A landmark there is also the presence of a (Russian style) blonde sitting outside Subway "all the time". LOLThats too funny!
Did she give you the "Hey Honey" going into the Beat also?
I swear she is there rain or shine.
Thats too funny! Did she give you the "Hey Honey" going into the Beat also? I swear she is there rain or shine.Everytime I passed by there she was (or another one, but still blonde, Russian look, well over 30 if not even 40). Look like one of those statues quite in fashion now, of somebody sitting on a bench in public park.
I always liek to give the look as that is a revealing factor of somebody being a WG or not. Not that she needs that in that case. She just misses to show you her menu card. Best is when walking where FL stations on side walk, you walk with a GF aside you and talking to her, you give the look at the WG (be she a girl or a LB) and she engage the glance like "interested?" They do not care if you are with a woman already. Might be a challenge for those regular tourist couple, walking by, and where the missus is not easy going. She might be pissed off (albeit walking in some areas should be clear what they are all about)
Wow, it's really interesting how people's opinion can differ. I just visited the Majestic Grande's website and Boy oh Boy, Welcome to the 1980s, Old Fashioned decor, CRT TVs: I would not stay there for the 2, 550 rate they are charging. No way for me.
See for yourself:
http://www.majesticgrande.com/I have stayed at Majestic Grande a long while back. I found it was a just okay Hotel, and while may have had some good aspects, I couldn't really justify the price they charged. Didn't really like the style much. It just didn't have anything that would make me go back, and I never did. Location even wasn't that special for me, not being an Annies or Nana addict. Definitely better hotels for less money around, unless you really want to be right at Annies.
I haven't stayed at many Hotels in this area so its hard to make a great recommendation, but I preferred Dynasty Grande in all ways except for would not recommend dining there apart from breakfast. I thought the chef was not that good. Haven't tried Solo Hotel or the often recommended Dawin Hotel.

Thanks for the info. I guess I got lucky and found the right place on my first visit. I will definitely be staying there when I go back.
I haven't tried the Eden Club yet and that is on my to-do list. What is the best way to get there from the Grande? Should I just cab it?I stayed at the Majestic Grande earlier this year. This was my second stay. My first was several years ago. Within a few months after they had first opened. I was very impressed after my first stay, but my recent stay was not particularly impressive. The hotel now looks tired and worn. I don't think the decor has been updated since they first opened. Service level has gone down considerably. Couple of times I requested that my room be serviced / cleaned. Both times they said they were sending someone up right away. I left the room so that they could clean, and returned a couple of hours later to find that the room had not been cleaned. The girls at the front desk were curt as were the two managers that I spoke to. Overall, a bad stay and I will not be staying there again.
You forgot to note location, location, location. And service, service, service.The location was just ordinary to me, and I don't require special service, just expect things to work and don't bother me.
For me, the ideal location is close to BTS and MRT junction, so I can get to vincinities of MPs quickly and taxi or motorcycle the remainder where necessary. I only visit Nana Plaza on rare occasions.
Forgot to mention that I believe they wanted a lot of extra to use 24 hour internet back then (a few years ago). Would have made it very pricey.

Just a quick addition to the Hotels thread. I stayed at the hotel last week and had a girl visit me while there. The elevator does not require a key card for the WG to come up to the room. The Lobby staff will ask for a I'd from Thai girls if you are not physically with them, but you can avoid that by telling them that she is indeed your guest and then nothing is required. No money or anything.
Personally I think the Hotel is just looking after our safety, and if I did not actually know the girl who came to visit me (Met her last year in Hongkong and has become a regular) I would have appreciated the gesture even more.
But most importantly no extra charges and they even comped her Breakfast with me.
Walk out of the front door, make a left and go to Sukhumvit Road. Make a right and walk about 200 yrds past a gas station and the next intersection is Soi 4 (Nana) Continue straight through the intersection past the post office and the Landmark Hotel. Down in front of the bank you'll see an elevated stair going across the road. Take it up and across. When you exit the stair well you'll be in front of Soi 7. Continue straight across the street until the next intersection, There will be a Subway sandwich shop on your left and as you look down Soi 7/1 You'll see Bangkok Beat, Star Hotel, The Eden is in that group of places on your right, about 200 meters from the Subway.
Total time walking about 7 minutes.
Thanks a lot for the directions. I look forward to going on that treasure hunt!

Aren't you the bloke that said you were not going to tell the staff what to do because that is what you paid managers to do? So you tip each staff upon arrival to ensure they do what they are paid to do in the first place? They must think you are a pigeon.

And getting your room cleaned outside the normal schedule.
I have stayed at Majestic Grande a long while back.I have been there 3 times this year and never found as such. Room had flat screen and DVD player for those interested.
Last time I went to the breakfast room few minutes past the closure time and staff was already removing everything. The head waiter has been kind to bring different plates with each of everything so I could still eat. Doesn't happen often.

Try it, you'll like it. I can't remember the exact price but it was relatively cheap and had a very large variety of food. The proof was that it was always full of locals from offices in the area. Lots of cute girls from banks. They had an Australian chef. Of course I haven't been there for a year or so, so maybe things aren't as good now as then. Although I'm trying to lose weight on this trip, I'll make the sacrifice and check it out since I'm staying at the higher priced alternative down the soi.
I have stayed at the GM a number of times when their was a WOTIF Mystery deal (special thanks to the now disappeared BARKO for his help). I seriously doubt the one you refer to is the GM. In the past the Mystery deal always referred to the hotel being close to BTS AND MTR (the subway) (which it is). I've never stayed at the Jasmine Hotel to give you a comparison!

And the M. G. Has one of the best lunch buffet deals around. Have to get there early though.The lunch buffet goes at 300b. Whilst the BBQ dinner buffett runs at 600/660 (I can't recall now) , including one drink (local beer draft glass or a glass of wine). If the lunch / dinner buffets are at the same level of hte brakfast, I can say it is very acceptable. Ideal for the lazy ones not willing to go out for lunch after a night out.

The Buffet I like to go to is the Brunch at SGS; Yes it's expensive (2, 700 thb) but the food is of great Quality, they have fresh imported Duck Liver (seared in front of you) and imported Meat and cheeses (not the tasteless Aussie or Danish versions). Oh, and unlimited Booze too.
If you want a great meal, avoid Buffets.
On the Other hand, the Chinese Restaurant at the JW soi 2 offers an "All you can eat" DimSum "a la carte" for 900 thb. The Dim Sum are Big and great quality.

