MG did a lot more than just internet promotion, they had pretty extensive advertising and marketing campaigns, and received a lot of press attention, editorials etc.

But yes, definitely now the best choice for mongers who want to be within walking distance from NEP.

1ball,

I took you up on the great advice.

Got the Solitaire Suite package for $81, all included. Just checked in.

Just my luck, they upgraded me to a Premier Suite!! 80m2 of luxury!

Great call, Thanks!

SB


SB, not wanting to confuse you, but I say the President Solitaire. 3 minutes up the street for GP, but miles above.

But my overall choice would be neither. It would be the Majestic Grande.

i currently stay at the mg and it's really a great hotel. very nice gym, pool, sauna, good breakfast bar.

got the internet special, my room is in the 24th floor, great view towards siam square.

bringing the lady's, no problem, although they have to surrender their id, which is just fine.

i had problems getting my laptop to run on their wi-fi network and asked for assistance: they send up the manager, a gorgeous silk-clad lady in her late twenties, she was sitting in my room, fixing my computer and i couldn’t take my eyes off her crossed legs when she was working away! i didn’t have the guts to ask her, what she is doing after work! oh well! missed opportunity! went to [CodeWord901] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord901)’s instead (again!)

Frank, now what you have to do is fool around with the wi-fi settings again so it won't work. Then call the manager again and ask him to send somebody up to help you get it working again. When the silk clad girlie arrives and fixes it, then don't let the opportunity pass you by a second time. Just ask what she's doing after work. She won't get angry with you or anything. You just might score.

Of course. She only sees 200 middle aged guys, bringing in their hired help for the night, every single day. Go for it, she has never heard it before, and will be thoroughly impressed. !!! :rolleyes:

:D I am sure. But if you don't go for it, then you will always regret it. While in China, I called the front desk to send help teaching me how to use a calling card (IP Card). They sent the young girl that takes care of my floor (each floor has a "key" girl that holds your keys when you go out. She was soooo sexy. I joked with her, but didn't ask her out. The next day, I gave her a small box of american chocolates. She was so happy, but didn't want to take them. I insisted, and told her that to thank me for the chocolates, she could go out with me for dinner. She couldn't that night, but said we could on Saturday (2 days later). Too bad my ex-sister in law came by later that night to take me to Guangzhou. The key girl was kind of upset. Didn't talk to me at all the next couple of days. If I would have acted quicker, I would have had a chance. BTW, I was staying in a hotel that has it's share of mongers, but I was polite, well dressed, and didn't fit the "typical" monger profile, I guess. YMMV.

Coma Boy
06-13-05, 16:53
i get plenty of dates that way.

remember- you will only regret the things you didn't do. (except perhaps if you make the katoey mistake).

or as some old greek dude once put it:

"you can never step in the same river twice; an opportunity missed is missed forever".

as long as you're polite she won't be offended, and so the worst that can happen is she says no. (or has you thrown out of the hotel, arrested, gang-raped and deported).

Yeow, that's just too irresistible to ignore! (And I will note that all of these are real terms, coming from various animal groupings.)

How about a shrewdness, a business, an obstinancy, a skulk, a bloat, a cackle, or an unkindness of katoeys? Or perhaps an intrusion, a boil, a siege, or a plague?

Though I confess these seem the most apropos:

a prickle of katoeys,
a down of katoeys,

or, best of all,

a gulp of katoeys... :rolleyes:

Whatever animal group uses the term "unkindness"?

Amazing what the internet can do for business. The MG has been open for what, 6 months, and already a wait list. it is the big brother of Majestic Suites, and we all know how that place is "Monger Central".

Good for them. Good service, nice rooms, good value, and bring in 10 girls a day, they don't care.

Majestic Grande now features in the 2006 Kuoni brochure for those of you who prefer package trips.

Hi all. I need help.

I'm looking for updates on hotels on or around Suk between B750 - B1200, with pool.
My short list so far,

Honey. (stayed there before....ok)
Woraburi. (seems nice, if a little far up Soi 4)
Miami. (get the impression its run down)
Stable Lodge
Royal Asia Lodge.
Ruamchitt Plaza.
Reno (away from action, but on skytrain)
Swiss Park

Is anyone able to give an update on these places, or suggest others. How would they compare to Nana?

Would I get a discount for staying 10 nights?

Thanks heaps.I have stayed at Royal Asia Lodge, the rooms are neat with TV, fridge etc and good Aircon, and they have a small pool which I do not use. It is a girlfriendly hotel and they have tuk-tuk to drop you at the Nana station as the hotel is about 5-6minute walk from Sukhumvit. You can try Ambassador also which is in the same tariff and GF hotel.

Freeler, great ones -- there are just sooo many to choose from, and I was trying to hold back, as this kind of thing plays into my worst tendencies... Always liked "a murder" as well, but how about a bloat, a prowl, a harem, a sneak, a siege, an infestation, a mischief, a destruction, a knob, a scurry, a pounce, a scourge, an ostentation, (gotta admit that "an ostentation of katoeys" is spot on) an ambush, a cowardice, an implausibility, a deceit, or a nuisance? Or even a "culture of katoeys" as with bacteria, or better still a "mutation of katoeys" as with thrushes... :D

Ok, I've simply gotta stop before I go over the edge!

While the rooms were big, the cleanliness was poor and the deferential at best. While it does have the amenities Nandu mentioned, I think you can definitely get better value for money at the Stable or Swiss Park - even if they cost a few dollars more.

My 2 cents.

Hi Shenzhenwizz,

The best way around it is to RTFF and do a search for Holiday Inn Bangkok. This question has been answered and reported on over and over and over again.

Ralph Kramden
06-15-05, 14:58
Sorry about that Phuquer, but I am in a helpful mood.

The Holiday Inn-Bangkok is most definitely not girl friendly. I suggest you stay in the Silom Village area. The Silom City Inn is a not bad cheap business hotel that will make you register the girl, but for no charge.

It seems to me that with a name like Shenzhenwizz you need all the help you can get from a kindred spirit.

I wonder if there are any computer experts out there who could write a program that brings up an automatic "RTFF, asked and answered" answer to someone who asks a question which has been answered 10 times.

You could forward it to Jackson, who could incorporate it into the forum.

JMHO.

Phuquer
06-15-05, 16:30
Ralph Kramden, nothing to be sorry about. Thank you for helping out. But this one is a really easy one to answer, and it really has been asked many times. All he had to do was click on "Search This Thread" right on the top of this page and enter Holiday Inn. His question would have been answered. If we keep on spoonfeeding the new members all the information, this forum will never move forward. I want the new members to learn to help themselves first. If after doing an honest search they can't find what they want, then an ISO or question post will be appropriate.

06-16-05, 08:38
My current choices offered by my travel agent are...

Indra Regent
Classic Place
Hotel Narai
Century Park

Looking to get back urgently to agent to get everything booked and signed off.

