Totally agree. Unless it's a bar girl or a freelancer who I have known for a while and trust, I voluntarily steer the girl towards reception and ask her to produce the I D. In fact I would ask her to have the I D before getting out of the taxi (reduce time spent fumbling in the bag at the lobby)It is one of the standard questions before I BF her. No good arriving at the hotel and finding out she doesn't have her ID on her.

Stayed there before, and it's good. I just returned from BKK and stayed at Park Plaza Soi16 this time, I regretted not to book Adelphi actually.Thanks! Booked in and will report next month.
Trying to get to Thai for New Years, I checked on staying at the Majestic suites, no rooms avail, any ody have a second choice for me, best location is key, girl friendly is a must, after reading a little going to check on grand Millennium and Park Plaza I think it's on soi 18, can anybody compare the two as far as location and so on, any info on being their for New Years also would be great, , any other sug for hotels is welcomed also.
Thanks

Hey guys,
Anyone stayed at President Palace Soi 11 recently? I stayed there a few times a few years ago. Got upgraded to business floor and got to enjoy the lounge etc. I enjoyed the large rooms and great location on Soi 11. But often felt it was a few years away from being a bit worn out if not renovated a bit. Can anyone comment on how a "normal" room is there these days without enjoying the business floor? I also liked how it was GF friendly.
Thanks,
AFI stayed at the President Palace twice in the last several months. No complaints from me. I will return.
Perhaps you could pick a nit or two, but I'd rate it as well-maintained and still a good value for the money. Friendly service. GF with no questions asked. Nice breakfast buffet. Nice pool on an outside deck. Small exercise room. Sorry, haven't experienced the business floors. You could do a lot worse.

In March me and my teenage son are travelling to Thailand. Our plan is to stay 2-3 nights in Bangkok. During that time we will spend time with a thai woman I know. So now I am searching for a hotel with a two-bedroom alternative. So far I found Grand President and Column. Column costs around 10. 000 bath per night, Grand President around half of that. Do anyone know of more alternatives. I tried searching on Agoda without success.

TCheck out the Marriott Hotel website and Fraser Suites BKK website.
The Marriott Executive Apartments Bangkok, Sukhumvit Thonglor is brand new. A 1 br suite is 2900bt and a 2 br suite 9000bt. Why not take 2 one bedroom suites adjacent to each other. It is much cheaper and you get more privacy or consider
The Marriott Executive Apartments. Sukhumvit Park Soi 24 which is another upscale property. A 2 br suite is 8400bt. And another great choice is
The Fraser Suites on Soi 11. A 2 Br connecting studio suite with 125 sqm is 7350bt.
I have stayed at both the Marriott Sukhumvit Park and the Fraser in 1 br suites. They were both great properties and afforded me the room to entertain my female guests in style. I will be staying at the Marriott Sukhumvit Thonglor apartments in March. Thonglor is a great street and close to a lot of clubs and upscale night life.

I found these rates on the respective hotel websites. I randomly punched in a February date and this is what I got. I am booked for a 1 BR suite at the Marriott Thonglor Apartments in late March for 2610bt/night. I updated my original reservation recently when Marriott dropped the rate. The original rate was 3300bt/night. I have stayed at the Fraser twice in a 1 br suite for around 3100bt. I have seen this rate on Agoda and at the hotel's web site.
With all the political uncertainty, I think it is a buyers market for BKK hotels. There are a lot of bargains out there.

I've been staying at Landmark for a while now. Not much to add to that except that the place has been great. Definitely girl friendly, though they do take the girl's I'd at the front desk. They call when she gets downstairs to make sure you're OK and not going "Wait, I had a laptop. And kidneys."
"Is everything OK there sir?"
"Yes thank you."
And then they hang up.
Anyway, Landmark has been a good little home but not at all cheap. It's nice and close to NEP, not so close to Cowboy, but that's fine. I recommend it for those who aren't looking for a budget option. Also, I recommend NOT getting the buffet breakfast. For a four star place, it's fucking terrible.

Guess nobody seen my post?Why don't you check out the Admiral Premiere and Asoke Residence Sukhumvit. Both hotels represent good value, offer large suites, and are very gf. There is nothing wrong with the Park Plaza, but for the same money or less you could have a 1 BR suite at AP or AR. Location, Location, Location, Value, Value Value.
I know a lot of guys also like the Phachara Suites Sukhumvit. I have not stayed there, but you should consider this one too if you are fond of Nana.
Grand Millennium is very nice. I like the modern well appointed rooms a lot. Location is great! But I do not like the swimming pool. It is too small and in shade all day. If you are considering the high end 4* plus quality then also think about the Grande Centre Point T21. It is modern, has a great location, and fantastic pool. If you can afford the grand suite, that would be the way to go, otherwise the deluxe premium rooms are very good too.
BKK has no shortage of great places to stay. It is hard to go wrong.

Just a heads up. I became a member of Starwood points program when I stayed at Aloft last year. Now I get promo emails and I've been wanting to try Four Points by Sheraton on Soi 15. I got a rate of 2, 800 on what usually goes for 3, 500. So I booked it. Well, you know the rest. I know the current workaround to that is using your smartphone as a wi-fi hotspot. I don't have one so I guess I'll be spending some time in their lobby this week.

450bt a day for internet sucks. Check out the rewards program with Marriott and/or IHG (Intercontinental / Holiday Inn). As a member they give you a room upgrade if available upon check in and free internet. In addition, if you sign up for a Chase Marriott or Chase Intercontinental Visa card you will receive 50, 000 bonus points immediately and a free voucher night every year. In addition the cards have no fx transaction fee. I am spending my free voucher night at the Renaissance BKK this year plus I have booked 6 free nights at the Jakarta Marriott and 3 free nights at the Singapore Holiday Inn.

Save some dough and perhaps extend my stay by couple of nites. Being a rewards program member, I am not looking for any other chain!

tough i've been staying every time for the last 5 visits to bangkok in nana i've not stayed at the jw. but its bang in the middle of the action just adjacent to soi 4 which the center of all action, so must be girl friendly as most hotels in nana are. also got a review from the net on this.
"jw marriott bangkok is a popular 5 star bar girl friendly hotel on sukhumvit road. it's located on soi 2 so it's right around the corner from nana entertainment plaza and plenty of thai hookers on soi 4.
when you approach thai bar girls and freelancers i would refrain from telling them that you're a guest at the jw marriott. why? because in bangkok, a room at the jw is 'paeng mak' or not cheap by thai standards. and the ladies know that. working girls know that marriotts are an upscale hotel name with upscale rates. so you can bet your house they'll ask for a lot of money for both short time and long time rates."
when you're there don't forget to visit "annies soapy massage that's right behind jw.
btw, saw your post on the chennai forum about a good escort, could you share her contact by pm please. have a nice time in bkk. my visit is also due in jan.

Isn't that whole Soi virtually a walk of shame? I could be wrong but is there anything totally legit there other than the Hotel. Perhaps I just have a memory of the hookers hanging outside the Subway and a few other not so classy monger places. Maybe just a little too close to the action for my liking. LOLI think the Aussie bar there is legit. But I've only been once.
That is a strange one. Possible she drank something first to inhibit the uptake of (or be an antagonist to) a subsequent knockout substance mixed into her saliva. Has been known for girls to play lolly transfer game too.After further discussion it seems that for someone who was to be giving a legit massage, she was quite insistent that she undress and wanted her nipples sucks. I think we found the transmission method. That is the last thing he recalls. Sucking her nipples. Anyway, now he knows better.

Hotel security can be very lax. I once heard of a customer, more than once murdering a girl and hiding the body under the bed, in same room and nothing discovered until he had checked out (Suk Soi 3 Hotel). Can't be sure the story was 100% true either. There was also the news about a couple who had drugs stashed in their luggage by someone unknown presumably linked to Hotel somehow. So be aware that really bad things are possible. Be careful about the Hotel selected and also the girls selected, would be the obvious advice.
I have never had any problems at all but very rarely take free lancers. Could be better to take free-lancers to a ST Hotel rather than anywhere where all your valuables are not locked up. I use ST Hotels a quite often. Taking an MP girl is easier and safer.I always take FL streetwalkers & have never had any trouble in hundreds of sessions over the years.
Just lock your stuff up, don't accept food or drink from them, & keep an eye on yours in mixed company.
Also refrain from mouthing her body parts such as in nipple sucking.
Avoid those who appear to have substance abuse problems whether with FLs, MPs or gogo girls. This problem is widespread & on the rise.
"If you enjoy pumping away on an object that would rather be texting on their smart phone than pretending to any interest in the work for which they've been paid? Then yes. This is for you!"
wanted her nipples sucks. I think we found the transmission method. That is the last thing he recalls. Sucking her nipples. Anyway, now he knows better.Not the first time we read about this "technique" indeed. I am afraid.
Right. I took that for granted. I am a Silver Elite member with a premier Marriott rewards visa card and a IHG Platinum Elite member with a Chase Priority Club Visa card. Membership has it's privileges.Indeed, sometime even a Silver card helps, if the hotel is rather empty. I have had gold type upgrades when I was silver (but not all the gold privileges). With a gold card it is nearly a certain matter (if they have rooms, of course). Even if sometimes they tell you it is an upgrade, but ultimately it is nothing special.

Beautiful 5 star property (well atleast it looks and feels the part) with service one would expect from an international chain (Millenium and Copthorne).
What I loved about GM is the well appointed bathrooms, lovely bedding, work station, socket inputs (AV) and power, USB outlets etc. Beautiful large tub with a separate loo and separate shower. Internet is bloody expensive though. Tip. Buy an AIS 3G tourist SIM for 400 baht (1 gb, plus 100 baht call credit) and create your own wifi hotspot with your phone.Agree on the G. Millennium. I find it worth doing the upgrade to Exec. Floor if it is available. Internet included as are breakfast, and late afternoon drinks / canapés etc. In the lounge. Some good massage places in vicinity too. Out the back door to 23. Handy for Skytrain and subway.

I think we found the transmission method. That is the last thing he recalls. Sucking her nipples. Anyway, now he knows better.Ah Yes. Its a well known thing in Thailand culture that when a mother doesn't want her baby to breast feed any longer, she puts "Boraphet" liquid, a foul bitter tasting substance from a climbing plant with spines (I think) , on her nipples and this terminates the baby's desire to suck very quickly. Also there is a folk story / joke conundrum about a woman putting poison on her nipples and asking "Who died?" Wasn't the baby, but the husband or lover died.
So in Thailand, the nipple technique is not a surprise at all. Presumably a very strong substance used like Rohypnol or horse tranquiliser.

I prefer the apartment hotels over the opulent JW and modern cool Renaissance because of the increased square footage.Thanks Natty,
The only reason I choose Marriot chain is cause of rewards program. I really don't want to spend on JW but read its a sure GFE property. Will be more than happy to shift to courtyard or Marriot executive apartments if they are GFE. Am dropping in a email to them today, lets see what they have to say about the joiner fee.
At HarCom, Thanks for the information on its JW's location buddy. I have stayed there a couple of times but both time lets just say the situation was that I cannot bring chicks to the room and leave it at that. PM'd you the details of the Seoul contact, not too hard to find on the ether.

I've just spent a few days at the Boss Suites on Sukhumvit Soi 4 (Nana Tai) and found it pretty good. I paid around AUD $60 / night for a double room. The hotel has a decent (although rather heavily chlorinated) pool and a gym. It's on the same street as Nana Plaza and not too far from Soi Cowboy. It's girl friendly for at least one girl but I didn't try multiple girls so can't comment on that.
Please can anyone advise as to whether or not the Tai Pan Hotel on Suk Soi23 is girl friendly or not? I have already searched this thread a number of times and can see no mention of this hotel. Cheers, Mac75.

