to watch a 2 minute shit show.

Then, she put both of her hands against the wall with the toilet in front of her. Fucked her good in doggie. You are right, to each their own. It was different and a lot of fun for me.

Gents,
I have visited Bangkok and stayed at the New renovation Maxim's Inn from November 25
Through December 01, 2011. This is my first stay at the Maxim Inn in Bangkok.
In the past, I was always booked Majestic Suite hotel and never think about others.
However, in my trip November 2010, I had a bad Noisy room 603 nightime traffic
Eventhough I made reservation well in advance and paid 1500baht for the room per night.
My request for the back room Never happened. So, Time is ready for a Change to Maxim's Inn.
At soi 7/1. To my pleasant surprise, I have the Deluxe room for 1190 baht a night with Breakfast.
The New room is very comfy with queen bed, new wood floor, small closet with safe box.
I must notice that the safe box is small not big enough for a lap top.
The room also has, a small frig, a desk with chair and good digital TV. Set.
The AC. Is great working horse all day. On top of that, there are 2 sofas chair sitting and table.
The bathroom was just small for shower. However, it is new and functioning well.
I liked the room was always quiet and Never hear the traffic noise from Sukhumvit road 100m. Away.
So, I was totally happy with this New Maxim's Inn. And this new Home in Bangkok
Can anyone recommend a good room in the area / a recent positive or otherwise thumbs-up experience
At a budget hotel in the area around Soi 22, 24, or 37, 39?
Just in town for a night, so just the basics required. Thanks!

I had one like that in a little bar on Soi 22, where I couldn't take the girl back to the room, so she told me I could fuck her in the bathroom. It was a great experience.

It is pretty filthy, cum on the floor, etc. That is what makes it fun. They can blow you in the bar area also if you don't mind other dudes walking in and seeing you. When you go into the bathroom, they close the door. While I was fucking her, another girl walked in, pulled down her pants, lifted up her leg, and threw a cup full of water from a basin onto her pussy to rinse it off. She pulled her pants up and left. All this while I am going at it 6 feet away in standing doggie with my girl.
Go there and have a memorable experience.
Admiral Suites on Soi 22.

About as discreet and accomodating as you can expect to find anywhere. Wouldn't be the preferred recommended choice though for the one night stay.

Admiral Suites on Soi 22
http://www.admiralsuites.com/
Around 1300THB per night, very clean, a lot of little bars in the area, with some real gems.Agree. This place is pretty good (can get to Emporium thru Imperial Queen's Park easily). Try to get room facing the small Soi Nam Thip (?) not Soi 22). Add 17% for taxes etc. Coffee / breakfast in Green Parrot Resto. Pretty good.
You could also try Baan Sukhumvit at the Sukhumvit end of Soi 20 down a sub soi. (http://thailand1x1.com.r24.asia/620365/Baan-Sukhumvit-Soi-20)
Much smaller rooms than Admiral.
And then there is Premier Inn which is a dump but cheap on Soi 20 about 300meters down from Sukhumvit!

I've stayed at Nana Hotel (Sukhumvit and Soi 4) before and like it. Just wondering:
If I book a double room: Will they let me bring back 2 girls to my room, or just one, if it's for all night long?
Also, what about short time?
I just worry I might meet two hot babes and I can't bring them both back together. Any tips?

I just worry I might meet two hot babes and I can't bring them both back together. Any tips?From what has been written here lots of hotels (including 5 star ones, but there with a little bit of appropiaite dressing) , in BKK will not bother if you take two girls back. Surely not Nana, seen also its location and the "crowd" in its car park.

I just worry I might meet two hot babes and I can't bring them both back together. Any tips?You can ask first. They get those questions all the time. Or, just do it. I don't think most have a problem as long as they have I'd.
Just for info, with two girls you will be on the "walk of fame"!
I'm currently staying there right now. It's a pretty good hotel with pretty good location near soi cowboy and I think one stop away from nana on the sky train.
The downside of this hotel is the Internet access. They've blocked off access to ISG. I'm currently using the free wifi from a restaurant up the street. Another downside is the distance from the hotel to the sky train and soi cowboy can take a toll on you. I'm pretty much sick of walking LOLI'm considering staying at the AP in April and on google it seems to be only 400meters or so from Soi Cowboy. Is it further?
The reason I asked my question about 2 girls is:
I was staying at The Nana a few years ago. I met a couple of babes on Soi 4 near the Nana. I went to my room first, alone, and told them both to come to my room a few minutes later. A few minutes later one came to my room. She told me they both went to the reception desk in the lobby (the one where the cashier is). Reception told them only one could come up. So only one came up. I guess the mistake was that they went to the reception desk.
I guess the mistake was that they went to the reception desk.That could be the reason.
Unless there is an unwritten rule that WG should report to reception even if, seen they were from Nana Park they know most of the reception workers LOL. Do the walk of shame and go with them: safer for the deed. There us a bar after the reception, that is "where you were heading," weren't you? I trust 90% of the single guys checking in at Nana have only one purpose to do so.
And the hotel well know this, so ultimately it is not much of a walk of shame.