(Prices are all within a similar range with the deals offered by travel agent, Century park looks like the nicest from a web search)

Does anyone know if any of these are decent hotels?, girl friendly?, convenient for mongering? .... but also close to shopping, convenient for 'daytime' tourism?, (a swimming pool for relaxing would be good too) Also I'm there for 5 days after a trip to phuket (fri, sat, sun, mon, tue nights) ... where should i head first? (mid august) ... looking for a good show first then maybe some p4p if i find the right one.

Hax,

I'm not familiar with any of the hotels you mentioned, but I'm going to Bangkok in two weeks time and booked to stay at Dursit Thani Hotel. I was given very good recommendations i.e. girl friendly, very central for mongering (walking distance to Patpong), good Spa and swiming pool. It is a 5 star hotel, I booked on-line with
Precision Reservations and got a superior room for only USD 94 per night.

Hope this helps.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn last February. Unfortunately was there with the wife so wouldn't know much about GF but I would recommend you try the Massage parlour
downstairs, its full of young girls waiting to be called. You can have a girl come to your room or have a massage there.I had two massages, obviously not in my room, both girls were very quick to offer extras. I think I paid THB 1000 each time for the extras. The second time I was there the girl was an 8 about 22yrs and had her strip naked to give me a boob massage. Quite an experience !

Prince Hotel near Plaza Entertainment Center, right? I looked at it the last time I was in LOS. It looks pretty nice. Not sure if it is girl friendly, but I will guess that it is. Close to Plaza, but a little out of the way if you want to go to Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy, or Patpong. I walked from Nana Plaza to Prince hotel, then past Soi Cowboy and it was a VERY long walk. My feet still throb when I think about it.

I have posted about The Promenade a couple of times, answering the same questions :)

The Promenade at Soi 8 is definitely girl friendly.
Rooms are OK but nothing special, standard equipment, AC, TV, mini bar, in room safe (rather a box than a safe), queen size bed, bath tub and a bit worn down.
They have a pool and gym on roof top but forget about both. The pool is too small for being called a "swimming pool" and everything at the gym is broken.

There is a sign in front of the hotel saying the room rate is 1.000. Just tell them that you will pay cash and that you have been there before paying just 800 (old price) or 900 (new price).

It's better than the Royal Asia but you can get better ones if you book over the net and add just a couple of hundred baht.

If for some reason you decide to read my itinerary (not that any newbies actually do read my itinerary, the FAQ, or any parts of this forum):

(http://www.*************.info/forum/showpost.php?p=364994&postcount=1460)

you will see that there is a small selection of hotels that are popular among the mongers. All the hotels mentioned are VERY girl friendly. No need to pay .01 satang more at any of them.

Phuquer, you are wasting your time. They find the site, empty their brain into the nearest toilet, and decide to ask a really dumb ass question. much easier than RTFF, where the dumb ass question, and dozens of other questions would be answered. it might also make for some interesting and sometimes amusing reading. Why don't they RTFF? Fuck if I know.

Morons.

might I suggest you merely post the link to your itinerary, without a commment, in the future. Would be interesting to read the follow up dumb ass question.

I heard from a Thai friend that Prince tends to actively discourage long noses, preferring to do business with asian customers so I wondered if anyone had tried it out.

I'm surprised the Promenade is in run down condition. It had a pretty good outward appearance when I was last in the area, though I didn't stay there.

Mr. 1Ball, that is a good idea. When we get a question that can be answered either by the FAQ or the itinerary, we should just respond by quoting the question and then posting the link, either:

Naughty,

that largely depends on what you are used to. The rooms are OK, but a bit old. Wallpapers and carpets often don't look that nice anymore and bathrooms sometimes would benefit from a new painting. They haven't renovated any room for over fifteen years. But all in all a fair price/quality ratio.

Make sure the taxi driver is clear about where he is supposed to take you.I'm aware of the Prince Palace. It's about the only one you can find if you Google Prince. Over toward the river and old BKK, and located on the upper floors of a tall office building it is. Appears to be new and very nice as well as very reasonably priced (trying to build clentele and word of mouth to offset the central but somehow sort of isolated location I think.) I'll probably check it out, at least have a look, later this year when I do a little traveling.

I stayed in the Prince, the one on Phetburi once a few years ago but an Isaan lady I was traveling with booked the room. The staff seemed a bit surprised when I showed up and later on I heard about the hotels preference for the asian trade. Something about asians being less inclined to cause trouble when they come back to the hotel half blotto than other human sub-species are.

It was nice enough back then (a few years ago) but nothing special. Clean and comfortable etc, an excellent value. It had a fishbowl, but I got a strong impression that it was out of bounds for me; I think it was restricted to asians only. I'm sure you could have got a girl through a bellboy easy enough.

I was hoping to hear it had eased up as I happen to like the location for various reasons.

Dear All,

Does any of you know which hotel is GF and has newly renovated rooms with decent shower and bathtub along Ratchadapisek road? Should be within my budget of BHT 2000 for a twin sharing. The only GF hotels I know are very run down for e.g Palazzo, Siam Beverly Hotel. Poor room atmosphere, no cable tv, low shower pressure etc. Felt embarassed when I brought back a girl from a top tier establishment nearby. Infact I was equally embarassed as if i was being stopped at the lift when I bring a girl back to a none GF hotel.

I just can't possibly treat myself with a luxury room and having able to bring a girl back! Help! Urgent!

I stayed at Palazzo three years ago. It was rather nice. I booked a junior suite for about 3.000 baht af far as I recall.

Top floor with balcony, large living room area, large room, queen sized bed, large bathroom.

Very girl-friendly. Nobody even blinked one evening when a Japanese customer came in with in tow two very provocative ladyboys sucking his thumbs :)

Not top-luxury, but more than decent. Next door to Mirage, one of the good MPs. The location is not great for Suk-mongers, although the metro system shoul dmake it more accessible than it was then.

Are there any girl-friendly-no-joiner-fee hotels in the Thaniya area or Ramaland Bldg @ Rama 4 road vicinity or near to Pan Pacific? I know that Montien is a BIG NO NO. My budget is around THB2,500~2,800. I'll be in BKK from 27~29 this month.

I searched for Majestic Grande located at 12 Sukhumvit road soi 2 but no idea if it's near to Ramaland Bldg.

Please advise. Thanks.

My company had put me at the Holiday Inn Silom. What I found that was that I gave the girl my room key and we walked in together, her obviously carrying the key. No one stopped her. Just make sure you tell her which elevator to take. Before about 22:00 security is very lax for bringing someone up. After then you just have to be more assertive. I think this should work anywhere.

Happy Hunting

I've managed to narrow down my search. Thanks to *********. I understand that there are only 2 GF hotels along Rachada Rd.

Merchant court and Palazzo. So, that left Merchant Court in hand. Anyone out there who has been to Merchant Court with a girl, pls comment. Is it really a GF hotel?