It's an urban legend, like the kidneys. In almost every case I've ever read, when pressed further, the victim had accepted some food or drink from the girl.
Any incapacitating substance must consumed in some quantity. Usually measured in milligrams. A solution spread on a nipple isn't going to result in the sucker ingesting enough of the substance to put him to sleep for 12 hours. If there exists a substance so strong that just trace residue from a nipple will put your ass out for 12 hours, then it would have put the girl into a coma. Skin is porous and would certainly absorb most of such a substance.
However, there are documented cases of poisonous lipstick, used by nefarious ladies to poison their male targets. The best defense is to wear special lip protectors. I know it's true because I saw this on several episodes of Get Smart!

If you have any doubt, you better email the hotel and ask their policy on joiner fees. In practice most hotels have no problems provided you booked a two-person room.

If there is a substance that can act with only a few mg, I think its still possible that could have impaired the guy sufficiently to then give him something to drink afterwards as a booster.
I have no expertise on this subject, but I remain unconvinced that this method is impossible. Why would the girl have asked him to lick her nipples if there was no purpose? Is not exactly standard.

Is not exactly standard.I agree that it is "possible." However, I also have to believe something like that would also be absorbed via the very sensitive nipple area, thus having the same effect on the girl. That is, unless she's developed the nipple version of Agent 86's lip protectors.
But more to the point, about the only readily available drug that I'm aware of, that would have such long lasting effects as alleged, with such a small dosage, would be a roofie. A 1mg dose is sufficient to send some folks into orbit for several hours, although it depends on body weight, etc. However, the average Thai hooker won't have access to "pure" Rohypnol. It comes in tablet form (supposedly with a blue dye to make it obvious if somebody spiked a drink with it). It could be crushed and put into a dark colored drink. However, if crushed and dissolved, even if in a couple of ounces of water, it would still be far too much to spread onto a nipple (or two). I'm not convinced that the residue of such a solution would be strong enough to incapacitate somebody. And it would have to have an adverse effect on the woman as well.
In any case, it's a really bad idea to accept food, or an opened drink, from a total stranger. But if they can bait the trap with nipples, I guess they'll catch me every time. :D

If you see a girl with big hairpins, be very careful. Be even more careful if your taxidriver has big hairpins.

Even more serious is the ladies who coat their labia with a slow acting drug. They like to enjoy the licking and don't want you falling asleep before they orgasm. Remember if you are licking and she orgasms hard, you way wake up 12 hours later with nowt but your hard on.
It must be true; I am sure I saw an example on youTube.
If you have any doubt, you better email the hotel and ask their policy on joiner fees. In practice most hotels have no problems provided you booked a two-person room.I emailed the Tai Pan Hotel directly, they replied promptly and informed me that as long as I book a room for 2 people there is no additional charge for bringing a guest to the room. Their only stipulation was that they would want to see the id of any guest that comes with me, which I'm fine with. I also emailed Furama Xclusive with the same question and their reply was basically the same. So I'm considering both, thanks for your help, Mac75.

Stayed at the Landmark. Paid US$107 a night with taxes, reimbursed by my client. Booked a standard room. At check in requested an upgrade. They gave me a premium room on the club floor. Couldn't use the club room and didn't get any of the premium perks. Fine with me. My room was on the 29th floor. The 31st floor is the top floor and houses the steak restaurant. The elevator doesn't stop at the 30th floor. My room looked directly down on Nana Plaza. I heard no noise from the street and my floor was always quiet. The room looked nice but had some very awkward features. If I was working at the desk and wanted to place a call within the hotel I had to walk across the room to the telephone. The bathroom mirror was a narrow rectangle stuck in a corner far away from the lights. Obviously done to accommodate the glass wall separating the bathroom from the rest of the room. Housekeeping was great. I put 100 baht on the bed every day and got great service. I'd call housekeeping and ask for my room to be cleaned during a one hour time block I specified. It always got done on time. The food in the restaurants was average, overpriced hotel food. The bar had a 2 for 1 happy hour, but was still overpriced. The complimentary bar snacks were decent. The service was less than professional. I liked two things about the hotel: the location is fantastic and I got free use of the Fitness First Platinum Gym. Otherwise there are less expensive hotels with an equally good location and much nicer hotels that cost only a few dollars more.

Tai Pan Hotel is girl-friendly.Things may have changed (though I doubt it) but the Tai-Pan has long been notorious for giving people a hard time when they brought girls back. Yes, you can book a room for two and give them the girl's name and I D and all that, but if you just want a place where you can have girls come over without any fuss, it's probably not a good choice.

Hi everyone,
Has anyone been to, or has reliable info about the newly opened Ocean Livingstone in soi 33?
The photo gallery looks a bit unreal, all in white.
The rooms apparently have not changed much, but the food should be quite different from Guido's style.
I'll be in BKK from Jan. 25 onward and am considering staying there again.
Thanks.

DSI don't think you will find it as appealing as before.
Swimming pool closes at 6pm! Good thing is that the pool area is finally decent and enjoyable, but on "working hours",
Away has gone the Sport bar with the choice of inhouse ladies,
Gone is the all day breakfast option, and no more included in the room rate.
Rooms have stayed the same, with their useless dimmed lights,
The atmosphere is more lounge and cozy for (regular or semi-regular) couples and alikes.
The soi 33 location is no more much of a mongering one, even if bars and MP's still fill the soi.
The significant western influence also in the bar and restaurant might make feel the (guest) Thai girls uneasy, compared to the previous administration (although the staff needed some addressing under the Hermann times).
I stopped going there about two years ago, when the pool was left abandoned and the prices did not reflect the quality supplied, as I found other better options at same price.
The new venue doesn't appeal to me anyhow, so "Livingstones" is archived in my books.
Most likely we are not been the clientele they are looking for.

Most likely we are not been the clientele they are looking for.Agreed. I was about to say a shadow of its former self but saying 'shadow' with all the glaring white paint is inappropriate.
If you visited Livingstone's in the past don't expect anything similar now. Not good as a mongering base.
Soi 33 is a disaster desire comments to the contrary. Avoid as all the bars (bar 'The Office" are tatty.

Next report in the Annie's ThreadI also have been staying in Landmark many times, and it is really a very comfortable place, many places you can go withour any taxi or other circumstances, many things walking distances.
Quality of rooms is different, if you request for the renovated rooms you feel very comfortable.
Restaurants is in my opinion overpriced. You can find much better choices, but Overall the time in Landmark was always enjoyable. Never had Problems with brin the Girls in (Maybe it also results on my attitude and Treatment of staff in Landmark, Be always polite and friendly, then it Comes back in same way.
I guess to be there again in April or May this year. Looking Forward already with hot thoughts!
This is only an opinion on the soi. I used to go and stay there, but now it is a waste of time. These are only my reason and from what I observe. I used to stay at Livingstones and it was fine for me. I enjoyed the sports bar and breakfast. Breakfast not happening now from what I hear. (1) The area had mostly average priced shops although there were high end places. Business people used to go there after work. That worked for a while. Now you don't get the business people comming after work. Prices have gone up to where they are rediculous. Last I talked to a place it was 1800Bf. WTF. (2) The japanese have invaded the area. They move in and the Falang doesn't show up as much. They bring family and neighborhood changes.
(There was no business group working to keep local businesses and promotions going so everybody go do it yourself. (4) Location. Out of the mainstream from Lower Sukhumvet so need a reason to go there. To many other choices. I believe it is soi 35 or 33/1 that is now thew better soi. But it is a dinner, lunch crowd and drinking area. They have taken the client
I am sure I am not totally correct but this is what I see.

Actually, I'd stay there again because of the location and great gym, which I used almost daily. The staff was very polite and friendly. Had absolutely no trouble bringing ladies to my room. The staff was very polite with the ladies.
Thanks for your comments, gentlemen.
Unfortunately, they confirm what I had feared.
Having stayed there for 5 straight years, I had to miss out 2013 due to health problems.
When I tried to make reservations for this January, there was a communications snafu, so I booked elsewhere (Citadines 23) for the first week, fully intending to investigate Ocean-LL and possibly move there for the remainder of my stay. So now, I probably won't.

I stopped going there about two years ago, when the pool was left abandoned and the prices did not reflect the quality supplied, as I found other better options at same price.Would you care to elaborate on that statement, by PM, if you prefer.

Anyone know of girl friendly hotels that have two bedroom suites? Two seperate bedrooms, not a room with a living area and one bedroom.

Anyone know of girl friendly hotels that have two bedroom suites? Two seperate bedrooms, not a room with a living area and one bedroom.Emporium Suites, close to BTS, Cherry, Mango, Snow White, and many more MPs.
The Column on Soi 16, reasonably close to Soi Cowboy.
Fraser Suites on Soi 11 reasonably close to Level and Climax Clubs.
Phachara Suites on Soi 6 reasonably close to Annie's and Nana Plaza

Fraser Suites on Soi 11 reasonably close to Level and Climax Clubs.
Phachara Suites on Soi 6 reasonably close to Annie's and Nana PlazaThanks for the info, did a quick check and it looks like a two bedroom suite would about double the cost of booking two rooms at the grand president for myself and my buddy. I wonder if it would help or hinder picking up a couple of girls from Climax etc? What might the girls reactions be if we asked them to swap after an hour or so?

DSI just found similar pricing at majestic grand in so 2: closer to some action, better rooms (I would say more comfortable, but that is me) , better service (Livingstone was going down in the last 2 years) , better breakfast (albeit till 10. 30am).
I also experienced that, gaining knowledge and experience about the town, there was no need of an inhouse sports bar (with outrageous bar fine between 1000/1500 be.)
Soi 33 in itself did not have any value. I headed there just for Livingstone, thanks to the board.
Was happy to do so, but also happy to have moved elsewhere.
But do not limit yourself t my suggestion, plenty of more.
Breadman: I pose the same question on this board every year or two. 2 bedroom suites are great if you travel with a wingman. You can be alone or easily hang out together in a 2 bedroom suite. The problem with 2 bedroom suites is that most of them have a king bed in one room and a twin in the other room. That doesn't work for us in BKK. Who wants to sleep with a girl in a twin bed? Also 2 bedroom suites are often extremely expensive. I know Emporium has great suites but they are expensive. I'll have to look into Phachara Suites.
I'll add a few more 2 bedroom suites to Paul Kausch's list. Thanks Paul BTW. Grand President has huge two bedroom suites with a king bed in each room in Tower 3. I've stayed in them for the past 8-9 years but I want to find another place. Also On8 has connecting rooms with a large bed in each room. Connecting rooms seem to be a better (cheaper) option if they have large beds. Can anybody recommend a hotel with connecting rooms and two large beds?

Who wants to sleep with a girl in a twin bed?Yes, that's a really important point. I know The Column's 2-bedroom suites have two king beds. I don't know about the others. My experience is finding 2 kings is not highly likely unless it's a hotel that turns a one-bedroom suite into a two-bedroom suite with a connecting room.