Or at least they should have.
I am not a fan of Buffet to begin with, but a 300 thb buffet? No way in the world that can be good.It is a bit daring to compare a 2700thb buffet with a 300 one. I can well imagine they give you lot back. Pity a HE is not included, as it should. I ain't a cheap Charlie and I do enjoy good food and don't mind paying for it, even if I am not french. But I know how to compare and rate the quality vs. Price ratio. Surely the meat at MG will not be new Zealand prime beef, but it won't be Kobe steak at SGS. How can you eat meat that it is not Kobe's? On principle buffet cannot be rated top cuisine, but fit many purposes. One is to have a selection of food you like without bothering ordering something you will not like. You taste it at the Buffett and if you like it, get more.
Doing it the Asian way: salad, fruit, steak, egg, watermelon all on top of each other, will not do good too.
Isn't the MTR in Hong Kong? BKK has the MRT.Also Singapore has MRT. London has it too, they just call it different, the tube LOL. Maybe Paris doesn't, seen their hate for any non French word.

For that kind of dough I can have 4 blowjobs followed by a delicious New York Strip steak dinner with all the trimmings at a decent restaurant in Pattaya, but what the hell; if you've got it, spend it. Yet even if I had it, I'd feel guilty spending almost $90 USD for lunch.

Oh, and unlimited Booze too.When you live in a country with some of the most exotic food available based on some of the freshest raw materials why on earth would you want to eat imported food. Frozen, travelled, unfrozen and then cooked. No way.

If the lunch / dinner buffets are at the same level of hte brakfast, I can say it is very acceptable. Ideal for the lazy ones not willing to go out for lunch after a night out.I do recall Majestic G had a quite acceptable breakfast, but may have terminated a bit early.
Usually my measure of the worth of a buffet, is going to revolve around how good the seafood is, since if I am going to pig out a bit, I obviously want non-fattening seafoods, like nice sashimi, unfortunately I am somewhat allergic to prawns (at least the prawn farm ones. Probably too much chemicals) , but nice fish and shellfish impress me. Okay some very nicely roasted (rare) beef, duck or lamb would have me interested, a good variety of green vegs, and plain salads. Might be hard to meet these standards for just 300 Baht. So I suspect I would rather just have a simple lunch.
Generally, I don't go in for buffets unless quality is superior. Eating food has to be about great taste, healthy, and not really the quantity. I am dropping the kilos, so low on simple carbohydrates. I eat only brown whole grain rice now. I can eat fatty meat and still lose weight without a problem, but am a bit bored with pork and chicken since Thailand has so much of that to eat every day.

Thanks againI am quite sure the GM is under the 3200 Baht Mystery deal as it matches the room size of 38sqm and other descriptions. I am waiting another month to book (try the first night to make sure) either the 3200 Mystery deal OR the Aloft (love the location). Pity the Aloft has gone of the mystery deals. The 3200 baht mystery deal can't be seen this month. You have to go forward in time. Check from December 12 onwards.

I would never take that gamble.The thing is that it's not that big of a gamble when you share information in places like ISG. I stayed at Aloft on Soi 11 a few days back. I got the room for 1900 baht as a mystery deal. Not too big a mystery either when you read the description on the site. I came on here and reported how to identify that hotel as a mystery deal. At 1900 it was good. The Aloft website listed the room for 3000 ++ and I would not have been happy with the room for that price. It worked well for me.

Fast Eddie 48I'm looking as well for a no thrill hotel (not kind of Grand Millennium style) in the Sukhumvit area. Only an important feature is to have in my room a safe box (and not only at the reception). Would you recommend one?
My point is, why buy something you are not sure about? Especially in the 3k price point? I would never take that gamble.Think they are trying to get a 5K hotel for 3K. Just like Hotwire. Com
Here is the description on Wotif. Is it the Aloft? It may be a great deal, because it includes breakfast.
Shh. It's a luxury 4. 5 boutique on prime location of Sukhumvit central, daily Breakfast included for 2 people. 42" Plasma and theater technology. Bangkok's best stylishly boutique stay. Sukhuvmit entertainment, nightlife, skytrian, all within short walk!

(oh yeah, I forgot, Oilies do that already with the Photo book, seeing as the girls look completely different).It seems that people take Escorts and out calls from MPs without having met the girl first. Sometimes guys go by recommendations since the girl is rarely in the line-up. Have to admit my first visit to Kristin (Angel) was based purely on a photo, however I prefer not to do that too often. Its a big gamble. Likewise, I don't take the hidden specials unless 100% sure what it is.

They do have a very good breakfast buffet that was included when I stayed. I do not see the phrasing,"new, stylish," for Aloft as a Mystery Deal but they are on Wotif as a "flaming deal" at 2, 472 baht per night with a room upgrade if you book 3 nights. That's for the next 10 days or so. I did not look further. (I got it as a mystery deal at 1900 about 10 days ago.) You guys who are looking for these big discounts in high season are probably not going to find them.

Has anybody got any info about Eastin Grand Hotel?Yes, it's right off Surasak BTS with a direct link to the Skytrain. They have a package on the website that offers 2 BTS daypass for free per day which makes it a good deal.
You can go from the 3rd floor Elevator (BTS Level) directly into your room floor (No Security, no walk of shame).
Rooms and amenities are 4 star+. Excellent Value for money.

SNIP.
Another I've stayed at in the past is Honey Hotel, soi 19.
Or if anyone has other ideas of a decent place in this price range (800-1900 or so) , I'd love to hear it. I seriously doubt there's anything acceptable for as little as 800 these days, so probably toward the high end of that spectrum is better.
ThanksI did a report on a stay of one week at Honey on soi 19. If I'm back in BKK Ill be there again. Its basic yet functional and the staff are good. Oh, and you can walk to Soi Cowboy in 5 minutes. Its pretty well lit around there as well. Didn't feel unsafe walking home at all hours.

I have been doing my fair share of reading ISG and other sources. What I find is that even if there are some lists of Girlfriendly hotels here and there information like that will soon change. Instead of fellow punters having to ask if this and that hotel is girlfriendly just write about the hotels which are not.
In general I guess all hotels in the famous mongerareas are girlfriendly (maby exceptions at Lumpinski which I have not stayed). I have stayed at Intercontinental (Bangkok) for regular girls purposes (and 1 Mixx girl) and that hotel is beeing regarded as a high class hotel I guess but no problem and they did not even blink their eye in reception / security when I walked in with a girl. In various Novotels (nice standard but not like Intercontinental) the same treatment. I guess the most important thing to do is to book a room for 2 persons. If you paid for a room with 2 occupants then I don't know how they realy can refuse you bringing one "friend" to your room. I have never ever, and I have stayed in many places in Thailand and mostly brought unlisted girls to them as well, run into trouble due to this. Sometimes security ask for I'd as a safetymeasure (fire etc) but that is it.
But for gangbangsessions 3 people and more I guess it is wice to ask upfront. For Grand president soi 11 no problem. I have brought 7 people to my room one time (actually that was not for gangbanging purpouses but the securityguy / staff could not know that. This was only for drinking a few drinks and for me having a shower before clubbing. Most of the crowd were friends of my freelancegirl).