I was there once but never managed to get a girl back to my room. During the reception check in process, they asked for the other guest's name. Told them she was not in BKK yet but I wanted another key for her. Did not fill in the form but wrote her name (asked her for it in advance since I know this hotel might give me a bit of trouble). They gave me an extra key but as I mentioned before, never brought her back in the end and hence not able to tell if it is GF or not.

Swissotel Le Concorde (Merchant Court) is only GF friendly if you booked as double when you check in.

Else they will stop you and ask for additional payment. If you intend to bring someone back after 9pm, it is cheaper to check in as double than pay up later.

There are NO rooms below $2000Baht.

You pay for what you get. It is a VERY NICE high-class hotel.

The hotels you listed are all decent or much better, but that area is an MP district. If you want to meet up with women and take them to your room, I would suggest something closer to Suhmkumvit.

I can tell you from personal experience that the Emerald has no visitors charge during the day, but it does from the evening on. It is not a first class hotel.

The Merchant Court is a first class hotel. I would be proud to take any womean there, but GF, I don't know.

Ralph,

I always visit the MP and later in the night bring the girl right after she gets off work. The proximity of the hotel is for my convenience since I can just walk back to my hotel and also bring her or get her to drop by without much effort. If it is a better idea to stay in Suhmkumvit, here is a list of some hotels labelled as GF hotels by bankok tonight:

Majestic Suites
Landmark Hotel
Grace Hotel
Star Inn Hotel
Grand President (Service Apt)
President Solitaire
Centre Point Sukhumvit
Manhattan Hotel
Somerset Hotel
Royal President
Drop Inn Bangkok
JW Marriot
Dynasty Inn
Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit
Stable lodge
Emporium Suites
President Park

Any recommedations? I've never stay in Suhmkumvit before. Hope you can help a bit. Thanks

Gaolei,

I used to stay at the Montien and also tried the Tawana Ramada once.
Both are girl UN-friendly, the Montien charges 1.000 as Asian Monger #2 said and the Ramada will charge you 800 baht joiner fee.

A friend of mine - a cute Thai btw - is a travel agent and just had a look at the rooms at the Ramada. She told me that it is not as good as it has been. Rooms are run down a bit.

Prado,

I respect the fact that everyone has their own personal proclivities, but it seems to me you are paying double by boning a girl in an MP and then having her come to your room to spend the night. Keep in mind that she may start work around 6 to 7 PM and then service up to 6 or 7 customers, which means she could be pretty well used by the time she gets to your room.

May I suggest you arrange for her to come to your room in the afternoon before she starts work, when she is fresh. I did this a couple of times with a Mirage girl and it worked out (in actually) great.

From Coma Boy's list, the Emporium Suites sounds like a good bet to me. From there the Rachada MP district is only one BTS station and then 2 or 3 stops away on the subway, plus you will be well situated to look for free lancers in the Nana area.

Who knows, you might even run into Samus Aran at an Emporium restaurant and get tips from the "Master Monger" himself.

I only go for the top tier models, they (models) only service max 3 customers a day. Sometimes 1 (real top tier model) arrangement with a very reliable mamasan. I normally don't take the same girl back to hotel if after visting the MP. Just a back up plan in case I really find one that I think it's worth the overnight companion. I find that staying near these MP are much more convenient since, if after the tiring pick I can just walk back for a rest and head back down if time permits. It really makes it far more convenient in terms of time for travelling esp the bad traffic during peak times. But since there is a subway in operation now, it doesnt make any difference. In the past, I had to beat the traffic in order to get to the MPs for the best selections and I found it a waste of time and very frustrating esp when the load was heavy.

I have a better understanding of your selection process now. You are in a much different and higher class league that most Bangkok mongers operate in. Therefore, you would probably be disappointed in chasing free-lance street tail, and should stay out of the Suhkumvit area.

Here are a couple of suggestions:

I stayed at the Fortune Hotel last December. It is a nice hotel, reasonably priced, in a great location adjacent to a shopping mall and right on a subway stop. About being girl friendly I don't know. I don't particularly like the bar scene, but like being serviced in the early evening at an MP and then relaxing the rest of the night. If I can make a good connection with an MP or other girl for outside activities, then that is fine.

I am looking to stay at the 4 Star Chayopaya Hotel on Rachada Road this next December. It is also very reasonably priced and near a subway stop. Don't know about GF status.

Other than that, you might check out the Merchant Court. I would call them before you book and ask what their guest policy is. It is not a busy hotel from what I have seen visiting there several times. They might be open minded.

Then there is always the Emerald. Here is a link to a reservation web site that lists Rachada Hotels and shows a map.

I've stayed at Tawana Ramada once and didn't pay a joiner fee. However, I was stopped at the elevator by security on one occasion. I told them I had booked for 2 people and, interestingly, they let me register the girl on the spot. Other times, no security person was present and we went to my room uninterrupted. Agree with other poster that the hotel is showing signs of wear, but great location for patpong enthusiasts (if there are any left).

I might stick to Merchant Court. Will they actually tell you if it is possible to bring a MP girl back without any joiner fees? Actually I have been to both of the above mentioned. I posted something on the non GF of Emerald. Went through HELL with that hotel. Had an escort from Venus and at that time did not know there is such thing as GF hotels. She called from the lobby and said she was stopped by the lift man. I went down and blasted them since the receptionist asked me for BHT 500 joiner fee. At time I didnt know what joiner fee was but I was sure not going to pay. They gave up and I took the girl up after she left her ID without the receptionist after I threatened them. By the way, this Alex from Venus. He's crapt. Told me the girl was a free lance but it turned out that she was a girl from a bar. I never let her stayed overnight cause I was quite turn of after knowing she was not what it was claimed.

As for Merchant Court, they actually asked for the other guest's particulars during check in. So I'm a bit worried in this aspect since I am not going to be able to provide it since I dont even know who I'll be bringing back to my room. The last time I was there, filled in a MP girl's name that I got from her after quite a bit of persuasion since you know they never reveal their real names. But I never got the chance to try out to see if it works since she never turn up that night. She chickened out after knowing I had a sandwich at her MP. She knew I was damn horney and would fuck her all night non-stop. Anyways, I'll do the same this time and hopefully the girl will come without obstacles. Thanks for the suggestions. Will report once I get back from my short mongering trip to LOS. Ciao

A W Grand business Inn open 6 month ago.

1200 baht a nite.

Location Sukhumvit Soi 11.

They also have a budget inn across the street for your budget monger for 500 baht a nite, very girl friendly and friendly and helpful staff.

Walking distance from Nana and Thermae. I stayed there 5 times already have a travel agent and business center.

The lobby of that place (AW Grand Business Inn) looks great through the windows, and is a perfect location. But how are the rooms? Any pool? I was put off as the outside of the building looks pretty shitty, and it is only about five floors high, and I like being high.

I still think JW Marriot is a Nana monger's best bet, but have to say whether or not you stay there, anyone who misses Western food should check out their New York Steakhouse- my favourite non-Thai restaurant in BKK (after Wrap-It in Emporium). Excellent wines, excellent Martinis and unbelievably good meat, service, decor, waitresses etc.