I'm looking for a good place to stay for a month near the Sukhumvit action around mid Feb to mid March.
(Don't see many posts for this kind of thing here.)
Looking at serviced apartments and small hotels that offer very discounted rooms for long stay and my budget is to stay around 20000-30000 baht for the month.
Appreciate any helpful suggestions.
Anyone ever try the S. M. Grande Residence?

stayed at the s31 at christmas in one of their 'duplex' suites. here's my take on the place.
1. the main problem was that the internet (free wifi) speed is so bad it is unusable. you could easily wait five or ten minutes for a simple page to load (which often it did not). when i complained to reception, they actually had the nerve to ask 'have you tried turning your computer off and on again'? they never fixed the problem for the whole of my visit. i asked them if i could pay for better internet, but they said it was not possible. in the end i had to keep going to starbucks nearby and having to pay by the hour (or day). which is not the point. the point is the frickin' inconvenience.
2. the accommodation is not bad, but personally i would prefer two separate rooms in a traditional layout rather than this half-assed duplex arrangement. in fact it's more like a single room, with a mezzanine area for the bed. for example if one person is sleeping, then the other person can go and watch tv downstairs, but the other person can still hear the tv upstairs, which might keep them awake.
3. the quality of food we were given by room service was poor. we had it twice, so they can't say it was a one-off. the thai food was so bad (compared to what you find in restaurants and bars in the local area) , my girl was actually laughing about it.
4. on the positive side, the bed was really good. very comfortable, and very big. ideal for 3-somes (although i did not partake).
5. i thought the location was fine. it is actually on sukhumvit (at the junction of soi 31, obviously).
6. i rented 3 of the in-house movies, and the tv picture / sound for them all was very good. the normal tv reception was not bad either. better than in some sukhumvit hotels certainly.
7. if you are one of those guys who is concerned about the 'walk of shame' when you bring a girl through reception, this hotel is not a bad choice because you bypass reception anyway, because it is on the 8th floor (although you still have to pass the guy on the door downstairs).
that's about it. in summary, i would say it was not a bad stay. but if you think you might want to use hotel internet (even if only occasionally) , my advice is do not stay here. it really can [CodeWord140] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140) you off and put you in a bad mood. and avoid the room service.
Soi 31.
Most unusual to have poor internet in Bangkok and indeed Thailand. I stayed in half a dozen hotels in N Thailand last November and had better and faster Internet than the UK.
It's a bummer not having good Internet now.

IamjohnI never did (because they didn't had a swimming pool and no washing machine) but try Trendy Soi 13.
As I remember well they offered 1 bedroom apartments for THB 25. 000.
If the demonstrations of tomorrow (January 13th) is leading to new and longer unrest I guess also the hotel chains will lower their prices.
Honestly I hope that after February 2nd things are coming back to normal; I plan to come back to the area from mid February till early April.

Please can anyone advise as to whether or not the Tai Pan Hotel on Suk Soi23 is girl friendly or not? I have already searched this thread a number of times and can see no mention of this hotel. Cheers, Mac75.I have stayed in Taipan about 3 times before and it is not a very friendly hotel, They keep staring if you get a girl with you and also need an ID of the girl for what you have to wait at the desk and be there to sign a paper. Not so friendly attitude if you plan to get more than one girl avoid this hotel.

Sam's Lodge and Unico Express are 2 very cheap Hotels that I can remember but never tried around 1K per night. Sam's Lodge would not be a good idea right now as its Soi 19.
There is also Ruamchit Travelodge.
You can do searches on web sites like Wotif for Hotels under a certain price and in Sukhumvit area. Then you could contact them and ask what is price for a month.
Why do you want to stay for a month? Maybe you can't afford the mongering for a month too and might get bored with Bangkok after 2 weeks. Pattaya would be cheaper.

I am still trying to decide on my plans, and I am considering visiting Phnom Penh and HCMC first, and finishing in Bangkok.
Trying to be flexible given the political situation, too. Not sure but prices may be more reasonable because of politics now.

But seriously now, you can get a nice serviced apartment in Sukhumvit Soi 85 On Nut (Gardenville Apartments) for 5600 Baht per week or 1000 Baht per day. Its not that close to the action but can take BTS to the action and taxi back late at night. You can get something really shitty for this price closer to the action. atMind on Soi 85 even better rooms for less than 1500 per night on Agoda. I did not calculate exactly once taxes added. That might be too high though for your budget.
Many bar girls live in On Nut, so they won't mind so much spending the night with you in On Nut. If they live somewhere else completely, they might not like to go there.
I don't expect HCMC to be too good for mongering. Its possible but much more difficult according to friends who know a lot. One guy on the forum lives Vietnam but still comes here for broader mongering, as he is limited in Vietnam.
In my mongering experience in Thailand, if in mongering mode I spend a lot more money on girls than on accommodation or food. So I also do not waste big money on posh 5 star hotels just to have a bed to lie in. However intend to take the girls to your room, it should be of reasonable clean standard.

Thinking about trying Jasmine City hotel. Laocation looks great, but I'm starting to get concerned about negative reports about Soi Cowboy. I guess what appeals to me about this place is the proximity to the trains and soi cowboy.
They have a 'Grand Sales' promotion starting now for a Deluxe King room for 2900++. Which is about even if one used Late Stays Mystery room at 3350 (I think). This promotion does throw in free internet. Least the promotion part says free internet. The room details indicates it is extra. But I think it is just their boiler plate room information.
Huge discounts claimed now, if you dare go there:
"Meanwhile, hotels are offering discounts of up to 40 per cent, restaurants up to 30 per cent, and retail outlets, including those selling brand-name fashions, at all the shopping centres around Ratchaprasong are offering discounts of 80-90 per cent to boost sales."
"In happier times, hotels around Ratchaprasong, which have 4,000 rooms, enjoy an average occupancy rate of 89 per cent. It is now 30 per cent."
Was looking for Hotels with Kitchenette for low cost per night. I normally used Admiral Premier but was sampling some cheaper options with the view to possible long term stay.
Grand President has a wotif secret special at the moment. Phachara is good but not to the rock bottom prices. Excellent for short to medium term.
The reason I want Kitchenette is simply to get best selection of natural healthier foods (with lowest chemicals added) , need to cook for myself. I have portable induction cooker less than 2 Kg. Can buy these cheaply at Big C with steel pots / pans to go with them. They are excellent. The problem with prepared and packaged food in Thailand (and anywhere else) is everything is packed with high sugar. One of the very most dangerous foods. Even orange juice has high sugar. Just an example. Naturally the once big belly has gone away when eat all my own food (low sugar/carbs). Takes little time to cut up vegs for a stir fry, cook everything and eat it. But I'm a weird guy who wants to have best health and least problems for my old age. Sex and laziness are my only vices. Ha Ha!
Both Privacy Suites and Bally Studios at end of Soi 20 were about 1500 per night. I tried Privacy Suites and was quite happy as had balcony, microwave, large fridge etc. But no DVD player, no breakfast. I cook my own Oats anyway.
Next I tried The Bedrooms Boutique on Soi 77 (On Nut) for about 1300 per night (without breakfast). Great rooms but no kitchenette and no microwave. Still could use my induction cooker but not ideal.
Now have moved to @Mind on Soi 85, with full kitchenette and Breakfast included for around 1300 or so per night. Next will try another serviced apartment nearby that I may take on a monthly basis for a much lower amount. Its about a 5 minute walk to BTS.
There are lots of Serviced Apartments available in Bangkok. Many won't be on all the big internet web sites.

(Agoda USD 42. 75) Those rooms are large and well decorated in traditional Thai style, and its on Soi Nana. It is a bit of a walk to Sukhumvit, but they have a free tuk tuk to take you there. Sometimes breakfast is included but not on the present deal. It is girl friendly (girl leaves identification at desk.) Stayed there last in May '13. I don't know if they have a long term discount, but might be worth asking.

DocI only ever tried Citadines 23 as liked to be close to Asoke. Right now prefer to be on the high Soi side of Asoke due to ease of getting places. I did not like Citadines 23 for reasons a documented long ago but do not really remember the detail now. One was very hard beds. Another was the staff were causing hassles. I expect other Citadines may not necessarily have the same problems.
Hi,
I have just cancelled Citadines 23, where was I booked from this Thursday onward.
It was just too close to Asok for comfort.
So now I am looking at the following, all with Breakfast and Internet for around 1900 THB incl tax:
-Hotel Mermaid (soi 29)
-Amora NeoLuxe Suites (soi 31)
-Davinci Suites (soi 31)
-Admiral Suites (soi 22)
-Dubliner (the Pub) (soi 33/1)
If anyone has stayed at any of the mentioned places, please comment.
Also, any other recommendations would be welcome.
Thanks.

I have stayed at Jasmine Executive Suites on my last 2 trips. I have a room book for early March if BKK does not blow up.
The Hotel is great. Very close to Soi Cowboy, MRT and BTS. I would go to Soi Cowboy each night and pick a girl for the night. The girls liked the hotel as well. I cannot say enough about its location.

This hotel worked out really well for me. If you are travelling with a SO / family, the hotel is located few walking minutes from the Sukhumvit Road, so your SO does not get any notion that you may have some nefarious ideas about visiting any shady places / service providers. There are only few head and foot massage places on this Soi managed by plain / old / ugly looking females. If you can get out for a short time to buy things, go for a walk etc. You can easily walk to Mango massage, or Soi Cowboy or hop on the Asoke train station and pursue your hobby for the time you have available.

Just wondering if anyone has recent info on Majestic Suites as I am thinking of booking there in April?
I haven't stayed there since 2010, have the rooms been updated? If not are they old and tired and worth the money or would somewhere like Phachara be a better option although it is a bit more expensive?
How is the in room wifi?
Thanks in advance for any heads up.
Hotel rates expected to plunge:
http://www.bangkokpost.com/breakingnews/390437/hard-hit-hotels-ready-for-price-warI think pricey Hotels may be forced to drop their prices. Also Hotels that used to be often full or close to full like Admiral Premier will significantly drop their prices when under occupied. Its normal that price offers are not that special when Hotel is full.
For Hotels used to having lower occupancy, and already cheap, I don't think there will be that much change. Don't be too hopeful. Merely depends on whether Hotels think they can boost their overall returns with a drop in price or whether won't make much difference. The somewhat lesser known Hotels probably cannot.
Hotels are getting built all the time. New one on Soi 31 being constructed next to where I stayed. I don't see the logic behind it. Can't see big increase in tourism coming. Of course people want to stay in newer Hotels and avoid the ancient ones.

Hotels are getting built all the time. New one on Soi 31 being constructed next to where I stayed. I don't see the logic behind it. Can't see big increase in tourism coming. Of course people want to stay in newer Hotels and avoid the ancient ones.About a decade ago I worked up financials for a large hotel that was to be built in a major western USA city. When the per room costs were broken down, adding an occupant to a room only added about 15% to the cost of the room. In other words 85% of the room costs were still incurred when the room was empty. The debt, property taxes, G&A, etcetera still had to be paid. Hotels make a killing if they can rent a room at rack rate. Even at heavy discounts, say 50%, they are still doing a lot better than leaving the room empty. Many managers have the option to deeply discount rooms on a case by case basis. It never hurts to walk in, ask about the price at the desk, then ask to speak to the on duty manager about a better price. Unless you're fussy, always book the cheapest room and ask for an upgrade when you check in. On my recent trip I booked and prepaid a standard room and got a free upgrade to a deluxe room on the premium club floor. If they can't rent that more expensive room, it costs no more for them to put you in it than the standard room you booked. I did not get all the extra perks. The differences in the depreciation costs of the two rooms are negligible.
The overdevelop of Bangkok real estate is curious. It's not just hotels, also apartment buildings. I can only image the way the money works developers are encouraged to do construction that is not justified by the supply and demand. Heavy construction equipment gets leased; materials are purchased; architects and engineers get hired; construction workers get employed and paid. Those construction workers are busy, happy and stay out of trouble. And that's a lot of money flowing through the economy. For example, 1 baht in wages has more than 1 baht of impact on the Bangkok economy. That baht is spent by the construction worker on food. The person operating the food stall get that baht and buys ingredients. Etcetera. Economists can calculate the multiplying effect on a local economy of money coming from different sectors of the economy. Construction has one of the highest multiples of any sector. Probably all those new apartment drive down the prices in the slightly less new and less desirable "older" apartments, which makes the even older apartments even cheaper, etc. This may keep housing costs low for the average Bangkokian. I'm just speculating. It seems to me the strategy is to keep people busily employed, make food and housing affordable and keep people happy and peaceful.
The overdevelop of Bangkok real estate is curious. It's not just hotels, also apartment buildings.