PP2I have been staying at the Landmark for the last 10 years, never had a problem, but I always make it plain to the staff they are NOT to take the I'd card from any girl with me. The General Manager has changed to a Chinese guy who has been working in China, but I doubt he will be any different.
Has anyone tried airbnb. Com for bookings? You can get condo's for under 50 US dollars?

Would appreciate it very much if you go ahead and do the research and let us know. You don't expect us lazy morons to the work, do you?I used the site in Hong Kong last month on my way to Macau. I rented a studio apartment the size of a shoebox. Of course it was $35 US a night, but you get what you pay for, and a photo can be photoshopped. I wasn't totally disappointed, I have stayed in worst places, and the cost of hotels in Hong Kong are crazy high.
Wasn't asking for research. Just a question, since it seems hotels are much cheaper in Bangkok as oppose to Hong Kong or even Tokyo where I live.
I have no problem RTFF, but there was nothing, when I searched for it, and there seems to be more questions then reviews of hotels.

I usually give location a lower priority than price and comfort. For example Le Fenix is not a bad deal at the end of Soi 11 and the distance from Suk can be dealt with. Yesterday through Wotif. Com I booked the Palms@Suk On Soi 39. It's a large serviced apartment room that shows some good recent upgrades. But man I sure screwed up on location. First it's probably 3 times the distance from Sukhumvit than the Le Fenix example is. Also, Soi 39 is one way going towards Sukhumvit so to get here one has to take Soi 31 and this maze of small sois. I did a search on this thread prior to booking and got nothing. It turns out they've changed the name from Twin Palms 39 to Palms@Suk. Maybe this was done to give the impression of a better location.
Now I have to inquire why the jacuzzi tub does not work and why there is good hot water for the tub but not for the shower.
I thought it might be quite good for 1400 per night. Give it a miss.
C4T
On Soi 39. it's probably 3 times the distance from Sukhumvit than the Le Fenix example is Didn't the 39 tip you off to that fact? :) Or was it a secret deal without the soi being mentionned?
I hope you didn't book for too many days. I'm also a fan of booking hotels that are central.

I'm also a fan of booking hotels that are central.No, the 39 is not the problem as Soi 39 does intersect with Sukhumvit near some good oily massage choices on Soi 24 etc, and not all that far from Soi Cowboy. It's the indirect route plus the distance that is the problem. And sure, with a bit more research I would have known. Oh well. AS follow up to the hot water and the jacuzzi problems, the breaker was turned off for the hot water because it runs either scalding or cold. The jacuzzi jets simply do not work. I feel a little bit sorry for the owner because he spent some serious upgrade money and did not get functionality. Not enough to stay past the 3 nights though.

Why? Just curious. I actually want them to take the I'd card. I beleive it is insurance and helps avoid any problems with the girl.The reason they take the I'd card is so they can say the girl is a registered guest if the coppers ever enforce the law, but I have never seen it. Many times the girl will not get her I'd card back until she pays some security guy for it and I simply see that as extortion. I never get drunk, never take a girl I am not 100% sure of, and have had very few (only two I can remember) problems in the last 15 years, and always just gave them the boot before it got out of hand. I only do long times, and always pick girls that I can get along with and are fun to be with, invariably I also bareback, never had any problems with that either. Also, many times I have a decent girl who just wants to have some fun, and they see it as branding them if a hotel takes an I'd card from them. I also doubt that many hotels will want to get involved in any argument you might have, they may do you the courtesy of a phone call when she leaves, but I am not under the weather and know what is going on.

SkeetThanks for the clarification. Hotels in Thailand range from very cheap to the very expensive. For 40-50 USD you can get pretty decent rooms with aircon and attached bath (right on Suk for that matter) , so there is really no need to find a place thru air. Bnb and others. For HKG I can understand but for BKK you really don't need to.

SkeetBangkok has the cheapest hotel rooms per sq. Ft. Of any major city in the world. Just go to Agoda or booking. Com and search the Sukhumvit area. Like others have said, for $50, you can get a decent place probably including beakfast.

Mates,
I need your help. Help me decide between Citadines 23, Citrus 22 or Ramada Encore! I've read the forum and I know they are all GF and in good location to Soi Cowboy. I just can't decide on which one to stay at! I'm going to Bangkok for 2 nights next week. All the price is rather similar, the most expensive being Citrus which is 20 bucks more than Ramada Encore. I do not mind paying it at all if it's worth it, but is it worth it? Need your opinions.