From the hotel web site:
&9632; One child of 16 years or under sharing their parents' room will receive a complimentary extra bed and breakfast. Other extra persons will be charged at 1, 500++ BahtI think that is "extra persons" above the two people in one room.

I did a report on a stay of one week at Honey on soi 19. If I'm back in BKK Ill be there again. Its basic yet functional and the staff are good. Oh, and you can walk to Soi Cowboy in 5 minutes. Its pretty well lit around there as well. Didn't feel unsafe walking home at all hours.City Lodge in same Soi is a reasonable option for those on a tight budget. I used to stay at Honey. 20 years ago as staff were very nice but back then rooms were very small indeed. Haven't stayed there since road work occurred many years back making the Soi somewhat unusable at the time (muddy).
Right now Silq is quite good in Soi 19 although costs more. Some staff are foreigners not speaking Thai. Still prefer Admiral Premier (Soi 23) though. As many room guests as I like, no problem.

He could also consider the Crowne on Soi 27 (I think). It has mirrors but no windows I believe and is probably cheaper. Miami is also a cheap and nasty option. ;)
I haven't been to see Dynasty Inn newer rooms. Perhaps higher priced rooms have improved. The best way to upgrade in the past was obviously Dynasty Grande round the corner. It had very nice bathrooms and swimming pool in particular, but Restaurant food was sub-standard other than breakfast. That sticks in my memory. Hopefully they got a new chef who knows something by now.

I guess I need to be more understanding regarding the budget of some punters.
For 2-4 months in that area, you can rent a service apartment for around 15, 000 B a month.
Just google them.
Also, I stayed LT in the Phachara suites. It is upscale, modern with kitchen. I negotiated with them for about 50,000 B a night for a month.
Might be too pricey for some I guess.

]Over simplification. Most punters, who are either mainly sleeping / fucking in their room or out on the town do not necessarily go for the so-called smart modern hotel.
I am more interested (once I have established that the room is clean, the a / see works and the water hot) want a place with good friendly staff and a high level of service. One where one is known and addressed by name.

Now as far as Hotels go, some people still don't get it. There are a lot of smaller, trendy hotels that offer not only great service but better amenities and at a lower price.
It does not take a rocket scientist to know this.

It does not take a rocket scientist to know this.The big obstacle is RTFF. Not many can achieve that degree. Most think that ISG is a smartphone application: you click and you get immediately what you are looking for, if you set the location. If Jackson has to do an app he will still have to do one for each service : oily, split in HJ, BJ, FJ; soap massage, split in 2 pops or more allowed. Don't even think about GF hotels: one girl, two girls, thee girls, one girl and the here not mentionable extra gender, and so on and so on.

Far from taking it to heart I was simply making an observation. I personally would prefer not to be contactable by email and phone 24/7, particularly when mongering. To each his own. HOWEVER afer taking a cursory glance at your attached image I was overwhelmed with a sense of urgency and would be happy to kick off a fund for you to try and undergo surgery for correct to what appears to be apparent case of 'microphallus' [Google it if you so need] and I am sure Giotto will contribute. I am assured the local girls will be appreciative. Only kidding. Keep smiling.

I caused the narcissist Moebius to quit the ISG (and am proud of it) because I got bored with pics of his giant cock (every single pic he posted) that could have been tied into a Moebius strip, and made some comments the lack of pussy in his pics. Now I can't even be bothered to open the photo gallery, but suddenly get hit with a dick uninvited. :mad:
Tut Tut. You should know its against the rules to post someone's dick pic.What if my GF caught me looking at this web page with a dick picture on it? What would she thinK? I might have some explaining to do. Next she might be worried about whether I might like ladyboys or who knows? :eek:

The place is a dump. Spend $15 dollars more and go some place else.I did the Grande deluxe room at the Dynasty Grande rather than even check out Dynasty inn.
Good deal, great location, good rooms. One of the best gyms I've seen in a hotel. Big difference between deluxe which sucked and grande deluxe.
The place is a dump. Spend $15 dollars more and go some place else.However they have quite good comments on tripadvisor.
Are Majestic Suites better, they are +- in the same price level.
However they have quite good comments on tripadvisor.I have that certain budget conscious people liked to stay at Dynasty Inn, perhaps being close to Nana Plaza (not a need for me). It was at least better than Nana Hotel (not saying much). Dynasty Grande was easily better as was Dawin. Majestic Suites are very cheap but difficult to get a room.
Most Hotel advice is not useful because guys have very different standards and a difference balance between quality and price. I prefer approx. 4 star but sometimes use a good 3 star or a very cheap 5 star.
Dynasty Inn is probably a rather average ordinary 3 star (not one of the better ones). Below my standard and price range.
I prefer to be closer to MRT (underground).
However they have quite good comments on tripadvisor.
Are Majestic Suites better, they are +- in the same price level.Do what you want. I think MJ is also a dump.
The AC stinks and so do the rooms.
Also, you can hear the boom boom noise from Nana plaza gogo's pounding against the hotel until 3am.
But it does include a microwave breakfast.
Other than that its great. If you have limited money and can't spend another 15 or 20 bucks, go for it.

Lately I've thought that LeFenix has been good value but it is now showing wear and tear. You can sometimes find it for 1, 100 baht or so as a Mystery deal on wotif. Com. You can tell it's LeFenix because it states that it is 2 minutes from Q Bar, etc.

Jasmin Executive Suites.
All with very easy access to the MRT and BTS esp #s 1, 3.4. No hassles getting to the teen oilys on 24/1; 33; Thong Lor. Etc. Even I can stagger back to these hotels from Cowboy.

The discussion can go on for ever. What does amaze me is that visitors who will pay $1, 000 for a flint then quibble over a $5 difference in hotel cost. Location, location, location is perhaps a key factor.
We each have our own ideas and it is not as if Bangkok is over whelmed with tourists. F you don't like your first choice. Move!