The overdevelop of Bangkok real estate is curious. It's not just hotels, also apartment buildings. I can only image the way the money works developers are encouraged to do construction that is not justified by the supply and demand. .Right now a very good priced furnished apartment (cleaning available when desired) away from the fuss that has rooms on a daily basis is full.

Is there any reason you don't recommend Admiral Premier?
I would love to stay there if only they drop the prices.
Admiral Suites not recommended. I stayed at Amora NeoLuxe in December and was fine by me.

Mermaid looks good and probably worth trying. Look up in tripadvisor.
If you edit your post, you can remove excess CRs.
It sounds like good bargains are to be had now in BKK:
"I had to book a hotel in Bangers for Tuesday night, airport area.
"Just look at the discounts on agoda. Substantial, a hotel with a good rating next to the capitols international airport for 14 quid a night including transfers."
Ladies are probably quite desperate too.

A number of Japanese guys live there. Also some tours stay there. AP never batted an eye when I walked in with 3 girls for ST. These days 3 girls is a bit much for me.

Ladies are probably quite desperate too.Hotels dot Com has sent its members an email advertsing 50% and more discounts on BKK hotels.
Grand Centre Point on Soi 19 is listed at less than half-price.
Porbably something to see w / protesters unrest.
Might be a textbook case of "Buy low", though.
Hello,
I am looking for recommendations on places to stay near BTS Nana. Where I can walk to the station and also walk to get a freelancer. I'll be there 11 nights in total, but split by 4 days. Of course guest friendly and WiFi are a must, and towels. I'd like it under $40 USD a night. Anyone?
If you want a super low price, Bobson's Suites formerly Euro Grande can get a 32 sq m room with stovetop & microwave for under 1K Baht per night.

Sounds incredible. Only catch is its very close to Abhisit's house (ex PM). News report about several hand grenades thrown there recently. This intersection of Soi 31 had a big police presence during the red shirt demos in the past though.
Asoke Residence Soi 19 going very cheap too.
I mention some further out places now for those who want to be well away from the protest areas.
@Mind on Soi 85 (Just past On Nut) is very good standard room with kitchenette at 1400 Baht and many young Japanese are staying there and some Farangs.
Convenient Park has oldish but good sized rooms for 900 Baht (as normal) but its at Soi 64 (almost right at BTS Punnawithi). Many Thais and Indians stay there. Most other very low priced places are inconveniently located (even more so).
Well, I booked at Royal Ivory on Soi 4. I am hoping it is not very bad, because hot water and clean sheets are good things. It has mixed reviews, but mostly good. However the room has free cancelation, so if I find something I do not like while continuing my research I can cancel. I did email them asking about a joiner fee. Only $34 USD, which is good, but I don't mind to pay more for a better place.

Of course guest friendly and WiFi are a must, and towels. I'd like it under $40 USD a night. Anyone?I have stayed several times at Royal Ivory on soi 4 (soi nana) with Superior king at $41 Deluxe king at $45 (bigger room with mini-kitchen.) Sometimes they include breakfast for 2 for $1 more. Its GF and about 10 min walk to BTS and to Nana center and sukhumvit Road. They also have a free tuktuk to take you to the BTS station or suk Road.
Wifi is also included. (I stayed there in May '13.) Friendly service there, too.
Very cool, thank you for helping me feel comfortable with my choice. I wrote them saying "Hello, I would like to stay at your hotel, but I may want to bring a guest to my room. What is your policy concerning guests and do you have a joiner fee?". Their reply "We would like to inform you that we do not charge girl friendly / guest.
Friendly joiner fees, no joiner fees just for security purposes we require them to leave their ID card before going up to the room.". Some reviews say things like the safe and hot water don't work, but I'll take my chances and hope for the best.
@Mind on Soi 85 (Just past On Nut) is very good standard room with kitchenette at 1400 Baht and many young Japanese are staying there and some Farangs.I stayed there last September during the day until I left in the evening for the airport. Well I have no idea what "good standard room" means to you, but it might be ok or adequat for a 2 star or 3 star hotel but that's it.
The room was extremely small. Way less than 20 m˛. Within 3 steps you've walked through all the room. Bed was ok, mattress maybe a little bit too firm, but still reasonable. Yes, there's some kind of kitchenette with a microwave, a small table with 2 chairs and a huge refrigerator, if this is important. Unfortunately the walls are thin and and you can hear everything that happens on the floor. For me it didn' matter because I didn't sleep there, but I'd expect it to be very noisy during the night.
Can't say anything about the breakfast. Staff was kind and friendly, but nothing special. And it's gf (BB from Cherry Massage joined me there for an outcall).
For 1. 150 THB that I paid it was ok, but wouldn't consider it for an overnight stay. Though I usually stay in 5 star hotels in Bangkok my review might probably not be representive for most of other mongers here.

Makes little sense. My room was bigger than 20 m sq. It is not the quietest Hotel. B / f adequate but nothing that special. It's very popular with young Japanese people.
Why bother to review a 3 star budget hotel when you normally do 5 star?Makes any sense in the world. Why pay for a 5 star hotel if I just need to stay there a couple of hours? And as I said before it was adequate.

Just wondering if anyone has recent info on Majestic Suites as I am thinking of booking there in April?
I haven't stayed there since 2010, have the rooms been updated? If not are they old and tired and worth the money or would somewhere like Phachara be a better option although it is a bit more expensive?
How is the in room wifi?
Thanks in advance for any heads up.Hi Gnorman,
Had a friend staying there 2 weeks ago, yes it is need of refurbishment and the walls are paper thin! Heard a number of people clapping after a guy finally got his rocks off while we trying to make a few phone calls.
Is still a very good location though and runs quite smoothly.
The sister hotel The Grande on soi 2 is short of custom, they are willing to barter prices at the moment.
I stay at the Silq on soi 19, got a very cheap price of 1500 baht all up for 2 weeks next month. That was via the website which quoted 1500 ++.
Called them after I booked and begged for 1500 flat. Certainly sir, as you wish. .
It is a buyers market at this time of the year.

Some reviews say things like the safe and hot water don't work, but I'll take my chances and hope for the best.I have stayed there 4 or 5 times in past 5 years. No problems with hot water. The safes always worked. Getting the code done the first time did not seem to be logical to me, but the bellman was glad to show me exactly how it worked. The Deluxe room is more luxurious (in what I think is traditional Thai decor) as well as larger than the Superior room. Breakfast is good with Thai and western dishes including a made to order omelette. Breakfast is all you can eat, so if you like it, you may not need another meal til dinner. (Thai food is so good in Bangkok, I usually was tempted to try new things all day though.) It's not the Hyatt, but for $40 it's quite nice. Yes, they do take a visiting girl's identification when she arrives (as protection for the guest) and they return it after you tell them all is well when she leaves. Depending on the weather, the rooftop pool can be a refreshing place to unwind after a long day. No services at the pool, just fresh towels, and I usually take a couple bottled cocktails when I go to the pool.

TuckI have been happy with Silq in the past, but never got it that cheap. Because Soi 19 is right near the protest they may have had to drop their rate. Expect it to be definitely a cut above Majestic Suites.
One quirk is some of the staff don't speak Thai as come from Myanmar. Hopefully have okay English though. Breakfast area is very small.

TuckThanks very much for your response Tuck, very much appreciated.
I am obviously after location but also after a nice hotel, it is my holiday after all LOL.
I will probably go with Majestic Grande or your recommendation of Silq on Soi 19.
I don't mind spending 3k-4k per night but I don't think I need to in this current political climate. Although my trip isn't until early April I like to get something booked early.
Any other recommendation for a good value luxury hotel under the 3k-4k range would be appreciated, girl friendly naturally.

Hey!
Going to BKK soon again and want to stay close to nana.
With my budget I have choosed to stay at JW marriott Sukumvit or Sofitel Sukomvit.
What one whould be your option if you could stay for free?
I am only here for the girls.
Checked in yesterday. Nice hotel and a perfect location! Right around the corner from NEP and Nana BTS. Got a deal and am in one of the executive suites. Basically a studio apartment. I'm here for two weeks so it worked out nicely.
I can confirm it's girl-friendly too. Brought a friend back last night and had no issues. I did book the reservation for two adults so I'm sure that helped.

Right now I think there are real bargains for Grand Mecure Asoke Residence in Soi 19 (in addition to Silq etc.). It seems currently to be a safe distance from the Asoke gathering. Free upgrade to Junior suite (more than 3 nights) incl B / F 1560 on Wotif. That is 85 Sq. M including kitchen. That is an unbeatable deal. Other than location, it kills the Majestic Grande right now. I might even move there myself. Don't get me wrong. I do like Majestic Grande okay.
I don't see any problem with getting to and from Nana from Soi 19 right now. Suk traffic is very low . Majestic Grande is good if you really have to be right at Annies. LOL The Annies girls sitting outside will see you every time you come and go.
Boy, I just do not see the WOTIF deal at 1560 bt. I see a 2852 bt but no upgrade. Looked at the mystery deals and do not see any that are similar. I might need glasses I guess.

I would be interested to know what motivates guys to book so far in advance. I never have as don't know how to predict the future.I do my yearly bookings in November. December as my traveling is pretty much well scheduled and repeated. I can't elaborate why. But it doesn't mean I pay in advance.
As I do extensive traveling (over 120 days a year) and I need to book as much as I can once the trips are finalized so I can file that away and not get I to the situation of forgetting some booking or not finding some room when I need them.
Maybe you can't predict the future, Maybe I can.

I am only here for the girls.I haven't yet stayed at the JW Marriott but was happy with the Sofitel. Even when focussing on the girls you will need your proteins for breakfast and I can assure that the breakfast buffet at Sofitel is very good. I've stayed before at Four Seasons, Grand Millennium, Several Grande Centre Points, The Landmark, Tower Club at Lebua. Monger wise I would say that Sofitel and Grand Millenium were the best options so far. JW Marriott has always been on my list but got only mixed reviews on this forum.