If you're into luxury type hotels, as I am, you might be interested in the Conrad. Usually bringing girls back to luxury hotels in Bangkok is a strict no-no; as a rule you won't get any farther than the elevator. The Conrad is a pleasant exception. I stayed there last week and was able to walk right through the lobby with a girl a picked up at a bar, and took her to my room with no problem. I was so elated with by this that I did it a couple more times, still with no problem. Their internet rate for a room with king size bed is US$135 a night, which is cheap by international luxury hotel standards. The Conrad is on Wireless Road (Wittayu in Thai).

Metropolitan, Banyan Tree, Mandarin Oriental, Shangrai La, Regent, Royal Orchid Sheraton, Peninsula, JW Marriot, Conrad, Sukhothai are all extremely guest-friendly.

The staff in top-end hotels are usually well trained to treat the guests with respect and so it is considered the guest's prerogative whether or not he sleeps alone.

One forum-poster once very aptly quoted the JW Marriot's manager- "we practice hospitality, not morality".

I think it is only lower-end hotels with unscrupulous night-staff, or hotels that rely heavily on package tourists and families, and thus want to maintain a clean image that are unfriendly.

I had problems with the Emerald once but after i reliase that they rely mostly on package tourists and families. I began to choose other conveninet hotels nearby the MPs. Palazzo for e.g. are catered mainly for mongers and thus no problem at all. Don't know the rest nearby. As mentioned, I 'll report after getting back next week.

I recently spent 4 nights in Bangkok and stayed at the Majestic Grande Hotel having been a fan of the Majestic Suites in the past. I booked into a Executive Grande deluxe room and paid US$361 for the four nights.

The location is great as it's a short walk through Annie's car park to Nana.

There were no hassles about it being girl friend friendly, although one evening a clerk approached me at the lift and requested ID. I politely told him to mind his own business. No hassles.

The food service is pretty good.

I found the pool area small but enjoyable to use including the jacuzzi.

My only complaints involved low water pressure for hot water being on the 24th floor. Hot water was almost impossible to obtain in the shower and on one afternoon, none at all. Most times, I could get hot water in the bathtub. Strange problem? On two occasions, one of the lifts was out of operation resulting in a long wait.

The hotel represents good value for money and is a good alternative to the nearby Landmark. Staff and service are top class.

I'd happily stay at MG again so long as the teething problems had been fixed!

It's an eight-story hotel with eight rooms per floor, four on each side. If your room faces the front, your windows will look out over Sukhumvit Road. If your room faces the rear, your windows will look out at the adjacent building if you're on a low floor or at the Nana sign if you're on a high floor. The rooms are relatively small but have a big bed, a decent bathroom with good hot water, a mini-fridge, a cable TV, and a closet with an electronic safe in it.

Even the Deluxe rooms at Majestic Suites are tiny, it is fine for a night or two, but any longer and you'd start to feel a little claustrophobic.

But it is obviously a great location (less than three seconds walk to the nearest hooker), and the rooms are new and nicely outfitted. Also has a good in-house movie channel.

Prado-

It is probably me that recommends Precision Reservations, I hadn't ever noticed the extra charges, yet have probably paid them a million times. Guess I should have paid a little more attention.

I like PR as they've always been very reliable and tend to use PR more for trips outside Thailand- Laos, Nam, Manilla, Yangon, etcetera etcetera.

Lorenzo is right. This hotel very girl friendly. I bought back on five nights by Taxi and they were treated like royalty by the bell boys - etc.

There is also a disco in evening -Club 87- that is full of free lance hookers. However they get tipped off by bar staff of the guest status and charge accodingly e.g. 4,000 to 7,500 a night and hard to negotiate dwn because they know that someone else is on way (I was told the 4,000 quote was cheap for that place). I bought back two seperate girls from Soi Cowboy and one (for three!!!! nights) from Sukhamvit 1 Plaza. Much cheaper that way and as I said they were treated like my wife.

In the bar (at Conrad) one girl tried to sting me for all her previous drinks of herself and two friends, probably thinking that as I had a hard on and two gin& tonics I would not check the bill for a third drink. I just told the staff that I was not going to pay for there previous drinks and walked out (went to Soi and got an all nighter for 2,000).

One girl I found drunk in lift who collapsed when i was inside. Bought the lift down to ground (1st floor) and straight away a bell boy was there to look after her, telling me I could go and it was OK - so they probably monitor lifts.

Girls can not get to rooms by themselves, as you need to place your key card in lift and then it will only go to your floor.

As for the hotel itself - fantastic.

RaulRaul, Coma Boy and Alex have already provided great advice. My 2 cents are the Majestic Suites offer the better value for money. Many of the topaz and executive studios in GP are already a little run-down and for the price I definitely would not recommend this hotel. Majestic Suites offer a good location (though I would favor GPs location because of its proximity to Q-Bar, Bed Supper Club, my favorite street bars and some other places), nice BUT TINY rooms and a bad coffeeshop. However the rates are very down to earth. If the place is not fully booked yet for the time, you want to visit, give it a try. You will not regret it.

Tingle Tree,

his request for your girl's ID was for your own protection. They often keep copies of the IDs in case you might find out later that something was stolen and they call you when the girl leaves the hotel alone to check back that everything is ok.

So - even if you were polite - telling him to mind his own business wasn't neither very smart nor a friendly gesture (mind your wording). He was just doing his job.

To respond to the feedback from my earlier post about the Conrad and the girl-friendliness of luxury hotels, I guess things have changed for the better since the late 90s. At that time I tried to bring a girl into the Dusit Thani and couldn't get as far as the elevator. I was able to sneak a girl into the Montien, although this is slightly sub-luxury. However, I seriously doubt that anyone could get a girl into the Oriental. I recently took a girl there for lunch and they didn't even want to let her in the front door, until they realized she was with me. I think it was because she was wearing a miniskirt. If anyone has been successful getting a girl up to a room in that renowned establishment, please post. I deliberately have refrained from staying there for that very reason, but if it is indeed girl-friendly I would love to do so, since it is reputed to be one of the world's greatest hotels.

Lorenzo,

as long as the girls are dressed properly they do not object and will let them in. If you are worried just buy your girl a long dress at a street vendor so that she can cover her miniskirt. As long as it isn't obvious that she is a P4P you will have no prob.

BTW, when I pick a gogo girl I usually expect them to wear jeans or a long dress but one once was wearing a miniskirt as well. I was quite shy about it, even though it was very sexy, because it looked quite slutty. The girl at the reception just smiled at me.

Regulars are usually dressed properly so no prob of bringing them back home no matter where you stay.

Seydlitz
07-03-05, 23:09
Lorenzo,

I would like to chime in; I do not believe that the staff in high-end hotels would make any fuss about your bringing a girl in, as long as she is not shockingly slutty. But that would be true anywhere in the world.