I think Quality is important in anything you do. Eating, sleeping, fucking. There has to be a minimum Standard.Eating is not important. You can eat somewhere else. Not many hotels are really impressive for food at a very good price.
Many hotels are adequate for sleeping. Grand Millenium has great beds and great breakfast but is not always my choice. Depends on the price at the time. Dynasty Grande was a great hotel except for crap food when I stayed there. Chef had just no idea at all. Simple remedy was to eat elsewhere.
Everyone has a very different minimum standard. You can't expect everyone to adhere to your minimum standard. Some guys maximum budget is below your minimum standard. Why should we care. Each to their own. There will always people looking for a budget room well below my standard price and miles below yours. Some people want to keep their limited money for mongering.
Why do you have a problem with someone who wants a room only to sleep?
Not everything in life has equal importance and therefore need not have equal quality. Each person must prioritise what things matter the most.
Does my room have highest quality DVD player at no additional charge? The Admiral Premier has a DVD player, but who cares if I do not use it. It has a fantastic sized fridge. Useful to me but not to everyone. Its down side is the batrooms are not well designed. This could be very important to some and very unimportant to others.
Admiral Premier doesn't bat an eye when I take 3 girls to the room for sex party. Now that is what I call important.

I am really on vacation, not just here to monger (though is there a difference?) to that end I chose the Conrad Hilton. Fantastic hotel, I got points off on it and even if I paid full price this room is well worth it.
I don't, I just find it weird that someone would spend 1, 000 Euros to come all the way to Thailand and stick to Bottom-end places just to save 10 bucks.Because they probably saved that money over a year or two. Not everyone is rich as you and have the privilege of living in BKK. And then again, some people really don't care as long as they have some decent place to stay. Clean and sober.

Especially if the OP is a Marriott Rewards Gold or Platinum member so he would get to eat free at the Executive Lounge at the J. W. Can see Nana Plaza and the infamous parking lot from the windows of a lot of the rooms too (checkout the red Cascade sign).

I stayed at the President Palace on Soi 11 for one night last week. I booked a Superior room, which is the hotel's lowest level room. It was a big room and had a big bathroom with a decent size walk-in shower (but no tub). The room was very clean, but showed some wear (some stains on the carpet, scratches on the bed frame, etc.). I paid $50 on Agoda, but that was a last minute deal; the room usually goes for about $64 on the same site. No free breakfast, but free Wifi. Ethernet cable was provided as well. For a hotel, the gym was decent: a few machines in good condition and free weights up to 20 kilograms. I was able to get an average workout there, which for is quite good when traveling. The hotel is about a 4-5 minute walk from Sukhumvit Road, about a 7 minute walk to the Beer Garden, and about a 10 minute walk from the Nana Entertainment Plaza. Overall, I would stay there again, even at the higher rate. I attach a few pictures of the room below.
I can confirm that the Aloft Hotel in Sukhumvit is girl-friendly. Brand new, Starwood hotel. It's only about 10 minute walk to Sukhumvit Road, maybe 15 minutes total to Nana Plaza and about 20 minute walk in other direction to Soi Cowboy. Very nice, minimalist modern hotel with a nice bar and cafe. The clientele are a mix of mongers, but mainly Western tourists. I got a great deal for only $70 a night with tax. Some of the nicer rooms are very high-tech with touch screens and more. Even the basic room has plugs where you can plug in your iPad and stream video onto the big screen TV. Girls may or may not have to give passport, depending on who is on duty at the time.

At the aLoft, like many hotels, you can waive off the doorman's request for a passport / IDs from your guests.
Literally, just waive your hand at them.
IMHO, unless you know the girl, it's a good thing to have the front desk make a record. It serves you more than the hotel, but if it's not your thing, now you know how to avoid it.

recently had a few nights at this establishment. it is right under the nana skytrain so location wise it is bnrilliant. [5 mins to nana plaza. 1 min to [CodeWord901] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord901)'s and short walk to soi 5, 7.7/1 etc. ]
rooms don't have outside views as the glass is frosted but that that wasn't such a minus for me. the room was solidly appointed with all requirements met and the included brekky was also adequate. staff very friendly and the place is totally gf. at about $60. $70 it takes beating. entrance is through a tailor shop on suk road or enter soi 8 and take the first small lane on the right. main entrance is at the end of the lane on the right.
overall a nice place in a brilliant location. only small drawback is there is some contruction going on next door so the re was some construction noise during the day. i was drilling at night and they were drilling during the day. .

I quite clearly did not make the claim of 1k a night for Phachara. I said a savings of 1k a night.
And what is 216 divided by 3?
I don't know where you are searching your hotels. I just searched Booking. Com for 3 nights in August at both hotels. Phachara Suites is $225. 00. 3 nights at Dynasty is $216. 00.
So for 9 dollars more, you get a nice kitchette and bigger room.
I also like the Dynasty Grande. But Phachara is a better deal I believe.
Not 1k a night more like you claim.
To each their own though.
Anyone know a decent hotel (non sleazy area) which has rooms with 2 queen beds? Searched quite a bit but haven't been able to get one under $100 per night.
Appreciate your help.

Can you read or do math?
You said you saved 1k a night by staying at Dynasty Grande and "not" staying at Phachara Suites. That means you claim Phachara Suites is 1k more per night than Dynasty Grande.
That is not true.
I just left BKK a few days ago and stayed at both places. I now feel Phachara Suites is quite a bit better than Dynasty Grande for a few dollars more per night.

I've stayed at the Sheraton a few times and like it for it's proximity to Soi Cowboy, Asok BST, being one stop from Nana Plaza but I'm wondering if there are other alternatives that are as nice but not as expensive. I usually book the Rama suite because it's got a jacuzzi inside and a private garden with another jacuzzi outside but at 23, 000 TBH at night I don't think it's the best deal in Bangkok. I'm trying a couple nights at the Landmark on the return leg of my trip but I don't think that suite has a jacuzzi though. Any suggestions for other nice GF hotels, preferably with a nice big jacuzzi tub?

Any suggestions for other nice GF hotels, preferably with a nice big jacuzzi tub?If you are looking for a suite hotel then check out Admiral Premiere Hotel at the budget end and Sukhumvit Park Marriott Exec Apt at a reasonable priced higher end. I have stayed in suites in both hotels. The admiral suite (65 sq. Meters) at the AP is a bargain at under $100. The one bedroom suite at the Sukhumvit Park Marriott is more luxurious and yet much cheaper than what you have been paying at the Sheraton. But note, the Sukhumvit Park Marriott Exec has a 7 minute walk up Soi 24 to Sukhumvit and the BTS station. The walk passes by some famous oily massage parlors, but other than that, its location is not as convenient as the Admiral Premiere or the Sheraton. I do like both hotels, however, but for different reasons.
Any suggestions for other nice GF hotels, preferably with a nice big jacuzzi tub?The Fusion Suites have rooms with a jacuzzi and are near Soi Cowboy.
Other nice hotels in that area are S 31, SilQ and Millenium Grand

Soi Cowboy is even closer to your hotel and I am sure any of the girls working there know all about ST hotels / rooms in that area.
The Westin fronts Sukhumvit and runs along Soi 19. Where the new Terminal 21 mall is located. If you walk down Soi 19 you will have Lisa' Massage and Friends Massage which are a minute walk down Soi 19 on the right side. Across from these two is a new joint called the Dead Sea Spa. Just saw a bunch of Japanese exit the place. Just 10 steps down is a Sub Soi and if you go left into it there is the Luxury Massage and 50m past it is one of the Bangkok's Massage Kings joints named Chivit Chiva.