In my case I have not stayed there, preferring to spend money on girls instead, but even girls rave about it.ISG is a good place to get recommendations on good value GF hotels. Beyond that, I pay closer attention to travel website reviews. On these the JWM gets very good to excellent ratings. Occasionally a reviewer will lament that the rooms are getting old. A few reviewers have higher expectations based on stays at JWMs in other cities, after all it is the flagship of the Marriott fleet of hotel brands. I'd say it and the Sheraton Grand Sukhumvit (SGS), a Trip Advisor top 10, whose rooms I understand are being refurbished, are the best combinations of luxury and location on lower Sukhumvit. The JWM will save you about US$40 per night compared to the SGS. The Sofitel is brand new but gets about the same over all ratings on TA as the JWM. It's sort of in between everything; pretty convenient to everything but not extremely convenient to anything.
Given all this recent feedback for the JW Marriot, I thought I might ask if anyone had an opinion on the Conrad? Their locations are very similar, but I was leaning toward the Conrad due to the wi-fi service, which I believe is free at the Conrad, but costs extra at the JW Marriot.
I've only stayed at the Grand Millenium, which I was quite happy with because of their comfy king bed. However, given the protest location at Asoke, I was thinking of staying closer to Nana Plaza to be safe.
Is there anyone who has any recent information on what is happening at the Grand President on Soi 11? I did notice a slight decline in the level of service last year, but with new owners and higher prices on the website, I wonder if there has been a drastic downturn in the overall level of service.
I did notice a significant increase in Indian or Pakistani guests last year, but that could be just that time I was there, only. I did tip the staff there, and the maids were surprised it seems, like the other guests weren't inclined to tip much for some reason.
One of the primary reasons I like it there is the large Junior Suite. I don't feel cramped when I have that room. If I were in a regular room, I think I would be a little claustrophobic after a few days. Another benefit is the Japanese restaurant in Tower 2, it is very good and I eat there often.
I'm sure that Puttex is aware of travel websites reviews such as Tripadvisor where JW Marriot and sofitel Sukhumvit are almost on par. Sorry if "only mixed reviews" sounded too harsh. No doubt that JW Marriott must be an excellent choice quality wise but if I remember correctly some users on this forum stated that it was overpriced.
BTW sometimes the reviews on websites like Tripadvisor and Agoda make me laugh out loud. So much exeggerations and nitpickers there and most people seem to be very happy that their hotel is "not in a red light light disitrict" LOL.

The customer did not like the way the cheap Hotel staff were dressed. LOL. Did not not like that the staff were not so plentiful. I have heard many customers making unreasonable requests and demands. Like want to check out midnight for free. I forget all the other bullshit but I have heard plenty directly and read rubbish in the reviews too for places that were just fine for me.

Have crashed here a couple of nights and I find this a good choice located next to the Bang Chak BTS station (entrance 5). Nice place to bring a spinner if you want to quite down a bit away from the lower Suk for a while. Just 2 stops from Thong Lo (bts).
Have stayed in a 90sqm serviced 1 bdr apartment on the top floor (12fl) and it is modern, clean and nice. The hotel is maby 1 year or so (I have been told). Nice swimmingpool and fitnessroom (located away from the bustling Sukhumvit) so can act as some sort of oasis and piecful heaven while your spinner is at work (mine is). The rooms are nicely decorated, big king size bed and walk in closet where you actually can walk inside, one big bathroom (bathtub, shitter and seperate shower) , one small toilet for stomachissues (if you not live by yourself). Surrounding walkable balcony around the apartment. 2 flatscreens and aircons enough so you can keep a nice chilled temp.
It runs around 5000bht per night breakfast included. I stay a couple of more nights as I use this as some sort of unwinding place before heading home in a few days. My recomandations is hereby given.

Conrad is not far, but cross the large road and some walk. You might need a taxi if you take a girl back.
Nothing wrong with it. Of course, but some people prefer a direct access.

The JW is a great hotel and it's location puts you right in the heart of the lower Sukhumvit action. My only critique is that bang for your buck, I can do better. I do not require an opulent lobby and prefer the luxury of space (Square meters) over grandeur. For roughly the same cash I can stay at 1 bedroom suite at T21. For 25 % to 30% less I can stay in 1 bedroom suites in many different quality hotels including Marriott Sukhumvit Park Executive Apartments, Marriott Thonglor Executive Apartments, the Fraser, and Admiral Premiere. Take your pick.

Their locations are very similar, but I was leaning toward the Conrad due to the wi-fi service, which I believe is free at the Conrad, but costs extra at the JW Marriot.Conrad is not really a great location if you intend to play at Nana. A great hotel but not exactly a monger's ideal Hotel. It may be only 1 km walk from Conrad to Nana, but its far more difficult by taxi. Ask Google Maps for routes. This may cause some girls working in Nana to not wish to go to Conrad Hotel due to annoying route needed for the return to Nana by taxi.
JWM is good location but pricey as others mentioned. I personally would not stay at either (I would use the money on girls instead).
., I thought I might ask if anyone had an opinion on the Conrad? .I stayed at Conrad a couple of times. It's a good business hotel, well sized rooms, firm mattress, good breakfast, HHonors elite members are fairly treated with upgrades, the hotel is very gf and I never had a girl that complained about the location of the hotel. They run a shuttle every 15 or 20 minutes to Ploenchit Station so it's easy to get around from there. Should take about 60 THB for a taxi from NEP to Conrad.
Anyway if you want to stay at a Hilton hotel in Bangkok I'd take the new Hilton Sukhumvit and the DoubleTree any day. Both are new hotels and IMHO better values and better location, albeit PR13CB works with Conrad but not with Hilton Sukhumvit or DoubleTree

JWM is good location but pricey as others mentioned. I personally would not stay at either (I would use the money on girls instead).Getting from Nana to Conrad by taxi is straight forward. The reverse is a little less straight forward due to intersection where right hand turn is not possible and one way traffic places. Taxi normally has to go up to Petchburi road and come back on Soi 3 of Sukhumvit. It is fortunately not experiencing heavy traffic now due to the protest blockages limiting all Sukhumvit lower Soi traffic. So I guess Conrad location is not much problem right now. Or just get motorcycle up to Sukhumvit and walk the short distance from there where the taxi cannot go.
Hotels very close to the Asoke / Sukhumvit blockage should be having good prices right now, and due to low occupancy, free upgrade to Junior suite etc. Could be readily available.
Main access to Sukhumvit lower Sois is from Phetchburi road down Suk Soi 3, or coming of the freeway at Soi 1. Access to Asoke from Petchburi road is possible in the upper areas close to Petchburi road. It is still possible to get from Asoke in this area to Soi 19. I just did it on a motorbike but taxis doing it too. I think motorbike can also get to Soi 23 from Soi Asoke in the non-closed region via Asoke alley.

But then what about room service?All Marriott Exec Apartment Hotels, the Fraser, and Grande Centre Point T21 operate as regular hotels. Room service is available 24 hours / day. Admiral Premiere operates as a normal hotel too albeit a small one. I am not sure about 24 hour room service at the AP because I never asked for it, but I kind of doubt it. AP has a small restaurant which serves a complimentary breakfast to guests and stays open to maybe 7 or 8 pm.
Once you try a 1 bedroom suite in BKK at a 4*/5* hotel, it is hard to go back to just a room no mater how well appointed a 5* room. A separate living room is a great social plus. So is having a kitchen with a refrigerator/freezer, a table and chairs to eat on, and a full set of plates and silverware. The Admiral Suites even through in a washing machine. Wait, so does T21.
Taxi normally has to go up to Petchburi road and come back on Soi 3 of Sukhumvit. It is fortunately not experiencing heavy traffic now due to the protest blockages limiting all Sukhumvit lower Soi traffic.So, they don't have to. From Ploenchit Road coming just turn left into Sukhumvit Soi 1 and pass through Burumgrad Hospital to Soi 3. Easy and most taxi drivers know this shortcut
So, they don't have to. From Ploenchit Road coming just turn left into Sukhumvit Soi 1 and pass through Burumgrad Hospital to Soi 3. Easy and most taxi drivers know this shortcutokay That is good but taxi cannot turn right from RuamRudee or Withayu into Ploenchit, am I right? Is it possible to turn left and U-turn back somewhere?

With Agoda, you need to multiply by 1. 17 to get the price with taxes.Mismatch?
Grand Mercure Asoke Residence is in Soi 19 and Asoke Residence Sukhumvit is in Soi 21
okay That is good but taxi cannot turn right from RuamRudee or Withayu into Ploenchit, am I right?From RuamRudee you can't but from Witthayu you can turn right
I checked websites to see if there are any deals to sweeten the risk of staying in the area near Soi Cowboy.
But could not find any discount at all on Admiral Premier or Citadines 23 prices. I can't beleive it is business as usual for these two with a major protest going on a few hundred feet away.
If anyone sees a deal for any hotel in this area please do post the info here.
Thanks

The JW is a great hotel and it's location puts you right in the heart of the lower Sukhumvit action. My only critique is that bang for your buck, I can do better. I do not require an opulent lobby and prefer the luxury of space (Square meters) over grandeur. For roughly the same cash I can stay at 1 bedroom suite at T21. For 25 % to 30% less I can stay in 1 bedroom suites in many different quality hotels including Marriott Sukhumvit Park Executive Apartments, Marriott Thonglor Executive Apartments, the Fraser, and Admiral Premiere. Take your pick.I stayed at JW last two trips. I would agree its a bit pricey, but the service is terrific from check-in to check-out. The pool area is very nice and the men's locker area is terrific with hot and cool pools, sauna, and steam room. Nightly turn down service with fresh ice and fruit everyday. I also like how they only allow two taxi companies to pick up and tag the cars with note of the taxi nmbr in case you have any problems. Anyway, sure the other places are nice as well and a better deal, but I can confidently recommend the JW.
The food was always great too, but again not cheap. The bakery on first floor is terrific and has decent pricing. Also first time I stayed went to dinner with a buddy to the steak place and was one of the best steaks I have had anywhere. Luckily my buddy was an expat there and had a card that gave us a serious discount on the bill.

ThanksHa Ha. I bet Grand Millenium has a good price and probably the Westin has had to drop its prices. I haven't actually checked.
I first stayed in Admiral premier years ago when it was a somewhat unknown Hotel. It had very good prices back then. Unfortunately this is no longer the case. This hotel has become very popular. Its a good location in a way. Close to Cowboy but not too damn close. Its still a bit removed from the demonstration and not too close to Abhisit's house. Many Japanese guys are living there permanently. Tour bus loads like to stay there these days. They are just too well utilised an popular to drop their prices. I used to love to turn up there at night with 3 girls from Suzie Wong on my arm. LOL Now they have the gall to charge higher prices despite their pokey little bathrooms. LOL Good kitchette though. I always thought Citadines 23 was a bit over-priced too and did not like various aspects including the hard beds and staff, but I recall was one of Wolven-fucked (LOL. Sorry just can't remember the exact spelling) favorites.
I am staying in a massive suite (free upgrade) in upper section of Asoke a bit away form the protest area for approx. 1600 Baht per night (Agoda) including all the taxes, B / F, wifi, kitchen, bathroom, lounge, dining area etc. Its not very full here. I still have access to Soi 23 or Soi 19 from here, usually taking a very quick motorbike ride. I am walking distance from the MRT and La Belle Soapy. I am also a quick motor bike ride from Amsterdam soapy. From here very easy to get to Nana or Soi Eden by going along Petchburi and down Soi 3. I have easy getaway to go to the airport. So I am happy with this spot even though its a bit unusual. Tesco Lotus Express nearby. I use motorbike taxi for short trips as it saves a lot of time wastage walking. I walk when plenty of time available as weather is nice.
Here is called Asoke Residence, not "Grand Mercure Asoke Residence".
Breakfast is a bit lacking in variety but coffee is quite drinkable. Admiral Premier breakfast is better. Grand Millenium is vastly better. However here I can cook my own Oats, make my own filtered coffe, stir fry my healthy vegies, meat & fish etc. in the kitchen. Not everyone needs this, but I am moving away from packaged foods, sugar, seed oil (oxidising oils) prepared foods, etc. Hope to have excellent health in my old age, specially wishing to avoid Alzheimer's, Cancers, clogged arteries etc., not mention many kilos lost. Hamburgers are not the "real" junk food. Still like a good burger at @Corner on Soi 23 end of cowboy, but I don't order anything deep-fried anymore as don't know what oils they use.
My drink options in a bar are very limited. Plain water is the very best for your health.
Ha Ha. I bet Grand Millenium has a good price and probably the Westin has had to drop its prices. I haven't actually checked.
SNIPPED.