I have never stayed in a top-hotel in Bangkok, but I have taken a girl for drinks and snacks at the Oriental (the bar and the swiming pool area), and for dinner at the Shangri-La (nice Mongolian barbecue on the terrace along the river BTW). No issue whatsoever, and I am pretty sure that I would have been able to bring her to my room, had I been a resident.

Technically, I do not think that they could object to your choosing to spend teh night with this or that person, as long as you have booked a double room. They might want her to register, but that is in your best interest too.

Very little face to save indeed. The real embarassment is rather when you are with your own real long-term sweetheart, and she is treated like a guest for the night by hotel staff. In Thailand, any Thai lady seen in the company of a Farang man is often assumed to be some sort of prostitute anyway.

Traveller, I take your point. But, I spend about 3 months year in hotels and am usually escorted by lovely, local ladies, so I am hardly new to this game.

My view is that as the customer (who books a double) I will decide if the lady is to register or not. In this particular case, the lady had already stayed with me for several nights so she was known to be staying with me.

Why I took offense is that a group of 3 couples were standing waiting for the lift and he singled her out. Her dress was more than suitable.

I know a bit about loss of face, so his action was unappreciated and inappropirate for him to initiate unless it was done for all present. I was not rude but stated that registration was my decision and not necessary.

By the way, for the first time I was challenged at a large hotel in Singapore and I was then very assertive to the clerk advising that I never had a problem at the hotel in the past. In that case, I believe he was looking for a 'backhand' payment after midnight and unsupervised. For the record, a double room was booked.

Otherwise, the majestic Grande was great and very, very girl friendly.

I also know that despite some observations some hotels frown on guests, restrict to one person only as a guest for several days or demand guest fees.

Love Bangkok but head to Indonesia next!

Don't worry too much about 'loss of face'. Although the concept is very important in SE Asia, the girl is a pro and couldn't care less. She is so cool about the incident you describe that 'loss of face' is the least idea which crosses her mind at that moment IMHO.

MG superior room was small but otherwise the service and staff was very good. The rate was USD62 for 2 with breakfast. Check out www.asiarooms.com .No issues with visitors as I saw many mongers with girls.

Frankfurter,

I am not sure, but guess that Tingle Tree felt embarrassed that the clerk asked for her ID in front of other guests. Therefore I guess he meant that he lost face.

Anyway, any Thai staying with a farang will be looked at as a P4P girl, no matter if she is one or not.

Probably the clerk didn't know that she was already staying with him for a few days, so he might be excused. On the other hand he could have done that in a smarter way and no need to do that in front of other guests.

I use Precision reservations regularly. Works great.

I got a pretty nifty room at the Davis hotel for $55/night incl. taxes and fees.

Does anyone know if they are Girl Friendly? Is there a polite way to approach the subject? Is it only a matter of having booked for double occupancy?

There are no signs posted and the place is rather swank.

Have previously stayed at The Davis without any problems.

Just ignore any comments when you return to your room, it is unlikely they will say anything but if they do then politely find a way to say- "Why the fuck do you think I booked a double room you piece of shit!".

Politely, of course.

Hi All,

I will be in bangkok in tuesday evening. I could not book hotel for some reason. This is my third visit. Now, could someone please help me which is the best hotel I can go and get a room. The hotel should be with swiming pool and girl friendly. I prefer shukhmit or MP area. What about the GP or president park? do they charge more, if not reserved? my plan is three days.

Please help?

Fman,

it's low season and there shouldn't be any prob to get a room anywhere.
The price largely depends on your bargain skills, you can get a better price by just walking in (again, it's low season) but some internet prices are hard to beat.

Why not use a local travel agent ? There is a small travel agent in Suk Soi 5 right hand side, a bit before Gullivers. She once got me a good rate for the Royal President.

Why dont you try nana hotel through their website. I got a great deal there. Room with breakfast 1230 Baht. 24 hour check out. No payment online. Login to their website. I think its www.nanahotel.com or go through google. If you go through other discount portals the rate is higher. And it is centrally located, girl friendly, decent swimming pool, disco and bang opposite nana entertainment center apart from that walking distance to all the mongering places and the sky station too.

A few years back, I was staying at the Holliday Inn, but the place was such a hassle that I wanted to find something else. I saw the Ramada and, since I had a hotel card for them, I decided to try to stay there. I went to the front desk and was quoted an outrageous price for a room for the night. I had just seen a sign in a window of a travel agent down the street that had a great price, so I asked the hotel for the same deal. They said the price was impossible. Well, I walked out and down the street to the travel agent and booked the room for a great price. An hour later, I had my luggage and checked in at the impossible price and got a good room.

Just to show, the travel agencies can often do much better than the hotel, so stop in in Pattaya before heading to BKK and book the room, or stop at an agent in BKK.

PS, the Ramada was a hassle, but just a small hassle.

Had a similar experience when I went to Macau in December. I was in Guangzhou headed to Macau and it was getting late. I decided to call some hotels to book a room before I got to Macau. I called all the numbers I could find and all said sorry, they were fully booked. Then I asked a friend in Guangzhou and he said "No problem, an agent here could find you a room in Macau". He wasted so much time, and in the end told me "Sorry, fully booked. You can try to find a room when you get to Macau." I didn't want to head to the Macau Airport and sleep there, so I asked to be taken to an internet bar in Guangzhou. There, I went on Travelocity and was able to book a room in a hotel that I had called on the phone and they had said they were booked. I paid for the room through Travelocity. When I got to the hotel, the girl that told me they were booked checked me in. I had to wait a few minutes as they finished cleaning the room, but everything worked out.

Staying at the Silom City Inn (http://www.silom-cityinn.bangkok.com/rooms.htm). Rate Baht 1300 for two / Baht 1100 for one, for double standard room, inclusive breakfast (not bad) for two and wireless LAN. Quiet location (between Surawong and Silom Soi 22 ---5 minute Tuk Tuk ride from Patpong and the Sala Daeng BTS [which will get you to Nana/Asoke areas]), very comfortable, friendly staff, and above all GF (if you go for the Baht 1300 rate, no hassles bringing your own woman). Highly recommended.
You can make a booking before you come to Thailand, even if you arrive 2.00am, and they don't require credit card details.

Yes I did to travel to bangalore in India. It turned out to be much costlier than even the published rate, forget the discounted rate. I checked into Taj West end through them and they charged me @ US$210 + taxes per day. Luckily I paid just for one day. When I landed there I realised the published rate was just about US$ 145 plus taxes, but then I had already paid through the credit card. I extended my stay there on the listed tariff of US$145 plus taxes for then next 5 days.

I wrote back to Asia Rooms with the copy of the bill that I received for the 5 days vis a vis the forst day when I booked through them. And I got an answer that they levied a service charge on the rack rate and that is why it was costlier.

Have never tried them anywhere else after that. You could be right. Maybe they are not legit.