Yes very much so when I stayed there earlier in the summer. Some nights had three to four "friends" together and the doorman greeted me with a "U the MAN" smile.
I very much liked the overall hospitality at the hotel and if you like to relax before you go out for the night, spend the extra money to upgrade to the Club Level rooms. The view is awesome and hanging out in the lounge with your girl at cocktail hour and starting the reveleries early is totally worth it IMHO.
The other good thing about this place is that housekeeping brings in special bath salts and two type of massage oil at evening turndown and the girls seem to really love that stuff.
Brings back fond memories.

My apologies, I was refering to the Plaza Athenee at Ploen Chit bts. It is a Le Meridian property. Their morning breakfast in the cafe at the lobby level and Sunday brunch in the same place is awesome too.
The only thing I didn't like with the hotel is the location of the pool. It gets shaded by the hotel pretty early in the day making it tough to find a decent place to get some sun in.

We had a girl up to our room a few days ago (my wife is bi) and there was no joiner fee. They simply asked the girl to leave her I'd at the front desk. The staff is terrific and the location on soi 8 is perfect. Highly recommend.

Seems there are four hotels on that street by the same company, and they all appear more or less the same. On 8, 11, 16, 23. Prices don't seem to differ, so I'll just go with the one which has the best location / reputation. Probably 23 or 16.
That being said, in Thailand in general, can you go to a place and find a hotel relatively easily in the first half of December? I'm booking this one ahead of time so I have a place to stay after my flight, but otherwise I'll traveling fairly randomly, so I can't book in advance.

TMTIts totally GF hotel. And they will NOT collect joiner fee. They will even ask for the ladys I'd card in the little guards house at the parking lot in front of the hotel. And when she leaves you might also get a call from the reception asking if everything is okay.

I'm booking this one ahead of time so I have a place to stay after my flight, but otherwise I'll traveling fairly randomly, so I can't book in advance.If you plan to go to tourist areas, you may get some difficulties to find a room, or at least the prices will be higher, since it is the busy period of year. Of course outside of tourist areas, there simply are less hotels, unless you are willing to go "native" and stay in very simple (ande cheap) hotels that cater to the Thai travellers. I have done that myself and there is nothing wrong with these hotels or guesthouses, but the comfort level is perhaps not what you are used to.
The Phachara suites, is it GF. Will they allow 2 girls, I book a double room- a suit, is any ID check there while coming or going out.

Hi, there is a Best Western PREMIER on 78 Sukhumvit Soi 1, near the Bumrungrad Hospital. I think it's new.
There is mass confusion on TripAdvisor, Agoda and everywhere about that hotel and the Best Western PLUS elsewhere in Sukhumvit.
Looking to find out if the PREMIER version is GF, and if anybody has stayed there. Also, what's proximity to massage parlors, Nana, Soi Cowboy; but mostly need to know if GF.

Can anyone suggest some GF hotels close to the main centres where the major night life happens? I would be looking to take one or more people to the room.
My requirements are a basic clean room with adequate safety so that I don't have to worry about leaving my valuables at the hotel when I leave. Would there be anything that meets my requirements within say 1500. 2000 Bahts? Or is that too low?
Any help is appreciated.

I stayed here for a week over Christmas 2011 in an Deluxe Club Floor room. I got a very good deal on Agoda which included access to the Club Floor services.
Have to say that the whole hotel was getting very tired, the Club Floor facilities were below par and in fact we went downstairs and paid for breakfast once.
It is in a good position on Soi 11 but these days there are so many better options.

Then that's where I will be staying next time.
Not long ago had a funny experience. A hotel refused to allow me to take a 19 yo (almost 20) to the room as a visitor. I was surprised as had no idea how old she was. I then indicated I would have to check out and find another Hotel. They could not understand why. Once I explained that I intended to have the girl stay with me for a very long time, they mentioned that if the girl checked in as normal guest, then no problem. Okay so checked her in and everything fine. So now it could be pretended that she was my girlfriend and not a paid girl. They did not provide her with another key to the room. Seems a silly distinction that you can fuck a 19 yo (or perhaps much younger still) long time as a girlfriend (if you trust her enough to check her in) but not short time. She is fucking everyone on a daily basis in any case and other Hotels did not seem to enforce the same rule. It would have been possible to check her in and then allow her to leave after 2 hours too. In countries like this you need to play along with procedural nonsense and find the quick way to get around the silly official rules.
I believe many MPs officially do not employ girls under 20, and will say they are 20 if they in fact are younger. Meanwhile bars freely admit to having girls way younger that possibly do not go to Hotels where Ids will be checked. Many bars have the upstairs room for covering ST with these girls or ST Hotels can be used. Personally I advise against going with the 16 year olds, even though they may be physically mature and fucking regularly. I usually ask the age If not too sure, but rarely do these types appeal anyway.

Once I explained that I intended to have the girl stay with me for a very long time, they mentioned that if the girl checked in as normal guest, then no problem. Okay so checked her in and everything fine. So now it could be pretended that she was my girlfriend and not a paid girl.Does anyone else have experience with Hotels refusing to allow a 19 year old visitor?
Hello,
This will be my first visit to BK, and wonder a little about the hotel
Dynasty Grande Hotel (Sukhumvit Soi 6) , is it GF will they collect joiner fee?
Thanks a lot in advance.
GaisIt is girl friendly, good hotel, ideal location
Please RTFF last 6 months of this forum you will get post graduate degree in Bangkok mongering.
Enjoy life
Does anyone else have experience with Hotels refusing to allow a 19 year old visitor?The only thing I can think of, is that your hotel is trying to discourage mongering there. In case you bring in many different girls in one day.
I'm guessing your in an upscale hotel.
As far as my experience, the only trouble I've had, is when the hotel hits me with a 500 Baht joiner fee.