Grand Millenium is vastly better.Grand Millennium has a web deal for 2900++ includes Internet. I have called and a friend checked at the hotel and that is the best offered. I have had my Sakaeo lady call around to some of the Sukhumvit hotels (such as Sofitel and S15). No one is dealing. Centara Central World and Lad Praoe have good deals.
I am dropping into BKK for a week from Red territory and will be in the GM. Aside from popping for a one night in a suite in Sofitel. The anesthesia nurse will be in heaven.

Researching the best deals wastes a lot of time unfortunately. The GM deal is good. Access from Soi 23. The Soi is a bit jammed up, but usable.
Here is even better price for such a large suite. Don't like the Centara location (nor Lat Phrao. Awful). Its too busy traffic jammed normally, or blocked around there. Ratchprasong intersection.
Agoda just sent me to say its "Half-price Friday". I guess its too good to be true, and they just mean many places 50% off normal price, which would be far too high anyway. We all probably regularly get 50% off officially and maybe more. Original price means nothing.
Mismatch?
Grand Mercure Asoke Residence is in Soi 19 and Asoke Residence Sukhumvit is in Soi 21Yep I goofed in a hurry. In the end decided to take Asoke residence Soi 21 anyway. Deal was too good.

I just went through the "Half-Price Friday" promo and it is kind of like you indicated. Half Price off rack rates. I've been wanting to try S15 but its Half Price promo is the same as their website prices. Not a budge down. Same with Sofitel.

My trip to Suwanaphuum airport this evening was a breeze. Got there in record time without paying any expressway tolls. Of course was a Sunday and departing from Asoke Petchburi intersection, was very easy to get to Rama 9. Election today had no effect on evening traffic. Very quiet. Upper Asoke has been an excellent location for quick access to everything, whether Nana, Eden, Cowboy, Ratchada soapies, MRT or BTS. When lazy to walk any distance take a short motorcycle ride from right outside the Hotel. It is 10 to 15 mins walk from Sukhumvit but < 5 mins on motorcycle even to Nana. I would have been just a few hundred metres north of the Asoke mob boundary at Asoke Residence. Very cheap for very large rooms (after free upgrades).
My issues with the Asoke Residence Hotel (if being really picky) :
* Breakfast a bit basic. Could get Omelette and sausage though. I could easily manage with my own breakfast if wanted to save an extra 100 Baht or so.
* Shower water was either too hot or not warm enough with in between not possible with the single lever. Wash basin was willing to do in between so a bit of a mystery. Probably relates to Hot water auto shut off if flow drops.
* Kitchenette lacked larger sized bowls or any butter knives. Its really normal that kitchen is under stocked after guest thieving or breakage.
Was a giant suite however for basic price of a studio. My first though was that the location was not good, but after trying it, I really have changed my mind about that. Its has helped that Asoke traffic has been so low of course.
. Very cheap for very large rooms (after free upgrades)I frequently read reports that mention free upgrades. From the agoda website the hotel seems to have 2 different rooms, a 35 sq m room and a 85 sq m room. Did you get a free upgrade from the 35 sq m room to the 85 sq m room? Or is there some other 'class' room that's 35 sq m's but considered an upgrade?

How is the Majestic Grand behind the JW. I don't mind spending more for comfort, but only going to be there two night, actually hardly two nights as I arrive so late. The location seems good and less than half the cost of other nearby hotels. With decent ratings since the remodel on travel sites.
Was just at the Pinnacle at Soi 3/1.
1000 for the normal room. All was fine in a prime walking location. If you stay longer get the Pinnacle room for 1200 at a higher floor.

Fully GF (even if you bring two). Security in the lobby will get her I'd for your safety and return it to her when she leaves after a call to your room.
So close to the action and cheaper than nearby JW.
hi guys,
having taken a time-out over the election period, i'll be back in bkk in about a week's time.
i'm considering:
1. citadines23
2. furamaxclusive asoke.
3. asoke residence 21 hotel (having read syzygies' report) (distance from suk?)
could someone please comment on the relative merits, given approx. same price and same / resp. adequate room size?
does anyone know about citadines' "complimentary basic wi-fi internet access is included. (high-speed internet service is available at an additional charge)"?
apparently, the "complimentary basic wi-fi internet" is only 512kb / s, which is rather slow. the optional 1mb / s or 2mb / s cost 200 resp. 300 thb / day.
thanks for your input.

Why should Hotel not welcome Indian guest?Because some of our country men do not have any etiquette it then gives a bad name to the rest of us.
Seen Indians take empty bottles for breakfast and fill them with juices make sandwiches and pack them so as to save on lunch.
Some do not even dress properly while entering the pool so in many places I have noticed that Indians are not welcome
No doubt that today Indian is a very high spender he is always treated badly during my previous visit to Patayya my friends spent much more on dinner / lunch and booze bills then most of the so called veterans.
So coming to the point any reviews on Royal Nana at soi 4.

dscitadines is my favourite. nice rooms with a little kitchen (i like to make my own breakfast and have dinner in my room). the free internet connection is good enough for email and basic surfing. i don't come to thailand to do much surfing on the internet. on the top floor there is a small pool and a nice gym.
don't take the breakfast option in citadines: expensive and not really worth it.
and of course it is totally guest-friendly. most of the time they don't ask for your girl's i'd. of all the times i brought girls there it may have happened once or twice.
Daddy,
Asok Residence is 3 mins walk to Petchburi MRT. It's maybe 15 mins walk to Suk. Simply you take a motorbike or taxi if in a hurry to get to Suk. I took motorcycle by habit. It's less than 5 mins by motorbike. Nana and Eden are only 5 mins plus by motorbike also taking route Petchburi road and suk Soi 3. Traffic has been low recently in suk Soi 3 and in Soi 21 Asoke.
Personally I liked it much more than Citadines even though breakfast not that special. Beds not so hard. Much more space. Furama xclusive Asoke is in the protestor zone. Also pokey rooms.
Thanks guys, there is nothing, like a pair of eyes on site.
What would be a good place to have breakfast?

Thanks guys, there is nothing, like a pair of eyes on site.
What would be a good place to have breakfast?Every morning at the exits of the MRT Asoke there are lots of street food vendors. When I stay at Citadines 23, I walk there and buy sausages, eggs, rice, vegetables and then go back to the room to eat my breakfast. Or when I had an LT the night before we both go to the vendors and eat it in the street. What could be better than having a Thai breakfast with a cute spinner you just fucked?

What could be better than having a Thai breakfast with a cute spinner you just fucked?Having breakfast with two Thai spinners with whom you had a threesome?:)
I am staying here today. To any new arrivals there is the Asoke Residence Mercure about 4 blocks away so confusing for taxi drivers and the Asoke Res Suk is down a 50 meter alleyway off Asoke so difficult to find. My taxi took 1. 5 hrs from the northern bus terminal, why he tried to go from the south to the north on Asoke to Suk [where the blockade is] I have no idea, we were there for 45 minutes at the blockade before he could turn around and then I got out at the wrong Asoke hotel. Great deals on hotels. Com, I am in a huge suite 900 sq ft with be. F. $47. Also confusing for newbies, writer in previous post calls MRT Phetchaburi "MRT Asoke" it is one and the same MRT [it is at the crossroads of those 2 street names] officially it is MRT Phetchaburi when you are in the station.

One almost needs a flashlight to walk from Admiral to Soi Cowboy. And I believe Wind 23 (Condo) next door isn't being helped by that either, lot of units available there still. As for Pegasus (hybrid G Club / barfine Club) I never seen anyone going in. Entire area looks slow these days.

Some reviews of this hotel, Royal Ivory nana Soi 4.
A bunch of my friends planning to stay there.
How is the service and how is the food.
Is it girl friendly?From my previous posts:
I have stayed there 4 or 5 times in past 5 years. No problems with hot water. The safes always worked. Getting the code done the first time did not seem to be logical to me, but the bellman was glad to show me exactly how it worked. The Deluxe room is more luxurious (in what I think is traditional Thai decor) as well as larger than the Superior room. Breakfast is good with Thai and western dishes including a made to order omelette. Breakfast is all you can eat, so if you like it, you may not need another meal til dinner. (Thai food is so good in Bangkok, I usually was tempted to try new things all day though.) It's not the Hyatt, but for $40ish it's quite nice. Yes, they do take a visiting girl's identification when she arrives (as protection for the guest) and they return it after you tell them all is well when she leaves. Depending on the weather, the rooftop pool can be a refreshing place to unwind after a long day. No services at the pool, just fresh towels, and I usually take a couple bottled cocktails when I go to the pool.
I have been staying at several hotels in the area between Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza and I have found nothing comparable to the 45 sqm suites for 1800 bath a night.
Does anyone have a better suggestion?
The current 5 star mystery deals at Wotif seem to be the following:

Actually they charge 1877 bath a night right now, but you might find cheaper deals on this hotel with other hotel booking companies. The price goes up and down depending on availability, though.

Has anyone had experiences with 2 or more ladies as guests in a suite?I have stayed at the Windsor Suites many times, but the last time was in 2010. I have never had a problem bringing girls back but I always made reservation for 2 people.
There is or was back in 2010 a nightclub / disco in the hotel and I remember one time when it closed and I was bringing one of the girls back to my room a guy was there with a sheet checking how many people were suppose to be in the room.
As long as you reserve for 2 I don't think there will be a problem.
I remember the breakfast being outstanding so I didn't eat until the eveing. One block over on Soi 22 there is some beer bars that I have picked up women before. I like the neighborhood.
Also confusing for newbies, writer in previous post calls MRT Phetchaburi "MRT Asoke" it is one and the same MRT [it is at the crossroads of those 2 street names] officially it is MRT Phetchaburi when you are in the station.You are technically correct. There is no "Asoke" MRT station. However Wolven would have been referring to MRT Sukhumvit which is next to BTS "Asoke".
When coming by taxi from afar, you really need to have located the Hotel on Google maps and tell the driver how to get there. Asoke Residence is in a tricky location off Soi 21, but if you use GPS on your cellphone, its no problem. Sirat (pronounced See-rut) expressway takes you directly from Morchit, just past Asoke and then a U-turn back to exit into Asoke from the north. Google estimates 15 mins in current traffic. Allow the taxi to go on a wild goose chase and you ended up with 1. 5 hours.
Grande Mercure Asoke Residence being in Soi 19, adds to the confusion greatly. Many people have been to the wrong one first up.
I have been told by various hotels in BKK and Pattaya that they allow only one lady guest at a time.
That's so 1980s.

Is this hotel GF friendly or shall I consider another one?
Which one would be best?A quick search using google indicates that this hotel is not girl friendly. If you want GF hotel and near to the action, you should perhaps consider a hotel along Sukhumvit. Which one depends on your budget.
Compass hospitality having 3 days sales now, the rate look like very good on hotel website.
And no penalty charge if canceled 1 day before arrival.
Will be in BKK end of March, will stay at Adelphi Suite Soi 8.

It seems that a lot of people keep asking for the same info. Here's a list courtesy of BKK Tonite.I'm sure you know this is no means a complete list. For example, I know the Hotel Muse, a 5-star boutique hotel on Langsuan that I highly recommend if you don't mind being a couple of BTS stops away from Nana is very GF. In general, if the hotel is remotely close to the mongering neighborhoods there is a reasonable chance it is GF; and it's simple to make sure. Send them an email and ask about there policy towards female guests; and be sure to book double occupancy. It costs no more than single occupancy.
The Admiral Suites even throws in a washing machine. Wait, so does T21.The Shama Suites on Soi 2 next to the J. W. Marriott also has washing machines in its suites. They are noisier than the washers at the Admiral Premier, and even the "quick wash" cycle takes quite awhile. Another problem is that you can't put a load of laundry in and then leave the room. That's because once you leave the room the electricity shuts off. Still, it beats paying outrageous hotel laundry charges, or wandering the streets in search of a less-expensive laundry.
Shifting Gears: The water pressure and temperature at the Shama Suites are superb. If you hate wimpy Thai showers with lukewarm water trickling out of of the spigot, you'll love the high-pressure, high-temperature showers at the Shama Suites.