Tuk-tuk service (free) from the hotel to the BTS and metro.
Good breakfast and the in-house restaurant offers a tasty and original fusion of Thai and Western food.
I stay there every time I am in Bangkok, except the last time when I had only 1 night. I made the HUGE mistake of booking into Nana Hotel. My old barracks room from my Army days in the 1980s would have been better.

I totally agree that Bangkok has a great decent hotels at reasonable prices and GF. Too. I don't know very much about hotels close to the river and Silom which are very expensive due to the 5star status and nice architectural buildings. However, I always stay at the lower soi Sukhumvit road, mainly the Majestic suite and Maxim's Inn.
Which are around $50usd per night for MS and $40usd a night at Maxim's Inn. For that price I can have a Single superior room with a queen size bed, a closet with safe box, Air conditioning control, a small refrig. TV set, desk and chair. At Maxim's Inn I like the absolutely quiet soi7/1 even though only 100m set back Sukhumvit road.
I even have the opportunity to check on Eden club and Dr. BJ. Along with some Bars here. It is very lively soi at night. The Majestic suite is okay for the rooms facing the NEP. However, there are some rooms on the front Sukhumvit road can be very noisy all night long. I had room 603 and just could not bear the noise. So, Maxim's Inn with new renovations inside out is an excellent choice at 1190 baht a night.

I have just booked into the NANA Hotel for 6 weeks beginning in January. This will be the 7th or 8th year in a row that I have stayed there. I realize that different strokes for different folks makes the world go around but I have always had a pleasant time at the Nana. And it would be hard to find a better location for a monger.
While the hotel is pretty plain the 11th or 12th floor rooms are quite nice and the front desk has always been pleasant and helpful. I must admit checking out is a bit of a challenge when the regular staff is there as she is not the nicest woman in the world but I do get a 10% discount when I have stayed more than 15 days and everyone else is pretty easy to get along with. Safe deposit box behind the counter which is less convenient than in the room but a lot more secure. Morning paper if you ask for it.
The usual bathroom and shower, refrigerator, closets, two large bedsm big windows and control your own air conditioner. The pool and hot tub are quite nice with plenty of sun until 2 or 3 pm. The the tall buildings cause shade after that and cooler temps. Food and drinks are available at the pool.
Came back from Laos one time, arrived at midnight unannounced and sicker than a dog. Hotel was completely booked and I was not due back for a week but she found me a room and had it made up in a few minutes so I could crawl into my bed and recuperate from a really bad meal up north.
Another night, taking advantage of one the the finer perks, the selection at the 2 am parking lot, I came back with a bad choice. When that became obvious, a call to the desk had an answer to my problem knocking on the door in a couple of minutes. He asked what my problem was, picked her up by the arm, said "shut up" which she did immediately and walked out of the room with my problem. Cool, calm and collected but he looked so badddd he almost scared me.
The disco in the lobby is pretty cool and productive and the bar is a comfortable place to meet a friend. If you don't have a friend the in house massage girls are usually pretty.
So here is to a warmer climate in a couple of weeks. See you there.

I stayed at the back and Nana gogo's are right up against it. It was extremely noisy till 3am. A lot of mongers like it because of the location. There are much better options around and places you can actually sleep.
For longer term stays I have a studio condo on Nana if your interested msg me. For holidays travelers the breakdown is about 600baht per night.
If you take the place for 1 year its only 9500b/month plus utilities.

For longer term stays I have a studio condo on Nana if your interested msg me. For holidays travelers the breakdown is about 600baht per night.
If you take the place for 1 year its only 9500b / month plus utilities.Gents,
It sound very good to me. I can image the condo with a small bedroom and community kitchen. I can even afford it for a life retirement in Bangkok.
Arriving after a short night flight around 7 am, and leaving at midnight the same day, I want to get into a room to refresh and get a little sleep, than hit the MPs etc, go back to the room for another nap, and again roam the streets, eventully bringing a prey back to the hotel.
I prefer the soi 33, or Soi 24-26 area. Does anyone know of hotels there who might accept a day time booking? Ready to pay a decent price for a day, but not if they want to charge 2 days.