there was no issue with girl over 20.was the same clerk on duty for both times? maybe the time you got stopped, it was the manager.
or
the clerk didn't think the id was genuine - meaning he thought she was ****.
Grande Centre Point Sukhumvit Terminal 21.
If you are into extraordinary views on Sukhumvit through wide panoramic windows and into large rooms this one is for you! If you are looking for fantastic breakfast buffet or a little extra class then it is NOT! For my taste the choice on breakfast taste was quite limited. Allthough very new the hotel furniture already has some stains and the low point was the non functioning air condition in bedroom. The whole place is very much aimed at Chinese customers not that it bothers me too much, I wouldn't prefer to stay in a hotel full of my compatriots. Well cannot complain too much because the location next to Asoke station is quite convenient and the hotel is totally gf.
BTW Wotif is offering one of their mystery deals for this hotel (for 2999 THB including breakfast it is OK but I would not stay there again) :
* This is the 5 stars hotel, Locate at the central of business section in Bangkok. Hotel room consists of all with extra-high ceilings and wide panoramic windows to take in the extraordinary views of Sukhumvit. Connect to BTS and easy access to shopping centre. A new vibrant location*
Grand Millenium Sukhumvit.
In times where a new luxury hotel pops up almost every other week five years since opening made the furniture be seen as a little bit dated. But I still like the place as much as I liked when being there for the first time in 2009. Being a Soi Cowboy lover I can hardly think of any other place where to bring your girl to in an easier way than at the Grand Millenium. Only a five minute walk from SC to the entrance and no questions or raised eyebrows at the lobby. The so called walk of shame is very short here or can be avoided totally if you come with your girl through the back door.
I like the breakfast there (not outstanding but still very good choice of Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Wetern dishes) and the attitude of their staff. They are always bargains on latestays or on their own webpage. Would I stay there again? Definitely!
Four Seasons.
Well it's one of these places you are supposed to visit at least once in your lifetime but it left mixed feelings. Overall the hotel is fantastic and I really liked the decoration, they put so much effort in every little detail. But the experience of checking in was simply not accurate. I didn't have my hotel voucher printed out since I was already travelling when the idea of staying there came up. Many hotels before have dealt with this situation in a perfect way since I can always show the confirmation number or a screenshot on my mobile. Bot not the Four Seasons! They asked me to forward the comfirmation email to their address. Well, good idea, but how if they don't offer free wifi there? To cut a long story short they finally let me check in but in a way that made me feel uncomfortable.
I have also tried the Sunday brunch there and while the quality of the food was fantastic again the staff there wasn't too helpful.
There is a Wotif's mystery deal for the Four Seasons as well (4999 THB only) :
Unbeatable discount rates for staying in iconic 5 star luxury hotel part of global chain on Ratchadamri Road right in Bangkok CBD, steps to Centralworld Shopping and BTS Ratchadamri.
Has anyone stayed there recently?
Can you give me a few tidbits about the place?
Does the breakfast have any western selections? Bread and cereal?

or.
the clerk didn't think the i'd was genuine. meaning he thought she was ****.look i assure you the issue was under 20, but inconsistently applied by different staff.
one night arrived with one girl. they complained she wasn't 20 so could not be a visitor. checked her in instead.
one night i arrived with two girls. no problem.
another night, age was checked and one was 25 and other 19 (a very experienced 19, with a child etc.). same two girls.
then there was a problem with just the one under 20.
i have taken these girls before to admiral premier with no problem. there they sometimes want to see i'd and sometimes take no notice at all.
Can anyone advise if the Citrus Sukhumvit 22 Hotel is GF friendly?
I have emailed them, but still waiting for a reply.
My 1st solo mongering trip to BKK, any suggestions for best location, nearer Soi Cowboy or Nana?

I have booked myself in to the Dawin, Ecotel and Ibis Nana during my stay in Bangkok.
I hope all these are GF. Please do share if you know of any joining fees or other pros / cons of these hotels. This is my first time to Thailand and plan to indulge in the night scene there. I will be in BKK from the 14th to 21st. Any fellow travellers are welcome to ping me.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you so much for the help. I wish you were there in BKK at the same time. Would have been great to monger with someone who knows the scene.
I surely will post my reports once I am back. .
I will be in touch with you over pm, if it's ok.

A 17yo with two kids and many miles in between her legs (can ever happen) still is below legal age and LE will not take motherhood as an excuse for any monger to take her to his room.

Also, this is a Compass Hospitality Hotel. They have about 10-12 in and around Sukhumvit. All are GF.

i think my onlypoint was a girl that has a baby already and screws regularly could be considered a mature peron rather than a child, not looking at it from a strictly legal angle. i am not feeling like a **** by doing a 19 year old, who clearly wants to go with me and does it all the time. especially when i had no idea she was so young. i would try to stay away from girls under 18 due to legal reasons. usually staff at gogos i have been to often, would warn me if a girl is very young. so yes i will certainly avoid 17yo girls.
Dawin is GF and clean too, I styed there and have no bitches. Pool on the roof too

Both places are very farang orientated and I'm sure you will be offered something very much like the Thai version of an "American breakfast".
I think my onlypoint was a girl that has a baby already and screws regularly could be considered a mature peron rather than a child, not looking at it from a strictly legal angle. .Sorry but I disagree. A young teenager can't be mature if she had a baby at such a young age. Ok, also 30 yo ladies have unwanted children at their age, I know. But I still think things should be appropriate at specific ages. And a kid at 16, in a modern or semi-modern and advanced environment as Thailand, including a bit also rural Thailand, not the jungle, should not have kids.

Most of them have little idea about proper use of birth control.

I stayed at the:
Majestic Grande.
12 Soi Pha Suk, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand.
The place was very nice. Great service, clean, and girl friendly. It's been a while. Has anyone stayed there recently? Or would anyone recommend something similar. It's like a 5 minute walk to Nana. I've never been to Soi Cowboy. Should I try that?
Plan on being in town for maybe 3 days and maybe 5 days in Pats. Looking for hotel there also.
Thanks guys! It's been to long away from Asia.

Thanks guys! It's been to long away from Asia.The Majestic Grande is quite good really, especially if you want to be convenient to Annies. Nic's recommended Solo further down the Soi is a small but slightly classier Hotel although I paid more money for a bigger room there. JW Marriott is of course excellent if they have a good price special, otherwise a bit too expensive for me.
Walking around Soi is a bit depressing. The freelancer girls are not that great looking just after 1AM. Heaps of ladyboys.
Personally I prefer the more laid back more fun style of Cowboy with full nude girls in some bars like Suzi Wong. However Cowboy is definitely going downhill. Too many Coyote bars, even a LB bar.
Its essential to try Soi Cowboy and see what you think. I reckon about 9PM is good to catch the best looking girls still available. Very late it may not be so great.