I just used them and what they are doing is adding the 17% tax + a very small service fee. They flatten it out to $10 per day. Unfortunately, Presicion Reservations are now doing it for Planet Holiday. Planet Holiday was much better when they did it themselves and were also all inclusive of the tax. Now the tax is seperated. They offer a best-rate guarentee, but mixing, matching, etc. could be so time consuming.

Anyway, right now it's $49 + $10 here or at Asiarooms it's $53, all in. Both have breakfast. So long as the reservation works, I'll be quite happy either way. Next time, I'll be shopping harder. When I booked, it was $48 + $10. So I'm paying $5 extra, $15 for 3 days. The difference of a morning newspaper delivered.

I sure can't wait when everyone who's controlling the price of oil and gas are arrested, however.

This also happen to me in ambassdor. I also got away from paying. 4-5 star hotel is good only if you need a larger pool. From now on i stay in the small hotel or ask up front if you can bring girl back or not just to be safe.

The Windsor suite cost about 2200 baht a nite. They also have a smaller inn across the street about 1400 baht a nite. Check www.asiaroom.com

It looks like I will go with the Majestic Grande for my brief September trip. Price is at ~$70/nite which includes tax, etc. When I inquired with Precision Reservations I also notice a discrepancy in the posted price of $59 and the $70 quote that I got. It was easily explained using the "live chat" help function--as mentioned the $70USD figure included the taxes. Howver I intend to book directly with the hotel using their website. (same price)

Originally I thought I would go the Priceline route and probably get the JW Marriott, it looks like it is going for around $83/nite currently.

I think I will be happy at Majestic, though I wonder if another $10-15 is really that much more for the Marriott. Oh well, I can always stay there on my next trip! Sometimes I just think too much!

While I am there, I hope to also check out some other properties for future reference, like Royal President and a couple other "upscale" but not too pricey places.

Good source of information here.

Prado, I PM'd you, hope you are still around, I am interested in hearing more about how you operate in BKK. High-end model types sound pretty good to me! I tend to prefer quality over quantity. On my short list are Eden Club and one of the BJ Bars, perhaps Lol ita since they have a website at least, makes me think it might be a nice environment! (Then again I may be wrong!)

I am up for any suggestions, this is my second trip to BKK, the last one was a few years back though! Stayed at Nana Hotel last time, I have a bit more discretionary income at this point and want to optimize my experience! I very much enjoyed hanging out in the lobby at Nana and learning from the experience of the old-timers that gathered there everyday. Haha, back then the net was pretty new still and I was working off of Mac Horn's "A Gentlemen's Guide to the Erotic Women of Asia" book that a friend gave me! Lol that brings back memories!

***CORRECTION TO PREVIOUS POST***

I didn't realize at the time I posted that the Priceline figures I gave for JW Marriott DO NOT INCLUDE TAXES, whereas the $70/nite rate on Maj. Grande does include the taxes.

That would actually make the JW Marriott prices from Priceline come up to around $100 based on Pricelines taxes and service fees.

Sorry for any confusion, I was a little info deficient on that myself.

The Windsor Suites Hotel is not girl friendly after 10pm. If you bring a girl after 10pm, they will charge you 1000 baht (guest room rate). This is strictly listed in their manual and they adhere to it. This will also happen if the girl comes to meet you too like at 1am, unless she is registered to stay.

Book a double and register the girl before hand and you won't have trouble. Also, if the hotel knows you, they won't bother you as days progress. Ironically, Sheraton Grande is girl friendly, but their room rates are double/triple that of Windsor, so go figure. Is it easy to Priceline Sheraton Grande? Let me know.

As for the next door Windsor Hotel from the Windsor Suites, I recommend staying in the Windsor Suites instead. Good price, good security (so far since I've stayed there) and friendly people. Excellent breakfast spread, decent restuarants and their room service menue is affordable and has very delicious items. Many from Japan stay in the Windsor Suites and I like the hotel very much. Since I speak Japanese, I fit right in there. The room is just what I look for. It's just right for me.

Softlover, could you give us a rundown on your impressions/experience with the Grand President?

====

In response to the question about the Sheraton Grande, apparently the JW Marriot is the most common 5 star hotel to get with Priceline when you ask for Sukhumvit area. Though it is possible to get the SG or the Westin Grand. There is a whole intricate way that the bidding works there, I found that the forums on betterbidding dot com explains it pretty well if you are willing to do a little reading.

====

BTW I finally booked at the Majestic Grande at ~$70USD/nite on their website ("Grand Superior" room). I figured if I wanted to change anything about my reservation, then I could do it directly and wouldn't have to go back through an agency.

I didn't go for the larger room although it was only ~$6 more, the reason being that it was stated here that the larger rooms ("Grand Premier") on the 8th floor should be avoided due to water noise from the restaurant below on the 7th floor. But when I pulled up the available rooms on the website, the only Grand Premier rooms were all located on the 8th floor. So that is why I took a pass on that. (I don't like noise!!!) ;) I can't even tell if there are any of those rooms on any other floors. Anybody know?

Short Field Report:

Just come back from BKK stayed at Manhattan Hotel Soi 15 for 5 nights, then after travelling came back and stayed at The Raumchitt Plaza (corner of Soi 15) for 4 nights.

The Manhattan - booked through UK tour company (East Siam) and got a rate of 980 Baht/night for a double. This is great value as Manhattan are doing 1,700 on the internet. This hotel is lovely, clean and totally GF (as long as you book double). However, the buidling noise from the back is horrific in the morning - so ask for front room.

Raumchitt Plaza - we arrived back in BKK at 12.30am, so had to find somewhere quickly - Manhattan was full, so popped around corner Raumchitt offered double at 1,200/night. The rooms are pretty jaded, but it was essentially clean and had ac, hot water, etc. They are not just girl friendly in this hotel, the whole place is actually set up to service the Thermae trade from before. As such it is entirely expected that you may be taking a few friends every day up to your room. No problems, no questions asked. Two of the girls told me that it was a short time hotel and they didn't actually expect people to stay there for a few days at a stretch !

The best Soi 15 hotel is the Somerset, but it's a bit out of my budget for this trip.

Softlover, could you give us a rundown on your impressions / experience with the Grand President?My pleasure. I arrived at the hotel at 6 am and could go to my room immediately. It was in Tower 3 which is located on the left side of Soi 11, down a lane opposite to the main hotel entrance. I found the room huge - even with 3 girls the bed wouldn't have been crowded - and with a kitchen plus CD- and videoplayer better equipped than what I really needed. I asked the housekeeper for two extra towels and they were automatically replenished the next day. The only weak points of the room were a leaking shower head and a very slow hot water supply.

The free wireless internet is accessible in the lobby, the café and the breakfast room on the ground floor of the main building. This worked out very well for me although during a longer stay I might treat myself to in-room internet at 220 baht.