The Shama Suites on Soi 2 next to the J. W. Marriott also has washing machines in its suites.The website and TripAdvisor reviews make it sound like it is a "family friendly" place. Are there lots of obnoxious little kids running around screaming? I'd hate to subject the hookers I bring to my room to that sort of behavior by the pint sized guests. ;)

I am emailing around to several Hotels / Serviced Apartment for an acceptable rate for around 50 nights – including one or two breaks in between – starting beginning of March (till mid May).
Surprisingly the ask more or less to same prices as before.
I read several days a week the Bangkok Post and saw some post saying that tourists are avoiding to come to Bangkok. This is not reflecting in the prices they ask nowadays.
If someone can help me:
I am looking for the Sukhumvite / Asok / Thong Lor area.
Looking for a junior type of suite or similar (above 50 sqm)
A kitchenette is welcome.
A washing machine in the room is a must.
Of course gym and swimming pool.
My target price for 50 nights is THB 2. 000 (I paid in November. December THB 2200).

The Royal President on Soi 15 should also have washing machines in selected suites.

The protesters have closed Sukhumvit right after the Westin. Soi 19 is open for traffic, so no problem.

I noticed the same thing on the hotel's web site, especially the charming photograph of the family watching dad grill some burgers on one of the terraces. (A staged photo, by the way. You can see the terrace where they shot it from the swimming pool deck one level above. There is no barbeque grill in evidence.)
Anyway, Mr. Kausch need not worry about any crumb-snatchers ruining his adult fun. I did see a few families during my five-day Shama Suites sojourn in January, but the parents had the curtain-climbers well under control. Usually I'd see them heading out for a day of sightseeing early in the morning, and returning in the late afternoon. By the time the sun went down, the rug rats were gone from the public areas of the hotel.
I pulled a few girls from Nana Plaza go-go clubs and brought them back to the Shama Suites without incident. There is a driveway that connects Soi 4 to the rear of the hotel, and a handy entrance on that side of the building so you don't have to walk around to the main entrance. It's a very short walk. So short, in fact, that even the normally-fussy go-go girls don't complain about walking. Usually I got a snappy salute from the security guard and a pleasant khap! as I passed. Inside the hotel requires the girls to leave her identification card at the desk, but the formalities take only a few seconds. The staff did not call me after the girls left my room, although I'm sure I could have requested that service.

The protesters have closed Sukhumvit right after the Westin. Soi 19 is open for traffic, so no problem. While things on the surface are nominally business as usual with tourists essentially not impacted, the situation is escalating and appears to be growing increasingly unstable, so you do not want to be based anywhere near protest areas. The only purpose to be remotely near any protest areas is on an incidental basis, for example lets say you need access to Terminal 21 Mall or need to go to Soi Cowboy, but then you should make sure to only enter Terminal 21 only from the west side, and Soi Cowboy from the east entrance
Usually I check several booking corps and also the hotel's website to see if price varies. Yesterday day and today I see a Bangkok hotel that has Booking. Com double the agoda price and the hotel website price.

Grand Mercure Asoke Residence in Soi 19 (note: not Asoke Residence in Soi 21).
They have two type of apartments: 70 sqm and 90 sqm.
My booking is for the 70 sqm but I always get (as returning customer and Accor Platinum) a free upgrade to the 90 sqm.
They have around 80 rooms in the building, most guest there are working expact types, mainly Japanese.
Pool, gym, sauna and steam room on the 12th (highest) floor.
Their offer is based on 30 days + stay; recalculated its nearly 2. 300 THB per day / including taxes (and no pre-paid needed).
And, obvious, totally gf

Spent 1 week in Bangkok at the Admiral Premier last month, but could not access the forum since their proxy is blocking everything with the word "sex". LOL.
Anyway, it is a rather pleasant and well kept hotel, with a serviceable team which is the norm in Thailand.
Pool is on rooftop, whichis always nice, and they have all the standard stuff: restaurant (open till 10.30 PM) , gym, laundry etc.
Of course it was right at the Asoke / Sukhumvit intersection which was a protest site at the time, but I did not feel threatened in any way.
Distance walking:
- Soi Cowboy: 2 mins.
- G-Club Pegasus: 1 min (didn't go)
- Soi 33 / Soi 24: 10 mins.
- BTS Sukhumvit or MRT Asoke, Terminal 21 mall: 5 mins.
I do not know if it is GFriendly or not, but I think at some point 1 guy ordered room service (yeah, that kind of room service) , the 2 girls were waiting in the lobby and it seemed fine.
The "regular" massage shop which is located to the left of the hotel (near Glow club. Another place that might be of interest) will also offer services depending on your masseuse.

It's easy to get a top up SIM card at airport with a suitable data component. Then in a smart phone can use personal hotspot feature to get 3G Internet to your notebook com faster than many hotels provide. ISG not blocked that way.
Any idea when they started blocking ISG or word with sex in it. I was there last Sept and it was working fine. Maybe someone can verify it isn't working now

Maybe someone can verify it isn't working nowUsing a VPN connection would solve that problem. I use SurfEasy a jump drive based VPN connection / secure browser. Once inserted in a computer it establishes a secure connection to its nearest proxy server (Singapore, USA, etc.). Your ISP can see activity on the connection but cannot see what it is, therefore no ability to censor. An additional feature is it leaves no trace of your activity on the computer. Relatively cheap solution considering the additional security.
Insert into computer:
Enter password.
Browser launches on VPN connection.
Go where you want.

I am flying into BKK, Suvarnabhumi Airport, and need to a Hotel to stay about 12 hours to line up with a connecting flight. I am flying with family members so there be no chance to do anything but sleep. I just need to get some sleep for my next days connection. I know the Airport has the Novotel at the airport but the cost is around $125 per night. If anyone can recommend a Hotel that is near the airport, that has a shuttle that runs late at night and that's about 2 1/2 to 3 stars it would be appreciated. I just need something that's clean and convenient and hopefully can understand basic English.

Going to town means 30/40' trip and same to BKK, depending of course on time of day / night.
That means you will have to add some 6/800 baht for taxi to your costs, unless you travel by train+ BTS and walk to your hotel.

Hi,
Look up the Thongta Resort and Spa web site. They are just 15 minutes from the airport, has a regular shuttle and is priced at around $40. 00 when I last used them for an early morning connection to KK. Rooms are very decent with all amenities and staff is friendly and speaks english. Good place for the family with nothing much sleazy in the surrounding Latkrabang area. Drop a post how the stay was so others can tag the hotel for the future short stays.

I just made a similar stop thru BKK and I agree with Bionicman. Find a reasonable hotel NOT near the airport and don't worry about the travel time. The hassle of the shuttle timeschedule (few have an "on-demand" schedule) or getting a taxi at odd hours is just not worth it. Remember that "near the airport" is still likely to be a 15-20 minute ride on a bus or in a taxi.
I checked the Mystery Hotels on Latestays dot come and found a US$45 room at the hotel on soi 33 that used to be the Novotel Lotus. I had a nice room and easy back-and-forth to the airport, for about what the "acceptable" range hotels near Suvarnabhumi are billing. Good travels! TTG

Well priced with frequent shuttles to the airport, including 24 hour snacks like juice and cookies, as well as breakfast, wifi. 7 eleven next door and a restaurant serving until 2:00 am. Worked out really well.

Today's Bangkok Post has an article about REITs, that are expected to pour significant money into new hotel development in Bangkok. Most of the money is expected to finance smaller hotels - 200 million to one billion baht. The article also mentions hotel developers are taking an interest in Pattaya due to the growing number of visitors.
Mr Sticklike girl lovers (Stickman's) June 17, 2012 column said:
"Even in ultra-expensive Hong Kong you can find a stunningly attractive lady on the likes of xxxxxx which you simply cannot find in the farang nightlife districts of Bangkok, and spend an hour. A full hour. With her for less than $75 all up."
Certainly Mr Stick needs to get out more. Or spend more time reading ISG.
Since at least 2007 in BKK $30 for a ST [which may be up to 2 hrs, but who needs that long to cum] with an attractive FL was still reasonably easy to attain. In fact just a couple months ago in the city of angels one lovely Siam lady told me she went for 700 baht, as times are tough in the capital. A girl has to eat & pay loom. And we know how TGs love to eat. So it's often possible to bargain with them & negotiate for a lower price than the going market norm or rate.
Now in 2014 the same site Mr Slick referred to lists ladies [Thai & foreign] in BKK at a rate of 3500 baht. The HKG prices are at times higher and other times less than that. Pics much photo shopped? What Slick doesn't tell you is if you cross the door threshold in a HKG 141 joint, the rule is they can charge you, even if you get no service or decide you don't want the lady. And the price may also suddenly rise from the online advertised rate, even if you are fortunate enough to find the same girl as in the pics answer your knocking.
Stickboys "ultra expensive" remark is obviously true, which sort of nukes any argument in favor of HKG over BKK based on mongering prices. In HKG you're likely to pay around 100 USD for a tiny claustrophibic 12 square metre hole in the wall of a hotel room. Much like SG. In BKK OTOH it's a similar room re amenities except twice the size and less than half the price.
In Vietnam BTW a comparably good 20 square metre hotel room is 50 percent of that BKK rate. So a huge savings over LOS. Moreover the top rated 2-3 star VN hotels have much better customer review ratings than in these other nations. Service & attitude wise they are like staying at top 5 stars. Bottom line it's easily the best hotel value I've seen anywhere in Asia or the entire universe.

Now I do think Stickman has the megatrend right (he's been quite accurate in that regard) but his ongoing comparisions to other non-Thailand venues. Are often just not accurate. Nearly all markets (from a P4P perspective) have similar problems as globalization and prosperity in southeast Asia continues moving forward.

Hi all,
Allthough walking for years, I recently joined this forum. I will post my experiences soon.
Regarding accomodation I am a bit picky: it should be near the action (Soi 4/7/11) , but a little bit privacy. To be honest, I still feel the walk of shame when I walk into the hotel, passing by the reception where the lady has to leave her I'd. I know, this should be nothing to worry about, but it bothers me somehow.
Therefore I am looking for a serviced, affordable apartment or hotel (where can get in without passing by the reception). Do you guys have any advice / tips / recommendation?
Ln the past I stayed at the following places:
- Nana hotel: indeed, an old fashioned hotel, and poor price / quality ratio. I didn't the hotel.
- Maxim's inn: cheap, but I had to pass the reception to get in, and the girl has to leave her ID.
- Trendy (Soi 13): service apt, I really like it here, since lots of privacy. I tried to reserve a studio there, but couldn't contact the old landlady anymore.

Close to the action of Soi Cowboy and still within walking distance (or only 1 stop on the BTS) of Nana. And of course totally GF and you can walk past the reception to the elevator without the reception girls looking strange at you.

Wolvenvacht's recommendation is spot on, if you want to be at ground zero for Cowboy.
Look forward to your reports! TTG

It's also near Bradman's bar, where I go quite a bit for a bit to eat and a few beers. You can go straight to the floors without stopping at reception, which is a few floors up. Recently though I have trouble getting a room at a good rate, it's been around 2,500 baht so I've had to book elsewhere. Got a really good deal at the Westin one trip, around 3,000 baht. My company was paying and this was in the price range allowed so why not.