I've never been to Soi Cowboy. Should I try that?Definitely. Cowboy is a must. I really prefer staying in the upper Sukhumvit neighborhood to lower Sukhumvit. It is just a much nicer and a more relaxed area to be in. In addition to Soi Cowboy, there is close proximity to the best oily massage parlors in town, and easy transport to most of the soapys. For me upper Sukhumvit around Soi 23 is the perfect location.
Here are 3 hotels that I have stayed in over the last 12 months. All three represent good values, are very comfortable, and are well situated. But like all things in this world there are tradeoffs between the three. Not one of these hotels dominates the others in every important category. It all depends on what you are looking for.
The Admiral Premiere Hotel is a friendly smaller 3. 8* hotel with large rooms and a nice rooftop pool. It has a great location on Soi 23. I like their roomy Admiral Suites (65 sq. Meters) which are great for entertaining company.
The Grand Millennium is a more upscale modern hotel. The deluxe rooms are almost 5* quality, but they are smaller than rooms at Admiral Premier. Unfortunately, the GM pool is in shade and has no view. The location like the AP is hard to beat.
The Grand Centre Point T21 is the new hotel on the block and is set up to be in direct competition with the Grand Millennium across the street. The rooms at Grande Centre Point are a little smaller than the Grand Millennium rooms, but very modern and minimalist cool. The pool on the 4th floor over Terminal 21 mall is fantastic and has full sun all day long. Grande CP T21 also has 3 tennis courts.
LOL I think that is nearly saying the whole Thai Culture is not mature, if girls cannot be taught to get the morning after pills when they didn't use the birth control correctly, unless their only excuse is they could not afford it. Most of them have little idea about proper use of birth control.No doubt about that and I was expecting a similar comment. My point was referred to those who judge those girls mature because they have babies at 16. In the best scenario, it is a forced maturity AFTER they become mothers.

Here are two great BKK Hotels that are just a little too far from the action.
The Marriott Sukhumvit Park Apartment Hotel is a damn good property. The rooms are pretty deluxe and large. Being a Chase Marriott card member, I was upgraded to a one bedroom suite (65 sq. Meters) upon arrival. The pool is good and in sun all morning until 1pm. The location is down Soi 24. It is a 7 minute walk to Mango / EZ Massage and Sukhumvit. This property would be my #1 choice in BKK if it had a slightly better location.
Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel is another fine Marriott property. I had a Marriott free night voucher so I decided to use it here. Upon arrival they upgraded me to a corner studio suite (46sq meters). What can I say? This was a very good room. I think the location of the hotel is inconvenient however. For the one night I stayed here, I enjoyed the change in scenery and took advantage of it by stopping by Spasso and picking up a girl. But for a longer stay; I think it would be just too out of the way for me. Another con of this otherwise excellent hotel is the indoor pool. Totally useless in my view.

And maybe even consider the 4 points on soi 15, that way you'll be right in the middle between Cowboy and Nana Plaza

Member #4698

Isn't this hotel connected to Chit-Lom BTS?The hotel is about a ½ block to the Chitlom BTS. I don't think it is connected to the BTS. I believe you must first walk outside the hotel and then through an adjoining shopping mall to get to the BTS. That's one way, but I found it faster to just walk across the parking lot in front of the hotel.
And as you know, Chitlom BTS is 2 stops from Nana. 3 stops from Asok, and 4 stops from Phrom Pong. So it's not as convenient to stay here as it is to stay at JW Marriott, the Majestic Grande, the Westin, the Grand Center Point T21, the Grand Millennium, the Admiral Premier or a bunch of other hotels in the Sukhumvit Neighborhood. I like rolling out of Soi Cowboy and falling into bed. On the other hand, the Renaissance is a damn fine hotel and the central location is good for shopping, restaurants, and other touristy things. I have seen internet deals for around 3100bt / night. If you are a member of the Marriott Rewards club they will upgrade your room if available on arrival. Sweet. So the quality / cost ratio at this hotel is very high. As I said earlier, I had a free night voucher from Marriott and I chose to spend it at this hotel. Now that is a great deal.
I stayed at the Westin in '02 I think. It is a good American style hotel. I have nothing bad to say about the rooms and you know I like the location. I think I paid around 4000bt / night back then. I remember because at the time I thought it was a good deal. The rack rate was much higher. Today the same room can be had at the Westin for around 4400bt, but at the same time you can also book an equal or higher quality room at the Grand Millennium for around 3000bt. So I don't think the Westin is that good a deal in today's market. Just my 2 baht's worth.
I'll second the fact that this is a great hotel. If I can get a good rate via Latestay I'll spend a few nights in it. And as said it is not all that close to the farang action but for a few days it is enjoyable. And easy to bring in take aways. It is NOT connected to BTS. Down and across the parking lot as said. But a short, easy walk assuming one is not mao.

It means these girls will have little other options left than to join the crowd of bargirls to make a living.

I have stayed at the Majestic Grande twice. Once several years ago within months of their opening for business, and then again earlier in 2012. I was impressed the first time around, but disappointed with my second stay. The hotel is run down and in desperate need to a makeover. Customer service was not particularly good the second time around, and the area around the hotel appears to have gone downhill. Definitely GF, though.

Place is awesome. Stayed like 3 times. Rooms are newly renovated so kinda fresh feeling. Right in middle of adult playground if your taste. Best bang for your buck. But last time when I stayed there they stopped giving free breakfast to any rate lower than THB1000. I would recommend it.
Has anyone stayed there recently?
Can you give me a few tidbits about the place?
Does the breakfast have any western selections? Bread and cereal?
Lets say I touch down in BKK at 1230am. Reach Sukhumvit around 130am.
Find a streetwalker around 2am, will there be available hotels to take me in for a night?
If yes, what are the hotels I should avoid?
I can only check in at my hotel in the afternoon.

Customer service was not particularly good the second time around, and the area around the hotel appears to have gone downhill. Definitely GF, though.I stayed there recently too. I thought was marginally better than a few years back. At least Wifi was included without extra charge. Breakfast was not (in my particular price deal) but I did not need B / F anyway. Would have paid extra for it if I was up early enough. The girl didn't want B / F too.
The main reception desk was well under staffed, with staff too busy taking the phone to give proper desk service.
The lobby coffee area service was very slow too. So I would say its fine to stay if you want to be close to Nana or Annies, but forget it if you want service. Service is not something I am normally looking for, as long as my room gets made up okay.
As Nic recommends (I think), Solo may be small, but better than Majestic for service. Its only draw back is being deeper down the Soi and just one elevator (lift).

I guess you mean you have booking for a Hotel the next afternoon, but they have no room for the night you arrive. Would help if you specified where you want to be located and the price range, then someone could suggest something. You could then book ahead if you wanted to. There are many crap Hotels to be avoided. I would not try to name them all. E. G. Miami, Crowne, Nana, etc.
Alternatively you could list some Hotels you are considering, and then the posters here would only be too happy to heap shit on them. :D So maybe that is not the best way after all.

