Bangkok Hotels

[Member #2041]

For quick reference, on Soi 16 the Citadines Bangkok Sukhumvit 16 is right next door to the Ma Du Zi, but it's not my style. Some guys really like it though, it's cheap and for them it's good. For me, all I wanted to do is bang and get out of there pronto. Hell, I can do that with a ST hotel, no thanks. I like to linger and goof around and tease the girls and get them to do things that they wouldn't normally do. Heh.

Then there is the Column Bangkok, it's right next door to the Citadines and has a two night minimum deal right now with a free upgrade to one bedroom for 3000 Baht, (includes a "Long Table restaurant" menu breakfast and, yes, the one bedroom is huge, 2 TVs, big-ass kitchen, and an unparalleled view.)

Column is GF, but if you're shy, the walk of shame is not very cool.

(The "receptionista" are very cute, very sexy, and very condescending when they see you suddenly appear then parade directly in front of them with two or three barfine poo-yings on your arm.) Naughty giggling and high heels clickity-clicking back to the lifts are a dead airspace calamity here. Man up & don't be shy, smile, it's Bangkok (and you are having the time of your life!)

More later.

Best,

B.

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

Called Ma Du Zi just to see if there wasn't some sort of SNAFU. Yes, there was. They had gotten so many hits and room requests that they had to shut the "Mystery" deal down completely until Wotif could reset the server to reflect booked rooms.

Secret deal is back up again, but it is booked solid until the 25th May, after that the rate goes up. They aren't stupid.

Rooms at their normal rates there are still available, but questionable IMHO. Not sure the place is worth 4200 Baht/night for my kind of messing around on the weekends. The big bubbly jacuzzi in the bathroom is nice, the accouterments are very tastefully done, the Internet is certainly fast enough (I'm picky,) the place is privacy oriented, and the xlnt 24 hour Foodland restaurant counter "Took Lae Dee" is right around the corner.

Things could be a lot worse. We all know how hard to find a place that hits on all eight cylinders don't we? If you want it all, you have to pay. Admittedly it is a bit pricey, but I am here to tell you that the Thai babies do love it a lot. And I like the place better than the Sheraton Grande (except for the buffet breakfast) the Marriotts, the Westin Grande, or the Millennium Grande. All in the same area.

I noticed that last night it had gone bye-bye. I was ready to make a booking. I kept on flipping back N forth from your original post on this place to WOTIF figuring I messed up. Never got to try it. Too high now for my taste now.

Keep on posting. You've certainly helped me (G/M to note as one)

Ma Du Zi Wotif secret deal cancelled:

Friday afternoon I took two Mango massage girls to my nice little Ma Du Zi suite. Outstanding session. Then, Saturday night, I took two very horny Tilac (Soi Cowboy) babies back to the room LT, they discretely left at 6 am. Massive hangover Sunday, didn't do anything or go anywhere. Then Monday, as I was checking out, the (all female) reception staff complained in Thai of too many "playboys" in the hotel now.

I get back to the BKK condo, go to make a booking at the Ma Du Zi again for the next weekend, and lo and behold, out of the blue, the secret deal is gone, history, poof-dee, hasta la bye bye.

I guess more than a few of you took advantage of the outed cheap price and location, but dammit, there goes my sweet deal down the toilet.

Hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did, but crap, now where? Heh.

Great deal that was.

The situation in Bangkok is great (for those wanting nice hotels at nice cheap prices), so many great hotel deals on offer !!

Again I strongly recommend using

http://www.wotif.com/

Go for hotels between Soi 4 to Soi 19 (the main Sukhumvit strip).

Lots of places you can get well below 1500 baht a night for a very good room.

Citadines Sukhumvit Soi 8 = 1500 baht

Omni Sukhumvit Soi 4 = 1399 baht (inc breakfast)

Two 4-star hotels under the "Mystery Hotel" special, both under 1500 baht a night.

City Lodge Sukhimvit Soi 19 = 1399 baht

Salil Hotel Sukhumvit Soi 8 = 1250 baht

Loads of offers out there, nobody owes you anything, just get the best deals for the best hotels and enjoy your time !!!

Guys,

Thanks for all the support.

The situation is really bad at the moment, we hardly get any reservation for the low season right now. Occupation is 30 % and below.