This was the first time I booked through wired-destinations.com. They have a handy interface which I used to add another day just 2 days before my arrival. Prices may be quite the same everywhere except at the hotel itself. I tried to reserve a Topaz Studio last spring by calling the hotel but they said they were all full and gave me the next better suite a special rate of about 3100 baht, breakfast not included, which is about twice the 43 USD I paid this time!

I had booked a single room but the only charge at checkout was 7 baht for 2 calls to Eden. No hassle with security. So chances are I may not try the Grand Business until time is too short for an Internet booking at the Grand President.

The hotel is locate on soi 11 (pink zone). The rooms vary: some are nicer than others as they are going through remodeling. The hotel has 3 towers, the one I like is across the street from the other two. The service is standard nothing special and the prices are standard for BKK 2,000 bt and up).

The one thing I like about this hotel is the location. It has a nice mix of skanking and everyday life.. It is a great location for people watching if you sit on the german restaurant on the first floor of the third tower. There is a good mix of restaurants, hotels, condos, clubs and massage on soi 11. A nice slice of Bangkok. Also, it is located on walking distance from the Nana skytrain station.

Yeah, Raumchitt Plaza is a ST hotel, you must've been the first person to spend more than a few hours there in years.

I passed through Bangkok 4 times during the past month. I decided to stay in Nana Plaza area as I had not been there. I chose the Dynasty Inn. I was pleased with the location, rooms and service and price. I paid 1,090 baht for a room with everything I needed. The place is completely girl friendly and close to the Nana Plaza action. A 24 hour internet cafe is directly across the street. Decent food available in the lobby/restaurant. I recommend it if you are staying near Nana Plaza.

Windsor Suites aren't guest friendly before 10 PM either, I was required to pay the (then) 800 baht joiner at 3:30 PM. However, other times no security were present at the elevators, and nobody at the front desk said anything. I only had to pay extra for that one guest, of the 4 I brought in, but it was enough to not want me to stay there again. Pity since I liked the place, separate sitting room, 2 tvs, nice breakfast, good location, for about 1900.

I've gotten the Sheraton Grande from priceline twice for $70 USD bids, better than JW Marriott, and certainly better than the Westin, I think.

Hey, I like the place. It's not too bad for the money. I have stayed there many times. It's better than the Nana Hotel in some respects. I don't know about you but I have never seen being rented out by the hour. They also have a decent a/c beer bar on the ground floor.

Duniwala,

I didn't see an obvious second floor of Bush Garden, but they have recently opened a bar called M's Bar just above Bush Garden - probably the place you were referring to.

We popped into M's Bar at about 1.30am Tues morning, it was fairly empty, but had a good selection of friendly girls, sports on the big screen and continues to served beers until 3am. - can't go wrong really !

I have stayed at Nana Hotel numerous times. Normally just the first couple of nights and then move on. The saftey deposit boxes on the ground floor are secure. I have used them every visit and no problems. I would prefer an in room safe, its a bit of a nusiance going down the elevator to grap the digital camera if you forgot on the way up. Normally I stay up near the top in the rooms with the balcony. I would say the Nana. Whilst in a great location, it is getting a little tired.

I booked the Ramada Tawana (across the street from Patpong) through Asiarooms.com with no problems at all. They even sent an SMS to my phone to confirm the booking.

On arrival at the hotel, I was handed an envelope with my key and an official notice about guests. They allow guests in the room up to 1800 hours. After that time you are encouraged to meet guests in the lobby or at the bar and not in the room. Any guest after 1800 will have to leave an ID card and you can expect to be charged extra for a guest in the room.

Oh by the way, it is $57 per night and the rooms are great and so is breakfast.

Taz, I have stayed there in the past. they also asked for this. if in low season, and you are not arriving past 8.00 PM, you should be OK without guaranteeing the room. ask them, they will probably say yes.

I also have stayed with them during the month of February, where everything is fully booked, and I faxed them my CC details. Never had a prob.

They have different size rooms. Make sure you tell them you are a very big man, and need a larger size room.

Good luck

As a Bangers regular I would recommend the Manhattan - never had a problem with bringing a girl back.They also have a very nice Sauna and relief on the 2nd floor.You choose from a dozen or so girls and they are as accomodating as your needs.Prices for HJ start at 500 Thai Bat - short time 1000+

Most will happily oblige by visiting your room - saves having to go out and find one and face the walk of shame through the lobby!

Its located on Sukimvit 13 - -middle of all the action too.

Hi,

I'm looking for some advice, I will be in Bangkok in a few weeks and it looks as if I will be staying at the Majestic Grande Hotel. The problem is that quite a few people who work for the same company will also be there at the same time, I know of some who will be with wives & children, the company would not be happy with people getting involved with local nightlife.

So my question is this, how easy/difficult will it be to get from the street to my room (accompanied by a "friend") without meeting my co-workers?

Doughtful that I can change hotels but if I could is there a four or five star hotel nearby that where it is possible to avoid "the walk of shame"?

I know the questions are a little random but I will be grateful for any assistance.

Thank you

I used the Regency Park for years with no trouble at all. I always book a double room. It is tru that on most occasions I stayed there with my Thai girlfriend, who checked in with me.

But on a few occasions I brought back a chick and the night staff did not make any fuss about it. The lady registered her ID, and when she left the front desk called me to check that I was OK.

It would be a pity if this fine affordable hotel became girl-hostile.

I never made reservation in advance in Bangkok. This city has many hotel in off season. When you arrive go to a travel agency in Sillom and Sukhimvit area they can find you a hotel. You can get a better rate than the internet. Sometimes if you just go to the hotel directly, if they have room you can get a good rate, but in high season Dec to Feb is a bit tough.

more than 10 times. My average spending is about $ 60.00 USD a day. I stay

I think you are being slightly unfair regarding Majestic Suites, for sure the rooms are not large but the rates are half what you would pay at the new Majestic Grande. If I were in Bangkok for a few nights I would go for the more expensive option but I normally stay for 21+ nights. I spend very little time in my room anyway, I don't travel 6000 miles to watch the movie channel.

The bottom line is what are you willing to pay for a hotel. The 4-5 star hotels offer better accomadations and services, so if you can afford that go for that type of hotel. The vast majority of mongers are looking for a nice place for a decent price, so they don't usually don't want to pay more for something that will not enhance there trip that much. Just depends on the individual.

Despite CB's major back-pedaling on this issue, dozens of posts have attested to the efficiency of the MS, as most are not going to be staying in the room for most of the day. The service it top-notch.

Also, the MG rooms are shockingly small and expensive compared to the President Group hotels (really service apts.). Much better locations to food, etc. compared to MG. BTW, MG DOES have a pool
http://www.bangkok.com/majesticgrande/recreation.htm

It is also quite surprising for a major new hotel to NOT have cable internet. If you check it out compared to others, it's hard to see how this place books up. For example, you can get 2x the space for the same price at one of the President Group service apts.