I check in on arrival and check out at appr 8/8. 30pm as anyhow I prefer to be early at the airport.
I take a standard room that I pay for a day, this includes the LL looooooong time breakfast.
Gents,
I have visited Bangkok and stayed at the New renovation Maxim's Inn from November 25
Through December 01, 2011. This is my first stay at the Maxim Inn in Bangkok.
In the past, I was always booked Majestic Suite hotel and never think about others.
However, in my trip November 2010, I had a bad Noisy room 603 nightime traffic
Eventhough I made reservation well in advance and paid 1500baht for the room per night.
My request for the back room Never happened. So, Time is ready for a Change to Maxim's Inn.
At soi 7/1. To my pleasant surprise, I have the Deluxe room for 1190 baht a night with Breakfast.
The New room is very comfy with queen bed, new wood floor, small closet with safe box.
I must notice that the safe box is small not big enough for a lap top.
The room also has, a small frig, a desk with chair and good digital TV. Set.
The AC. Is great working horse all day. On top of that, there are 2 sofas chair sitting and table.
The bathroom was just small for shower. However, it is new and functioning well.
I liked the room was always quiet and Never hear the traffic noise from Sukhumvit road 100m. Away.
So, I was totally happy with this New Maxim's Inn. And this new Home in BangkokHi will like to know if they are Girl Friendly? I planning to pass a week this month in Bangkok didn't been in Thailand for 10 years! I have a limited budget.
Thank's in advance!
Hi I find that note on an escorte service in Bangkok about friendly hotel to bring escort.
(I guess you can bring a girl from escort service you can bring a girl that you meet.)
Did someone stay at one of that hotel, do you have recommendation what was the price, how friendly was it, what was the negative point? Did hat list accurate?
I planning to go in Bangkok this month and looking for a place to stay where they are girl friendly (didn't been in Thailland for 10 years!)
This it's what I find:
Generally, most hotels in Bangkok are Escort friendly and will allow our Bangkok Escorts to go up directly to your room without any charges.
Furthermore, to avoid any possible charge, you can book your hotel with occupancy of 2 adults. Surely this way the hotel is obliged to allow our Escorts to enter your room without any charge.

For longer term stays I have a studio condo on Nana if your interested msg me. For holidays travelers the breakdown is about 600baht per night.
If you take the place for 1 year its only 9500b / month plus utilities.I'm curious, is this a normal price for a condo in Nana? How comfy - modern - clean is it for this price?
I've been wanting to do research on rooms or condos by the month, but haven't really done it. Last time I checked very briefly I saw basic but clean rooms in the Ratchada area for 8-10K a month, if rented monthly. That's the cheapest I've seen in BKK, and I assumed in Nana / Sukhumvit it would be much pricier. I would appreciate feedback on this as I might return to BKK soon for a longer stay.

I fully agree with you on quality of citadines 23. My problem however is exactly what you mentioned- the queen bed may be too small for 4 adult bodies!
By the way does anyine know if citadines 23 will have any problem with bringing two guests in a room rented by two persons? So total 4 persons in a room.
I stayed several times at Citadines 23. The staff is very friendly, all women at reception and they seem to know a lot of the GFs you bring as they always have a little chat (heavens know what thay are saying). Nice little apartment rooms, well appointed. Good bed, unless you want to stage a real old-roman style orgy, then it may be a bit small perhaps. Swimming pool and gym.
Tuk-tuk service (free) from the hotel to the BTS and metro.
Good breakfast and the in-house restaurant offers a tasty and original fusion of Thai and Western food.
I stay there every time I am in Bangkok, except the last time when I had only 1 night. I made the HUGE mistake of booking into Nana Hotel. My old barracks room from my Army days in the 1980s would have been better.
Seems like excellent choice DB. Please do update us hpw was it when you stay there. I am strongly thinking of booking it as well.
Happy new year all.
Thanks for the opinion. I have decided to stay at Citrus 22 considering the positive reviews. Also, the "walk of shame" can be avoided as I've read that the reception is found on the 2nd floor instead. Hope it will be good. Happy new year everyone.
DOggy
Some hotels that want to be "family hotels" have a habit of charging guest fee's. Bel Air Princess in Soi 5 Sukhumvit is one of them. In all the hotels I have stayed around that area (at least a dozen) , this is the only one that I know of. But you meet it now and then even in Phuket and Pattaya.
SOme advice:
1. Ask in advance. There is no reason to be ashamed about it especially not in an area with many bars.
2. If you have booked a room via Agoda, Hotels. Com or a similar site, check your booking conditions.
Some sites make you book a room "with a max of 2 persons" (like Agoda). When I showed this to the BEP staff without problem the guest fee rule was waived (they have no choice).

Thank's in advance!Gents,
I had a guest girl for a short time when I stayed at the Maxim's Inn and I did not pay anything for my guest working girl. The only required that was the I'd. Of the girl. When she checked out, the front desk guy even called me and make sure I was okay. That I call an excellent service for Free of charge. I had a Deluxe room with a queen size bed very comfy for a FS. With firm matress. The Maxim's Inn is very quietly setting back 100m. From Sukhumvit road. I got tired of the traffic noise when I stayed at Majestic suite. So, It is time for a Change.

