Bad Duck, your price range is going to be a problem for anything really tall. Royal Orchid Sheraton has great views, but I think you won't get it for less than 3500 baht. I used to stay there with...

The bad news is, after your first Thailand trip, you'll be finding yourself trying to break away for minimum of 2 weeks at a time, with $1000+ airfare and 18-22 hour flights each way just to get back...

Well, YMMV as far as picking up non-pro staffers, but in all likelihood, you need to go to some venue such as Patpong to pick up your companion. There certainly are NOT any ladies who hang out at the...

Perhaps, but it's simply NOT. The ROS doesn't have the sort of amenities, nor the sort of concierge service, nor the general attitude toward individualized service of their clientele, to be a true 5*...

I had no problems bringing a couple of ladies back (1 at a time, taken from Star of Light) to the ROS. The fact is, there's pretty much nothing stopping you from taking your companion with you to the...

5 star is definitely pushing it with the Royal Orchid Sheraton. The rooms are nice and the pools are nice, but the general level of service, and all the tour groups coming in and out make the place a...

Did I mention that the staff there are obviously trained to be assholes?

The special category in which I place the Bangkok Mandarin Oriental would be 1* for having the most arrogant, elitist, obnoxious attitude behind their service of any hotel establishment on this...

I certainly agree that places like the Peninsula are at an even higher tier, but the fact is, places like the Sheraton Grande, Plaza Athenee and JW Marriott are distinctly more upscale than the...

There really are 2 distinct tiers of 5-stars in Asia. In my opinion, the JW is of the same class as the Sheraton Grande, Conrad, and the Plaza Athenee. That makes it a 5* to me. Now it's not in the...

Yep, best pool in the Sukhumvit area. If you wanted to be on the Riverside, the Royal Orchid Sheraton has 2 pools, one of which is moderate, and the other is large.

Well as long as they're doing if for the protection, safety, and security of every guest in the hotel, and not simply to gouge extra money out of their guests, that's OK (right, what a pile of...

plaza athenee is definitely gf. it's my favorite deluxe place when i want to be close to the action in the sukhumvit area, but not too close, if i am meeting associates and civilians whom i don't...

I've heard from several sources that the 5* is the Grand Millenium, which is well located a short stroll to Soi Cowboy and is GF and has generally good reviews in it's class

Yes, you're wrong. I've never been at a 5* hotel in BKK that was not girl-friendly. The problem is with many 3* and 4* hotels that do a lot of business with tour groups, not the 5* hotels - who...

When this situation occurs, I always ask the receptionista if they wish to make it a foursome.

Other good choices that cost a bit less, although not THAT close to Annies (more like a couple of blocks) are the Dynasty Grande and the Dawin. If you prefer upscale and have the budget for it, the...

That's a pretty good haul from most of the action. I'd look for something in the Soi 2-6 or Soi 17-21 areas. If you're on a tight budget and the Majestic Suites is not available, I thought that the...

A couple of comments on Barko's list of 5* places available at great rates on Wotif: First of all, I would say that, other than the Lebua, they are more typically 4-4.5 star places than true...

nowadays, i never go into either nep or cowboy, as neither place floats my boat. but i definitely prefer the freelancer venues in the vicinity of the jw marriott. but i would agree that there are...

Yes but only the JW Marriott is located exactly at ground zero - although another choice is the Landmark. Sheraton and Westin and Grand Millenium are also well located if the primary purpose is...

If it's inside your budget, you can't do better than the JW Marriott. They will treat each and every girl you bring back as though she is your wife for the time she is there with you.

For...

I'm here at the SilQ as I type this. IMHO, it's good value if booked on Agoda at around $48/nt plus $8 tax - excluding breakfast. Less so if booked on their site directly, as there, you will end...

I have stayed at the MS many times. I was looking for a change of pace, as far as location and I paid the same price for the SilQ (actually even less with my Agoda points discount applied), which, I...

I honestly don't know. I've never stayed there, but a few folks who's opinions I trust said that they liked it for value and location. I like the fact that it's GF, and I like the location near...