You will get a hotel room at US$20-30(Ruamchitt Plaza or Ambassador or Dynasty Inn) and food between 10-15$/day, MacDs, Pizza co etc. Drinks 20-30$/day and women from 20-60$ per day. On an average 100$ a day you can have a ball of a time. Fo 5 days including your local transport etc 700$ should be fine. Tell wherelse you can get this kind of a treat?

Dear All,

Thanks for your suggestion but I am kind of confuse as to which among the hotels you fellow mongers mentioned are totally girl-friendly:

1) Which means no harssment on your extra partners
2) No extra charge for the night
3) With a safety precaution for you to record the ID of the girls you bring in)

Aside from those mentioned above, as I am on a business trip and won't. Like to let my business partner feels I am on a cheapy hotel but of coarse I don't. Want to spend much more than a usual 4 or 5 stars hotel (my rate is ranging between 2000 to 2500 bht per night), so please advise which among the below mentioned hotels will suite my needs:

1) JW MARRIOT
2) LAND MARK
3) MAJESTIC GRAND
4) OR OTHERS

As my trip is quite near and I hope I can get the informations as soon as possible. thanks again for your kind help.

Macho Dik,

The hotels you mentioned are all located in the Sukhumvit Area So I presume that you are looking for a hotel there for your convenience. I've listed the hotels that are all GF (inclusive of 1 & 2 but 3 may sometimes happen for some hotels, no guarantee but if there is any monger out there who has been to one that meets all 3 criteria, pls let our buddy know) in that area as follows:

Catergory I

Majestic Suites
Majestic Grande
Landmark Hotel
President Solitaire
Manhattan Hotel
Royal President
JW Marriot
Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit
Emporium Suites
President Park
Davis Bangkok Hotel

Category II

Nana Hotel
Grace Hotel
Star Inn Hotel
Centre Point Sukhumvit
Somerset Hotel
Dynasty Inn
Stable lodge
Drop Inn Bangkok

I have break them up in 2 categories. Cat I consists of more upscale hotels prices ranging well over your budget and cat II more into your budget but you must double check since I cannot possibly help you check every detail of the hotels as I am not a regular in that area too.

Irish Lad,

I always stay at the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit which is close to all the action, right on a subway and MTR crossing with direct lines to all parts of the city and with a fantastic pool and sauna area. Rooms are very luxurious and spaceous and they have 2 great restaurants as well as a very nice sitting lounge with live music in the evenings. Tip: always google the hotel name together with discount and you can find great deals on the rates.

Have fun,

Peter

I am needing a little advice about the Majestic Grande hotel as I will be staying there shortly.

From what I have seen many of the bar-girls and freelancers tend to wear skimpy / revealing clothes, so my question is will this cause a problem when I bring one back to the hotel?

I dont think so but it would be good to confirm the details of bringing in a guest.

Many thanks for you help

PradoDear Prado,

Thanks for your very informative data. I believed I should be staying nice this time. as in the past I always feel embarass on Hotel security and give you a strage looks when you are bringing in a Gal, specially when they are waering a bit too bar girl like attire. and that is why most of the time, I will ask my gal to wear something casual when I am bringing in to my hotel. like as before, my business assosciate have book me at the Emerald garden Hotel and I really felt very embarrased when the security has approached me at the elevator with other guest around. So I hope this time I will be using one of those hotel you mentioned.

In your Cat I, I thing those are 5 stars hotel, can you give me an idea on how much (more or less) will their rate be. anyway, this is in case you have an idea or else, I will ask my assosicate to do it for me, I believed they are one of the biggest group and probably they can get some special rate. but as I told you, i really don't. want them to have an impression that I am going to mixed business with pleassure, since the location is very sensitive for the mongering places. please advised. thanks again

Thanks to a lot of good advice, I am staying at the Majestic Grande.
It is on Sukhumvit Soi 2. If you go out the door and directly across the street through a small alley past the Ra Jah hotel, you are on Soi 4 and 100 meters from Nana.

The room is beautiful, the breakfast great, good bath, walk-in shower and large screen TV, along with a king bed. And, most important, guest friendly!

Picking the wrong hotel could be a disaster, as happened my friend in Dubai recently.

I look forward to it very much.

Anyway, skimpy clothes will not cause a problem at MG. You could walk in with three naked Katoeys and still have no problems.

Personally, I would stay at the Peninsula, you can stay there for the same price as the other, no problems with girls, lovely pool, great food and service, only problem is not near Eden, but you can get the sky trian with no problems, late at night theres very little traffic to get back to the hotel.

Enjoy

hi

i got in real late (after 1 a.m.) from my long trip and didnt want to spend the money on an expensive hotel as i was checking into some nicer accomodations the next day anyway. so i checked into hotel 27 on sukumvit soi 22. its more of a short time kind of a hotel, though you probably have alot of working girls living there. its about 300 b for the night. next morning a fairly attractive girl in her twenties strikes up conversation with me. eventually invites me into her room telling me sad story of how her cell phone was stollen and her dutch boyfriend will kill her if he calls and she is not there to answer the phone. she only needs 2000 baht she says. well i did not budge...but she starts getting affectionate with me and then she starts telling me all the kinky stuff she has done. shows me pics of she and her bf in holland. she is into [CodeWord101] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord101), anal, group, all kinds of stuff. one thing led to another and next thing you know it i am deep in her ass pounding away...when the cleaning lady comes in. well that killed it...so we went to her room and ended up picking up with some bbbj and some straights sex. she had a tight body with a shave pussy. not a bad looking girl at all. the sucker that i am - i took compassion on her and gave her the money. i guess she entertained me too much with her great stories. anyway - never know what you will find at hotle 27. its at the end of the alley of suk 22.

its a wery funny place hotel 27 its the cheap charly haven and its a wery good street kitchen at the end of alley

JW Marriott (BHT4840)

Macho Dik,

Sukhumvit Area is not that obvious, definately not as obvious as Ratchadapisek. If it is the area that you're referring to and not LOS itself.

Anyway, I can only provide you a link of the website I always use to book my hotels. The prices published are final i.e. inclusive of all SVC and Tax. So you can be assured how much your credit card's been charged.

http://www.bangkok-hotel-thailand.com/destinations/sukhumvit.htm

Amendment for Catergory I

Landmark Hotel
President Park

These 2 hotels/apartments are only 3 stars, not 4-5 stars. All the rest all start above BHT 3K. You can check it out on the above link provided. Happy mongering!

Irish lad,
No need to pay 200US$, save some cash for fun!
Normally I pay 150US$ at the Gran Sheraton and this hotel is more than perfect. (GF of course)
The Banyan tree is also 150 US$, but pretty remote (the restaurant on the roof top is great)
The advantage of the Gran Sheraton is the location as you are on Sukhumvit and if you are lazy , you can find nice higher class girls at Riva's which is the disco inside the Sheraton.

Very sorry, I have mistaken Irish lad with Marcho Dik. I thought it was a question posted by Macho Dik but it was Irish Lad instead when I look back to the posts. They all asking similar questions.