To make sure, you better ask them before booking. Four in a 2 person room will make you run out of towels immediately of course.
On the other hand they have a rooftop swimming pool which hardly anyone uses. So if you fancy an open air session in the centre of Bangkok, here is your chance.
What do you think about The Landmark Hotel close to Sukh Soi 4? Seems like a good location, price around 50 euros per night. Anyone been there? Or is the any better option between Nana plaza and Soi cowboy? Max about 50 euros.

That is an excellent price for the Landmark. Things must be slow. In that area I prefer the Majestic Grande or the Marriott, but no way you could get a room in those hotels for 50 Euros. I would take it. Excellent gym, pool and location.
You are right about 4 in a room, they allow max 3.
I like your idea about doing it au natural on the rooftop though!

Marriott is great but will cost twice as much. You can hop on the Nana Skytrain and get to Soi Cowboy in a few minutes.

Anyone got any info on joiner fees for Shama Sukhumvit Soi 2?
I did email them about being guest friendly and they did reply saying they are but I've been hit up before with this being the case.
Even if they do charge with it being a service appartment I'm hoping I can sneak in after reception is closed.
Cheers for the help
The location seems perfect, its really close to the train station and soi cowboy is right behind it. I tried searching this thread for a review to no success. Has anyone stayed here in the past, or know anything about it?

E. G. I once showed up to Admiral Premier with 3 girls, and reception didn't bat an eyelid.
At GF places, the security might ask to see the girls I'd Cards, so make sure they are over 18 before going to your Hotel.

I have stayed there. Good price, Nice hotel, gf, incredible location. I would recommend it for location alone. Go there and try it. If you don't like it you can move elsewhere. But I doubt you will.
Want to try another place with a great location. Check out On8 at the Nana BTS station. I've never stayed there but looked at the rooms. It's another place that offers good value with modern rooms.

Do any of you have any recommendations for a two bedroom suite near the action? Looking to stay within a reasonable distance to Soi Cowboy and the Nana Plaza.
Doesn't need to be a 5 star hotel, just looking for two bedrooms and a living room / kitchen area. Saw the Pan Pacific Serviced Suites. Looks reasonable. Any other hints?
Not bringing a family, just wanted a bigger party area in the room.

DuniWith respect Duni, I don't believe he exactly answered his own question. Although the Hotel said they were GF, he was not sure whether to believe them, having been burned before by bullshit email replies (I guess). Therefore he was merely seeking a 2nd confirmation.
Thais will sometimes say "yes" to anything to get your booking. We all know that different staff in the same Hotel can be inconsistent. Also miss communication is easily possible.
Personally, I have never emailed a Hotel to ask, but was only caught out badly once, when discovered that Bangkok Palace (Makasan) was Chinese and family oriented.
recently had short stay at silq hotel sukhumvit soi 19.
price was about 2500 on wotif. unfortunately did not include breakfast in the price, however chez charlie coffee shop accross the road is really excellent with very high quality produce.
good points were: a very comfortable bed (i don't like cheap hard mattresses) although no more than a queen width, bathroom had a shower stall with door and no bath (a big plus to avoid bathroom floods). free wifi had good speed. reasonable view from window (not too ugly).
smallish room but usable. no complaints except for extra 300 baht charged for breakfast, which didn't look exciting, so i ate at chez charlie instead.
overall i still prefer admiral premier (when price is right) which always includes breakfast. silq bathroom is better than ap though.

Thanks in advanceBe careful if you can't un-commit as it might be one of the river triumvirate (Peninsula, Oriental & Shangri La) and you might not want to be over there.
I used to stay at the Ramada Tawana. At the time they charged a joiner fee and really did not want you to bring in girls. It is now just Tawana and the Ramada part is gone. Has anyone stayed there recently? Is it still not guest friendly? The price is great and it is next to Patpong.

The second mystery hotel listed on Wotif is the Grand Millenium Hotel. It is a stone's throw away from Soi Cowboy, BTS and MRT stations.I'm curious, what is Wotif's mystery deal? If their price is around $85 for a deluxe room, then it is a good deal. If not, then I don't think it is worth the "mystery" hype unless you just decided to visit BKK on the spur of the moment. I booked the Grand Millennium through Expedia for $100 / night a few months ago when I knew I was coming to BKK in February and wanted to nail down where I was staying.
BUT, are there any 5* hotels there [on Sukhumvit]?I like the Grand Millennium, but it is definitely not a 5 star hotel. I would rate it a solid 4 star hotel although I think it is as good as or better than the more expensive Sheraton and Weston hotels across the street. You got to love this Asok / Sukhumvit location. I also like the Admiral Premier. Nice location on that one too and big suites to entertain the girls.
I used to stay at the Ramada Tawana. At the time they charged a joiner fee and really did not want you to bring in girls. It is now just Tawana and the Ramada part is gone. Has anyone stayed there recently? Is it still not guest friendly? The price is great and it is next to Patpong.I just found the answer on an Asian hotel booking site. Looks like it is 950 Bt for each companion. I guess, I won't be inviting all the girls from Pussy Galore to my room.
Is there anyone who nows short time hotels in the sukumvit area, arround nana or asoke?