It seems this hotel is really great. Now it would be Perfect if Giotto could be removed Completely. Hahaha

Just book a room at the Westin Grand Sukhumvit you'll be closer to Asoke.
And maybe even consider the 4 points on soi 15, that way you'll be right in the middle between Cowboy and Nana PlazaThe Westin Grande is a lovely place to stay: it's a couple of blocks from Soi Cowboy, there is that nice Terminal mall across the street, and the hotel cafe is a relaxing place to escape the madness of Bangkok.
It has one drawback, though: a brutal walk of shame. The lobby is actually on the 7th floor, so to go to your room, you have to cross the ground floor lobby, ride up the elevator, then walk past the cafe, concierge and registration desks before you get to the elevator that takes you to your room. It's probably girl friendly, but I was too shy. Next time, I'll try the Four Points, especially the given "back door" entrance on Soi 15 that another member mentioned.
It's probably girl friendly, .The Westin was, and probably still is, very girl friendly. Even taking 2 girls to my room was no problem at all. I didn't care about the Walk of Shame and it seemed that the staff didn't care either. The girls even didn't have to leave their ID at the desk.
Anyone have any recent intel on the Radisson Suites Bangkok in Sukhumvit Soi 13? Girl friendly or not?Girl friendly. As a bonus there is no walk of shame, as the front desk is to the right of the entrance, and the elevators to the left. Rooms are very large for the price and fresh since the hotel is quite new. There is a larger than average empty mini-fridge, but not the disposable toothbrushes appreciated by hygiene-minded but unprepared visitors. Free and trouble-free wifi.
The hotel's middling price and size means it doesn't cater to groups, making for good privacy. A pretty good choice for Soi Cowboy, especially if taking advantage of one of Club Carlson's many recent promotions (got 50K+ CC points good for 2 nights here out of a THB2330 stay in May!)
The Westin Grande.

There is actually no problem at all (I've never had my guest asked for I'd at any of the major international chain hotels in BKK, except for the non-GF Holiday Inn Silom when I was young and inexperienced in the 90's) , but the front desk staff usually gives a surly glance.
The Four Points is totally GF and has a very relaxed vibe: the walk of shame isn't really one. Its Soi 15 entrance does require use of the room's keycard. Its tubs are large enough for soapy-style double occupancy. Just don't let your girl fetch you an undercooked meatball breakfast from the street vendor out front!

If you are shamed, you could stay at Silq where can take elevator direct from Car park to your room. Grand Millenium you can use the back entrance. Admiral Premier is also possible to enter from Car Park I think (I don't bother).

Noone really cares. I have seen girls who work at some of the hotels I stay at, at FL places when they get off work.
I walk proudly and smile and laugh.
I guess one exception would be if you have LB in your arms. Is that you?
Unless you really fancy the hotel receptionist, I don't see the problem with it being known you are taking girls to the room to fuck them. It happens so regularly at these Hotels. Who cares? Don't stay at same Hotel as your business colleagues. Don't take a GF to same Hotel as you monger at.
Just make the clear distiction in your mind. Hotel X for me is specifically for mongering. I can happily walk into LL or AP with two or even three girls.
Actually LL Sports bar girls need some extra training, not to ask customers where they going. Could be going across the road to buy condoms late at night. LOL. They know very well, but should avoid comment for the more shy customers.

Stayed at the Aloft on Soi 11 and was pleased with the hotel service and location. They even called to let me know my GF's were leaving the building. Great service, not shame.
My customer event was at Royal Orchid (Bang Rak) and I happily MRT & taxied over each day knowing that at night I would be close to the best spots and my hotel.
Its called the "Walk of Pride". If you are shamed, you could stay at Silq where can take elevator direct from Car park to your room. Grand Millenium you can use the back entrance. Admiral Premier is also possible to enter from Car Park I think (I don't bother).Sneaking guests in back doors is a very dangerous game. If you can do it so can many others. There are those that look for opportunities like this to profit and they don't care who gets hurt or even thrown of the balcony.

You don't know what you are talking about and I actually agree with Snuggles on this one.
There are many hotels with "backdoor" entrances to elevator. Phachara Suites and President Palace also come to mind.

Oh my God! I agree with both Syzygies and Luvpuss. There is no such thing as a WALK OF SHAME even if you are walking into a 5 star hotel with a total fugly. It is your trip. Be proud.
I often use the Soi 23 back entrance to the Grand Millennium. The girls and I prefer walking hand in hand down the quieter, more romantic (LOL) Soi 23 over the busy Asok Boulevard. None of my girls are dangerous. Maybe some of Luvpuss's girls are dangerous. I don't know. He likes to hunt on the dark side more than I do. ;)
Hotel Balconies:

That is the time I would be shamed. If she was fugly. At least if they know I am paying, it better be good quality. I don't like to take drunk girls that are very noisy. I am also a little embarassed with the girl (after a few drinks) who is so loud as to disturb people possibly already sleeping. I like girls who know how to behave outside the bedroom.

There are those that look for opportunities like this to profit and they don't care who gets hurt or even thrown of the balcony.I think you mean failing to register guests (getting them to give I'd at the desk) could potentially be dangerous? Yes, I agree, with Freelancers it could be but Bargirls from known bars, chances are slim.

What about the Ramada Hotel & Suites in Soi 12? Is it GF?
Just booked a studio room, looks very nice and seems to have a great pool as well.
of taking such a stance with a respected member. insulting language is just evidence of a small mind.mr scorchin old chap!
come on. wake up. smell the roses! if every tom, dick and harry is allowed to run up the back stairs anarchy will break out. gangs will be roaming the corridors looking for opportunities. bib will be roaming the corridors looking for a sniff of **** action so they can line their pockets with whisky, beer and karaoke vouchers.
give me a nice, safe hotel, with no back stairs and on the ball security collecting id cards and checking girls' ages any day of the week. much better to be safe than sorry mr. s. you should know that sir! come on. get with the program. the farang safety hotel program. you know it makes sense in the long run and you in particular now should be very careful. don't forget we had one member on here recently claiming to have been drugged and robbed by girls of his hard earned cash! if my memory serves me right his name was greg london. come on greg. mr s and mr luvpuss need the benefit of your lesson learnt?
HAHAHA. Its OK, nobody respects me. I am fine with it.Yep. You are correct with that statement. I am also fine with it.

I prefer that "romantic" back entrance as well. Almost feels like bringing your high school crush to your parents home. LOL! Have to admit I'm a bit on the shy side so Grand Millenium is convenient for me. Even the main entrance isn't much worse.
BTW much more embarrassing than this walk of shame is returning late at night without a girl in your arms. I've done that in Hong Kong and Bangkok and really felt ashamed.