Citadines looks good. And the price is also quite. Good. I am thinking of reserving an apartment at Soi 11. But did you stay there? And what privacy, regarding there is a reception desk? The 'walk of shame' bothers me.

Would be grateful if you guys could help in confirming which of the following hotels would be best (needs to be clean, slightly modern, quiet and essentially GF friendly up to 2 women at a time).
1. Le Fenix, Soi 11, Sukhumvit;
2. Citadines, Soi 11, Sukhumvit; or
3. Aloft, Soi 11, Sukhumvit.
Since I will be travelling alone wanted to know which out the above is the most, budget and girl friendly. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Probably a novice question, apologies in advance, but just needed to check if I were to bar fine a girl for ST / LT would she be willing to come to a hotel of my choice which I expect should not be too far away from either Cowboy / Nana (as the case may be) rather than having to take her to one of the short time rooms?

EDITOR'S SUGGESTION: There is a link labeled "Abbreviations" in the menu bar at the top of this page. This will take you to the Forum's Glossary where you will find a chart with most of the Terms & Abbreviations used in the Forum. Thanks!
Would be grateful if you guys could help in confirming which of the following hotels would be best (needs to be clean, slightly modern, quiet and essentially GF friendly up to 2 women at a time).
1. Le Fenix, Soi 11, Sukhumvit;
2. Citadines, Soi 11, Sukhumvit; or
3. Aloft, Soi 11, Sukhumvit.
Since I will be travelling alone wanted to know which out the above is the most, budget and girl friendly. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated. Thanks.I have only been to Aloft and it is new and clean. Large shower that can easily hold 3 people. I think up to around 8pm they don't check I'd's so just walk them thru like they are all hotel guests.

Don't you think?
Probably a novice question, apologies in advance, but just needed to check if I were to bar fine a girl for ST / LT would she be willing to come to a hotel of my choice which I expect should not be too far away from either Cowboy / Nana (as the case may be) rather than having to take her to one of the short time rooms?Tes, No problem.

Tes, No problem.Thanks buddy.
Thanks mate. If they don't check only till 8pm, getting chics thereafter may be a hassle. Don't you think?There is no hassle after 8:00pm. They do check and hold I'd then. I do remember that one night I did bring 2 girls to the room around mid-night and had no problems. But I always pave the way before by saying hello to the door person and asking if they will be on duty later on. If so I usually slip a tip to him or her then. You might also tell him / her that you are expecting to bring a couple guests back later for a few hours and confirm there are not any issues. Do not say overnight guests but just for a few hours of visit.

Usually the girls ask themselves "where is your hotel" to check if it is not too far away. Thai ladies do not really like to walk far. My Thai GF always says when I propose a walk "Easy for you. You have long legs. We have short legs".

I stay at the dynasty for this reason. They have a small alleyway on the side of the building. You are supposed to do the walk of shame thru the lobby however I never have.
More times than not the security never see me bring girls up the alley entrance. If they see me exit with a girl they may assume I brought her in thru the lobby and pay me no mind.
Again you are "supposed to" take them thru the lobby so YMMV here.
Hi all,
Allthough walking for years, I recently joined this forum. I will post my experiences soon.
Regarding accomodation I am a bit picky: it should be near the action (Soi 4/7/11) , but a little bit privacy. To be honest, I still feel the walk of shame when I walk into the hotel, passing by the reception where the lady has to leave her I'd. I know, this should be nothing to worry about, but it bothers me somehow.
Therefore I am looking for a serviced, affordable apartment or hotel (where can get in without passing by the reception). Do you guys have any advice / tips / recommendation?
Ln the past I stayed at the following places:
- Nana hotel: indeed, an old fashioned hotel, and poor price / quality ratio. I didn't the hotel.
- Maxim's inn: cheap, but I had to pass the reception to get in, and the girl has to leave her I'd.
- Trendy (Soi 13) : service apt, I really like it here, since lots of privacy. I tried to reserve a studio there, but couldn't contact the old landlady anymore.

Simple Answer. Almost always "Yes"Thanks guys, you have been really helpful. I hope to make the most of the BKK trip this time around. Last time spent several hours in Soapies and Oilies. Probably, try something else this time around. Again, many thanks.
hai ladies do not really like to walk far. My Thai GF always says when I propose a walk "Easy for you. You have long legs. We have short legs".LOL. I counter by taking a taxi, though.
First time in BKK, I'm a Pattaya regular, been to Buriram and I'm currently in Phuket. I fly standby so fortunately I have to stay over night in BKK but I want to do it on the cheap. I need a hotel I can reach by train, close to where there is some action. Hoping to pay under $50 USD for the room. On airport wifi now looking for suggestions if you got them flight leaves in 2 hours.
Thanks

Will be in BKK in a few days. Looking at the Aloft on 11 and the Park Plaza on 16 Ratchadapisek Road just a little off Sukhamvit. Stayed at the Park before and the hotel was fine but getting the by cab was a royal pains as they mostly didn't know where it was and then had to make a hairy you-turn to get there. And although only 500 meters from cowboy it was a major pain getting there. Anyone have thoughts on Aloft? Tripadvisor gives them both hight ratings. 4.5 Any thoughts would be appreciated. Or another hotel in the same general range 3500 with breakfast. Soi 11 would be great.
Thank sin advance.

Again you are "supposed to" take them thru the lobby so YMMV here.I have found most ladies prefer to register with security for their own piece of mind. Security works both ways.
Usually the girls ask themselves "where is your hotel" to check if it is not too far away. Thai ladies do not really like to walk far. My Thai GF always says when I propose a walk "Easy for you. You have long legs. We have short legs".That is why the Nana Hotel works well with the NPL and Nana Plaza ladies. Location, location, location. For them time is money, and when you indicate you are staying there I find they are more flexible on price for the trade of convenience. In particular the NPL ladies who line the entrance driveway will try hard to interest you with your every entrance and exit of the hotel.

Thank sin advance.Just stayed 1 week at S15 hotel Sukhumvit Soi15, location wise better than Park Plaza and aloft (my own opinion.). Nothing to complain on the room and service.
They will call to make sure you are ok when the girls leaving. Recently there are promotion on their website, worth the $.
Just stayed 1 week at S15 hotel Sukhumvit Soi15, location wise better than Park Plaza and aloft (my own opinion.). Nothing to complain on the room and service.I've stayed there a few times, good location and nice rooms. For 3,500 baht I'd stay at the Westin on Sukhumvit. They have deals on their website and if you sign up to their newsletter they will let you know when they have discount on.
I'm staying at the Hyatt in mid-April for 4,200.

if your hotel is more than a 2 minute walk, i would suggest you take a taxi. thais are lazy to walk. if your hotel is very far away they may not want to go.
if the girl really wants to use a very close st hotel over your hotel, it can be a sign she is in a big hurry, and you will get a bad session. on the other hand it can mean she is **** and st hotel won't check her i'd card and age. rainbow 4 girls are renowned for doing quickie in st hotel and returning after less than 30 mins. plenty of crazy house girls are a bit too young. anyway mention where your hotel is before you seal the deal.
sometimes its wise to be clear how much time you are getting with the girl, if any sort of negotiation happens. don't decide on any girl too quickly. spend a bit of time chatting and having a drink first. forget any girl that wants to really rush it or who proceeds directly to the bf without delay.

When I suggest a cab they look at me like I'm daft. Of course maybe they would look at me that way regardless.

I was going to do the Sofitel but they quoted me a date in October when I was very specific about my dates. When I called them on it they bumped the price 25% over what the website was. Not sure what the heck that was about. I'll try the S15 per Abb8912. They had a late checkout option and I have a 1:00 flight so that works just fine and it saves me an extra day. I'll report my experience. Syzygies, I would like to mention the hotel but quite frankly when I've picked a girl there's no logic with my little head. .
I tend to be a researcher in all things, driving myself crazy, with everything. If we're ever out at a gogo you'll find yourself saying something like "pick one already will ya?" In the famous words of my assistant."Jeez it's only a piece of luggage?".
Now should I hit the gogos on my last night in Pattaya or should I hit Beach Road? LOL
A business associate is trying to book me into the Four Seasons. I could use their corporate discount and get a great rate. However, poking around a little on sites like Trip Advisor, it appears they may discourage guests. Has anyone had experience with this hotel? Is there a discrete way to get women in and out, a side entrance or something? Thanks!

Thought I posted this but it doesn't show up. Here's a quick repost.
Four Points is a Sheraton property and I have always had good luck with them. It's a 1/4 block off Suk on 15. Very good location for what I do. Walking distance to Cowboy and Nana. The rooms are decent sized. Mine is a standard king, about 38 sqm. The breakfast is very goo. Great selection and lot's of it.
The wifi is the best I've had on this trip other than Tokyo. The air-condition actually has a temperature setting that works. And it's not directed over your bed so it's relatively comfortable. The staff is courteous and helpful without being in your face.
Girl friendly and they do not check IDs. So you're on your own. Use common sense with your belongings and make sure the girl is of age.
Other than a small mixup with breakfast being included of not it's a very nice place. The manager was very apologetic for the mixup and comped me two breakfasts. I'll stay here again unless the Sofitel down the street has a special.

Is there a discrete way to get women in and out, a side entrance or something? Thanks!I have not stayed at FS in BKK but I would bet they are def discouraging against "unregistered guests". If this is a priority book somewhere else. Majestic Grande on Suk Soi2 is excellent and very liberal.

Of course maybe they would look at me that way regardless.Probably right that bargirls are lazier to walk, however often MP girls had to go up and down several flight of stairs all day. I am not commonly taking an MP girl to my Hotel, but if so I would usually take a taxi. Walking is fine, if she suggests it. I would not ask her to walk a few blocks. The weather is damn hot in Bangkok right now. Girls do not like to the sun's rays to strike them should it be day time. At night, they fear dark Sois.
When I was taking outcall from Annies, I would normally stay at Majestic Grande for her convenience. LOL She appreciated that although she would have been more thrilled to be in JW Marriott for sure. I used to often stay at Admiral Premier to be close to cowboy but would still offer the girl taxi, even though only 5 mins walk (in her heels). The pavements are not level and street is very dark and not easy to walk for girls. Mostly the girls (usually 2 at a time) would happily accept taxi. Taxi would get fee plus tip for going just 400 metres or less.
Don't you think it comes across as just a bit too thrifty to ask girls to walk several blocks? I stay in cheaper Hotels to maximise money that can be spent on the girls.
When you suggest a cab, they look at you like you are daft? I don't believe this for one minute, unless there are severe traffic jam problems at the time and walking it is far quicker. Are you daft? LOL. My GF is always preferring to take taxi over using the BTS because the BTS is too much effort for her. She is short and wears high heels of course. She doesn't care that taxi will take longer.
I agree with Wolven. They are prepared to happily walk much further in shopping malls, or Chatuchak W.E. market.

LOL.Well, the daft comment was an attempt at self-deprecating humor. I did outcall with Aor (#24 at Annie's) several times. I was staying at the Landmark. She literally laughed the first time we met when I suggested a cab. Then she asked me if I wanted a cab. When I told her I was trying to be considerate of her she said that she liked to walk. She also wanted me to take her for a walk in Lumpini Park one afternoon. While there we spent about an hour paddling around the lake. She did her share of the work. I also did several outcalls with Bo and Cheer from Bamboo. They also wanted to walk from Bamboo the the Landmark. On three occasions will we were out on the town they also preferred walking four or five blocks over taking a cab.