I'm planning 7 to 14 days in Bangkok sometime this year. Lots of great hotel info on this thread thanks to many great posts. But most of these places wouldn't have a washing machine and dryer in room.
I'm wondering if I should get an apartment with washing machine (at Adelphi Suites for example). Or, are "laundry shops"/laundromats common in the Sukhumvit area? In which case there's no need to get an apartment with a washing machine.

IrvIrv,
This question has been answered before in the forum. You will find lots of laundromats with staff service in Bangkok. Just explore the area around your hotel and you will find at least one, if not more, such laundromats. You just drop your clothes and you will get them back all cleaned up and nicely packed after a few hours. The payments are made based upon the weight of the clothes taken together.

Another are another 1 or 2 down Soi 5.
They charge per item, not by weight.

My take is Maxim's Inn at soi 7/1 Sukhumvit road. This hotel is newly up grade all interior rooms and freshly new paint. I stayed there in November. 2011 and very pleased with the hotel condition very quietly and yet closed to the NEP. Soi Nana and BTS station. The hotel is totally GF. And when my girl left the front desk called me and check to see if anything is okay. I had a pleasant surprise there. The Majestic suite never does thing like that when I was staying at M. S. Many times before I switch to Maxim's Inn. The cost at Maxim's Inn is only 1190 baht a night for a double bed with a small safe box in room. The A / C. Is also in good working condition. The only downside is the tiny bathroom, standing shower. I like the soi 7/1 with Eden club nearby and many good looking girls bars on this short soi.

if you are are not looking for a high end hotel, the dawin on soi 4 would be a good choice. it is located in the night life area. lots of bars, restaurants, massage, nep on the same soi 4.
rooms are good, free high speed wifi, good service, guest friendly!
i used to stay at grand president and grnad dynasy earlier. but after discovering this gem. i always stay here!
cheers!

Thanks Bionicman, Luvpuss, Aries3288, Tratnguyen1 for responding. I guess I will go with Maxim Inn due to thier low rates and proximity to the places I wish to visit. Also, the hotel looks to be good enough. I will be in J W Marriot for 2 days which would be billed to office and later I am planning to extend the trip on my own expense. I am not looking for a luxurious stay anyways, Maxim Inn should work for me.

AJust a warning on the JW Marriott. It is a 5 star and super nice. However, I have brought girls there and they almost seem uncomfortable with the opulent surroundings. Because of this they seem to feel you can afford to pay them more. Just make sure you are totally clear about any service / price prior to taking them there.

Because of this they seem to feel you can afford to pay them more. Just make sure you are totally clear about any service / price prior to taking them there.That is a very good and proper advice. JW Marriott is just behind NEP so will give our friend the opportunity to sample the area by living in it and be more familiar when he moves a bit more far away: not much far if he goes to Soi7.
I am familair to JW around the world but never been to the BKK on, so I can imagine what it is all about, same as I can imagine, due to its location, some of the NEP girls have been in it following some customers.
Sometime girls do enjoy a good treat (especially if they stay LT) in terms of room, bed, bathroom facilities, as it is certainly not their daily cup of tea.
I appreciate your kind advice. I don't think I will get anyone into my room at JW Marriot during my 2 days stay. Still its nice to know NEP is close by so I can get a glimpse of it before I actually start to feel the scene.

Just make sure you are totally clear about any service / price prior to taking them there.Unless your company is paying for your stay in a posh 5 star, you (not referring to anyone in particular) clearly have money to waste, IMHO. I would would rather stay comfortably but cheaper, with more money remaining for the girls. I don't believe that Thai girls respect a guy more, when they find out how much money is going for the room compared to how much they are getting, especially if the guy seems stingy. If you are rich and can afford to splurge on both Hotel and the girls, then so be it. I always cut back on the Hotel before cutting back on the sex.
So I am agreeing with Alpanico, although I would probably take the Dawin over Maxims, or any of the other proposed Hotels. I wouldn't actually stay in Soi 7/1. Its a bit too low class and obviously for mongers.
Can anyone let me know how common "laundry shops"/laundromats are in the Sukhumvit area? Preferably laundromats with staff service not self-service.Yes plenty. Every major Soi (just about) has one or more. Look for the sign "Laundry Service". Its very cheap for them to wash and iron. However they will fold the clothes unless you tell them to put on hangers. Hotel wash service is too expensive in comparison. My favourite laundry girl in Soi 19 is quite sexy, and her shop doesn't usually close too early.