I still have problems to encourage people to come to Bangkok - the political situation has to stabilize first. I am not so worried about the demonstration, but about the bomb / grenade attacks - Friday night again, last night on a bank in Rachadapisek ... this is unpredictable, and it happens too often right now.

To those who still plan to come to Bangkok - the hotel is still open, we appreciate you coming here - and we will offer a special ISG discount for the summer month soon. For the time being just contact us, and we will find individual solutions.

Well. The way I figure it, Giotto's done a lot for us guys on ISG. And continue to do so. It's quite unfortunate that the tourist situation is what it is in Thailand right now. Which prompts me to TRY to help out a bit.

And if you think about it.if LL goes down the tubes, it WILL be a big loss for us all on ISG; what. Only have those clown from the Pithouse hotel in Patts to rely on for things in Thailand?

Giotto have always been helpful to all visitors. Whether newbies or oldies. And Livingstone's Lodge is just about the only "safe haven" I know in Bangkok where a monger. Especially newbies. Can retreat to. Safe in the knowledge that there ain't going to be the usual schemes and shenanigans that routinely happen at a lot of venues in Thailand.

So I say, Yes guys. Time to pay back Giotto's contributions and rally around LL. We've only got ourselves to blame if anything happens to LL.

Just IMHO

Hi fellows on ISG,

I worte this quote that time, because I feelt that it makes sense to support him.! I never stayed there before and I have NO relationship to LL. I like BKK, and normaly I stay in design hotels with 5*. But this time I will tryto stay at LL.

Thanks for all your help the last jears.

Hey Giotto....You'd better take care of this fella!!

Hey SEAJ! You are really good at this guerrilla marketing stuff. Keep it up.
LOL!

From wikipedia:

"The concept of guerrilla marketing was invented as an unconventional system of promotions that relies on time, energy and imagination rather than a big marketing budget. Typically, guerrilla marketing campaigns are unexpected and unconventional; potentially interactive; and consumers are targeted in unexpected places.

The objective of guerrilla marketing is to create a unique, engaging and thought-provoking concept to generate buzz, and consequently turn viral. The term was coined and defined by Jay Conrad Levinson in his book Guerrilla Marketing. The term has since entered the popular vocabulary and marketing textbooks.

Guerrilla marketing involves unusual approaches such as intercept encounters in public places, street giveaways of products, PR stunts, any unconventional marketing intended to get maximum results from minimal resources. More innovative approaches to Guerrilla marketing now utilize cutting edge mobile digital technologies to really engage the consumer and create a memorable brand experience."

Hey Giotto -

WOW!!! Did you read this??

Hi,

I am a long time user of this forum, and I enjoy the forum a lot. I think in this times we need to support all the havy supporter of this forum. I will be in BKK in mid may, and as I can read it is not easy right now for the livingstone's lodge. So yes there are a lot lot lot of hotel in BKK, but I will support giottos efforts by bokking there right now.

Yes we all can get good deals this time in other placec, but noeone from these hotels has ever realy supportet the forum like he did. So maybe its the right time to book there.

I have nothing to do with the lodge, and I don't get mony for this, I just had the feeling to write what I am thinking.

And mybe, there will be a nice crouwd in the lodge in mid may and we all have a lot of fun in the sports bar.

So happy hunting to all of you.

Will

Has anyone experienced if SilQ hotel (Asoke) and/or Imperial Queens Park (Suk 22) are girl friendly addresses?

Thanks

IQP is definitely GF.

[ImaRonin]

Hi,

I am still searching for a cool place to stay in BKK.

I liked the Grand Millennium Sukhumvit Bangkok hotel. Great location (Soi Cowboy and light rail station), good food, nice service, newer hotel, very well kept and the rooms are very nice and comfortable. There are deals available on-line if you shop around. Personally, I just reserved directly with the hotel. Hotel is girl-friendly.

[Giotto]

Hey Giotto!!!

Look-it at the folowing!!
Sliding standards at LL?
All the recent trurmoil causing turmoil at LL too?

Just wanted to point this out - since biz must NOT be that easy to do in Bangkok these days.

Peace and out

SEAJ

SE Asia Joe,

LOL - no idea, we don't get too many reservations at the moment... may be all the reservation process does not work any more .

No, I just checked it - entered a faked reservation and checked whether the E-Mail is received here - it works fine. Potential customers should get an answer...

Anyway - if this happens to somebody out there don't hesitate to send a PM to me. I will check - for sure!