There is one very near Soi Cowboy: get out of Soi Cowboy on the Soi 23 side and turn left. It is the first one you meet on the left side of the street, a bit hidden away between massage shops, very small, just the width of the entrance door. Not expensive and good "same day" service. There is also one a bit further down the street (in a house set back a bit from the street) : it is more expensive and not as fast.
Hello,
I am looking for a short time hotel (or a very cheap normal hotel) around suk soi 24-26. If any direct experience of allowing 2 girls at the same time even better.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!An amusing request! If you have limited time available, away from the Mrs. Or other family / friends, then I would suggest using one of the MPs with girls provided. If you are not staying in the Soi 24 to 26 region yourself, its hard to understand why you need the room to be located there. Girls are willing to go further usually. You can do MP take out to somewhere not so close as that, or just put up with the rooms the MP provides.
If you are staying in the Soi 24 to Soi 26 region, then its too dangerous to play up there (if you have a wife) in case you are spotted. If you are staying in a non-GF hotel in Soi 24 to 26, then it seems silly, but you can play up further afield, however I stayed in Hopeland and took a girl to the room with no problems.
Okay I give up, as have reached the end of my imagination.

When I invited my DIA date to come to Bangkok and stay in the same hotel as me (but in a separate room, she was very shy) , she was shocked when she saw the price (it was only about 2300 Baht / night. Citadines Sukhumvit Soi 23). So I suggested that she could stay in my room and I would buy her a present from the money saved.
It took her only a few days thinking before the lost some of her shyness and opted for the present. Everyone happy!

I will be in J W Marriot for 2 days which would be billed to office and later I am planning to extend the trip on my own expense.Why not check out some local hotels when you are in the Marriot rather than book beforehand? There is such a wealth of all kinds of hotels in that area that if you take an hour or so, you will certainly find something to your taste. And you can ask to have a look at the room.
I once booked a room in Nana Hotel without checking it beforehand. At 1400 or so Baht / night it was a rip-off. Small room, bad lighting, small bath room, A / C that only could provide arctic temperatures. Yes it was close to NEP but the room was so depressing I did not dare to bring a girl there.
Why not check out some local hotels when you are in the Marriot rather than book beforehand?Yes. I am going to do just that.

I know it's not the best idea maybe.
Anyway, mostly for the 2 girls option, I'd prefer to have the session in an hotel room instead of the MP room. And I guess it's a good idea to use a short time hotel a bit further. Would you maybe have any suggestion?
My idea is a 3 hours Short Time hotel which allows 2 girls to the room (I'd check in a bit in advance and wait for the girls in the room) ; so for the location any place close to BTS station and close enough for the MP to deliver girls there.
Thanks!

Thanks!I have done this: Take the Skytrain to Nana station. A lot of times 2 SW's are together on Soi 2-4. You can negotiate exactly what you want on the street with them. Take both to one of several ST hotels in that area. It will also be cheaper than 2 girls from a MP.
I sent a enquiry email to Compass, asking about how GF friendly they are specifically asking about GP and Omni Towers and below is the response I got. I asked them if I could get 2 guests with me?
"Please kindly be informed that there is no any charge and you can bring 2 Joiners to stay overnight."
Did anyone try this before here?

Hey guys,
I will arrive at Bangkok airport on a Wednesday early morning at 1. 30am. Is there any way to book a hotel beforehand where a girl could be waiting for me (at around 2. 30am)?
Or what is the best option to get a girl for the night when I arrive? Till 8am.
Thanks in advance
Does anyone have any experience with Phachara Suites in Soi 6? It looks good on the website and I'm planning a long stay so there is a pretty good rate for 30 days. I'd be interested to hear opinions from anyone who has stayed there.

Thanks in advanceI doubt it a hotel will allow a non resident to wait in your room before you have checked in yourself.
Any hotel that would allow this would be off my list in no time.
But if you book a hotel close to Nana or Soi Cowboy, you can perhaps already pick up someone on your way to the hotel?
Or you could book an escort, but if I can believe the reports about these services, they are rather expensive and very much a hit or miss and nothing guaranteed.
I doubt it a hotel will allow a non resident to wait in your room before you have checked in yourself.Actually I've done it before. I just called the reception to arrange it. I asked the girl (who I already knew) to get the card from the reception and wait for me in the room. No problem.

Johnvi mentioned "a girl" and I got the impression it was not someone he knew already.

Thanks in advanceYes, You can arrange a girl to wait for you in the Lobby. You can do this through some personal contacts or through escort sites.
Hotel will not allow the girl to check in unless her name is on the reservation and the room is paid for or girl puts the deposit.
If the girl is known to you it is ok. I have done it many times with my girlfriends. But always paid for the room in full and they have let my gf check in and wait in the room. Ofcourse there are some strict desk people who will not let any local single ladies check in by themselves unless accompanied by the foreigner who primarily booked the room.
If your flight arrives at 1. 30 am you will not be in Nana area till atleast 3 am or later. You will be extremely tired and I do not know why you are in a rush unless you are staying only one or two nights.
I have seen many girls hang around sukumvit and patpong area till 4 am. After you check in stroll around and check. There are also massage places which are open 24 hours. Yes, you can take a massage girl to your room paying barfine.
Most good looking girls will not be available late. Either they are already with somebody or they have made enough money for the night.
You can try your luck at biergarten. I believe it is open 24 hours- not sure now.

The location is superb, just steps from Soi 4 and then a few more steps to Nana Entertainment Plaza. The blocks in between are full of beer bars, food carts, restaurants and pubs, so the evening scene is lively and you'll have plenty fun when out and about. The hotel is also very close to the Nana station for the BTS. There is a 7-11 across the street.
The hotel is contemporary and clean, with the usual amenities you'd expect in a 3-4 star property, like wi-fi. 24-hour front desk, comfortable swimming pool with towel service, etc. Absolutely girl friendly. There are seven different room types, but even the most basic (the "studio deluxe") features a sitting area separate from the the bed, a kitchenette and plenty of storage space. The larger suites have balconies. And for the ultimate experience, check out the "one bedroom premier executive suite," with a huge outdoor terrace and a commanding view of the city. (See attached photos.)
Highly recommended. I would stay there again.

Thanks Bunky and Luvpuss I might just go for it.
Quite impressive rooms! What about the price level?Average price for what it is but they have some pretty nice deals on their website for long stays, that's what got me interested. I'm after a place for a month.
Quite impressive rooms! What about the price level?You can usually get the standard (45 sq. M) for $65 and the next size for around $75. It is a good price for the quality of the place.

They are also willing to give long term rates for shorter stays then 30 days to returning customers. I had a double room 58/65 sgm room for THB 2. 000 per night including internet. Totally girl friendly. See there logo to the wall.
PM me for more info.
Quite impressive rooms! What about the price level?I stayed in the "One Bedroom Premier" suite.
http://www.phacharasuites.com/accomodation.php
This is their best one-bedroom suite, and it was about 5,000 baht per night. Very pricy indeed, but it was only for a few nights and my holiday spending had been lower than planned so I splurged.
If you are interested in the one bedroom premier suite you should book far in advance. I gather from e-mail correspondence with the hotel that most are booked by long term guests and they rarely come available. In my case, they were only able to confirm the booking just a couple of weeks before I arrived.

http://www.bargirlfriendlyhotels.com/bangkok-girl-friendly-hotels/I appreciate your reply with the link for the hotels. Thank you for that.
But, I don't see the need for the nasty personal remarks. I don't find the questions stupid. And secondly, what has this question got to do with what I have posted in the past.
I stayed in both hotels in Feb 2012 so as ro check out both of them.
I was attracted to Citrus 22 as someone had mentioned that this hotel is one of those where one can avoid walk of shame as reception can be bypassed by using life / elevator form fround floor to room directly. True but not the whole truth. There are always 2 security guards present on ground floor plus a rather nosey young dude working as concierge. So what is point of avoiding reception if one still has to pass in front fo three persons? Citrus 22 is newest, construction is very good but smaller than Admiral Premier. Even the King size bed seemed more like queen bed in US.
I liked Admiral much more, had bigger room with options to try various poses, very good breakfast and was cheaper by $5. Besides it location is more secluded. Both hotels are walking distance to SC. Both very G Friendly.
Admiral Premier is clear winner though.

Yes it is a decent hotel (4 star) , but is there a typo on your rate? I cheapest I have ever seen that place is about 1700 a night.It is a long story.
I am going to Bangkok on April 24 to 26 (2 nights). On Expedia. Com, it is $34 USD per night (around 1040 baht) and on the hotel own website is 1300 baht. Since park plaza hotel website has a guarantee that if you find a cheaper price on another website, they will match it and give you an additional 25 % off. So I book on the hotel website and fill out a claim form to get the discount. They denied my claim because expedia. Com price is in USD and the price has to be in baht. So I go to the thai's expedia. Com and get the price in baht. The hotel website honored the claim after I called them and so I got 25% off 1040 baht which = to 780 baht.

For the one bedroom suite. In the bedroom it barely works, in the living room and bathroom about five meters towards the center of the building it's fine, on the balcony I get nothing. Bunky had no problems so I assume lower floors are better. Very nice hotel BTW.

They should have spectacular deals at the Grand Park Avenue in the coming weeks:
