1. AirBnb is generally illegal in Thailand. Many of the condos have warning signs noting its illegal and folks should report it. As the last thing you ever want in Thailand is contact with any authority, AirBnb is a nogo. There are cases where its OK, but personally, I would just stick to a hotel.
2. The main "lowlife" farang mongering areas are found around Asoke, Nana and to a lesser extent Phrom Pong BTS stations as previously mentioned. And, in addition, there is an area near Silom BTS. BY "lowlife" I mean the street hookers and ladyboys wandering around, the general scruffiness of the area and the patrons, the touts, the rip offs, the beggars, the hanger ONS, the drug dealers, etc. And some of the Patrons.
3. Going Eastish on Sukhumvit like you were coming off the airport: Phrom Pong is generally massage parlours and some street hookers. It is very tourist oriented and has fancy malls. It is a less sleazy area than Nana and Asoke. But its very Japanese / Korean oriented so you do need to brush up on your Asian etiquette. Some girls may not speak English in favour of Japanese / Korean (I speak bad Japanese myself). I'm not a massage parlour guy as I prefer my women younger, better looking and cheaper so I rarely go to Phrom Pong. Some guys like massage parlours, read the massage parlour section for info on how it works, but do not pay attention to the stories about this girl being good and this good being bad because probably half is fantasy anyway. And do you want to spend hours trying to track down some girl named Porn because some dude in mommys basement says she is the best she ever had? The hotels are higher priced in this area. The food is spendy too, unless you know where you are going.
4. The BTS stations are about a klick apart. So if you AR at PP BTS, its a klick to Asoke. This is where Terminal 21 mall, Soi Cowboy and the falang / Arab areas start. There are nice hotels in this area, and sleazy ones. This is where Thermae is. Thermae is my hunting ground because I stay here in Bangkok, otherwise its a Asian sausage fest. I had a very pleasing event last night there. Other folks like Cowboy, which I consider a tourist trap. There are a couple of guys that live here (EhTombs or something like that) who know about the Cowboy scene, I myself don't go there unless I have a wierd whim.
5. The walk between Asoke and Nana is worth it. You got BJ bars, Thermae, the Beergarden, street girls, burkhas and finally Nana Plaza. The hotels in that area, absent the big chains, are generally overpriced *hitholes that are popular because they are cheap or "right near the action". Some are short time hotels too, like the Raumchitt and Miami. Some are totally Middle Eastern? Indian, that's up to you. Normally don't stay in that area and when I do, I try to stay in either one of the premium ones or at least on the even number side of the street OFF the main drag. The area is sleazy and disgusting, the street food horrendous and some of the girls frightful. There are some good eats in that area though. Guys will tell you how lovely the street girls are, I can tell you that last night at 10 pm, it was like a kennel club lineup out there. As to the gogos, everyone has their favourite, last night the girls in Anglewitch had more rolls than a deli. That was last night. The scrawny Mamasan in Rainbow whatever is a b. She might be gone tomorrow. #342 left for Roi Et. Etc. I actually bought a lady drink last night for an Instagram beauty.
With that all in mind if you want a specific hotel rec, tell us what you want to spend and how you want to have your fun. Thats all it is. Bangkok isn't a bargain anymore to have adult fun and it hasnt been a real bargain since the Asian invasion. So are you a cheap charlie? Do you need to be hooting and hollering. You know, you can go to the Interconty or the Grand Hyatt and stay in the lap of luxury and walk right downstairs and get you some quality Viet or elegant Thai and never need to see a Burkha or have someone try to sell you a fake Rolex, is that what you want to spend? Are you looking for LT, ST, bjs behind dumpsters, ladyboys, getting smashed in a GoGo bar where you can drop $200 on booze before ya know it? Can't make a rec without knowing that.
I find that Agoda is the best for Asia. I always have the room rate shown in baht and use a baht account (look into Transferwise) to book. In Bangkok itself, I personally won't even look at a hotel less than $100 a night, unless I have stayed in it before (I have stayed in a place down in Ekkamai that's cheap and wondeful). I wouldn't condisider the odd numbered side of Suk between Asoke and Nana except the Westin and Nana. Keep in mind that any hotel you choose in the main tourist areas is just 100 baht ride for you to the sleaze, you can go stay down in Ploenchit, Silom or SaphanTaksin too.

So you need to pick a starting location first. Some like to be staying not too far from Nana BTS (skytrain station), I usually prefer Asoke to Phrom Phong BTS stations region. Close to many Massage joints, Soi Cowboy bars, supermarket, skytrain, underground train also, etc.
Its possible prices can go up very close to the date, or rooms can be sold out. I book at least 1 day in advance so I am sure I have accommodation for at least tomorrow. In very old days we used to go from Hotel to Hotel looking for available rooms and checking prices. That was before internet. Ha ha.
Best to not book very far in advance unless your plans are very fixed and stabilised. Most of us want to keep options open, especially, if don't like a Hotel newly tried, to change to another one. Could be as simple as bed was too hard, or room too noisy.

Posts: 85Long time mongerer but never in Thailand.
I usually use airbnb in Europe and Latin America but I've heard that's not ideal in Thailand?
What are some good recommendations. I checked hotels.com and it looks like there is a ton of options and I can't really tell what's good and what isn't.
Do we need to buy ahead of time or is the price about the same day of?

Hi Natty,
What are you current favorite MPs and are there any ladies in particular you would recommend?
I like anal and CIM / COF. I like ladies who are gentle and submissive. PSE and GFE both work for me.
I have 2-3 regulars I try to meet every time I go to BKK. I am always looking for new regulars. A regular for me is a lady who gives me better or at least consistent service.
Take care!
/ Kirsia.

Posts: 3040The Hilton Sukhumvit
I stayed there in May for 5 nights. I received a discount rate on the room thanks to their internet offer to apply for their Amex Hilton Credit Card right before I was about to book. The main perks for signing up for the CC was getting a whole bunch of Hilton points for a subsequent stay and instant Gold member status. Since the CC has no annual fee I think it is a good deal even if you don't use it very often. Anyway, upon check in Hilton upgraded me to an Honors Floor (no difference in room) and threw in free buffet breakfasts for my stay. I also had Executive Lounge privileges, but I never availed myself of that. As to the Hilton Hotel itself: I thought it was a pretty nice major international chain hotel. The room was a good size and all it's appointments were in very good taste. The buffet breakfasts were very good. The location was fine for me as it is close to the oilies, two high end malls which are convenient for their gourmet grocery store and tasty food courts, and the BTS although I prefer motorcycle taxis unless I am going cross town. The only thing I think the hotel missed on was the size of its roof top pool; its on the small side for a major hotel and I prefer larger pools for more privacy, but the bottom line is I am booked back at the Hilton again for 4 more nights, free, all on Hilton points on my next big trip. So, it turns out that overall the Hilton Suk is a win win for me.
But the Hilton is not the only large international chain hotel that I will be staying at on my next 6 week visit to BKK. The Sukhumvit area has many hotels like the Hilton to choose from of similar quality and in the same price range more or less. I like to change hotels and locations every 6 or 7 days on average to mix things up and to not get too well known in any one place. Harry Haller, the Steppenwolf, is a personal hero of mine. 555.

Posts: 108This is good news!
I am have a trip planned in December. I am also a gold member. Do you know if they automatically upgrade you? Did you have access to the executive lounge?
I know Hilton Suk is strategically located with many MP within a stone throw away. I cannot wait till I get to BKK!

I won't do all the work for you, but it is possible.
Top Romantic hotels in Bangkok also covers having a spa tub.

I hope the BKK veterans would help me choose a new place sooner than soon. It's time to party again.
Cheers.

Posts: 3634. th visit to BKK, already tried several locations in the city, and I always end up in Nana. Probably caused by my filthy soul. 15 days ok to me, I could stay 15 years. Didn't know about The Thermae, so what I get is actually home delivery, or even better, they are already there! Thanks for all help. I will probably end up over fucking.
Pattaya is not for me. Maybe visit Hua Hin for a couple of days when in serious recovery mode.

Posts: 7Grande Center Point Terminal 21
Hi guys,
This is my tenth hotel that I have stayed in Bangkok and location wise, it is hands down the best for the purpose we are all here for. Although it is a bit expensive but usually offers good deals especially prepaid ones on booking.com and agoda. It is accessible to BTS and MRT and is across the street from Soi Cowboy. It also provides access to Terminal 21 mall which is one of the better shopping places. Also to confirm its 100 percent green. When you bring someone, the security guards discretely and very politely takes your "guest's" ID and gives it back when they are leaving. It is also five minutes walk to Thermae and ten minutes walk to Doki. Definitely worth trying.

Always good to be flexible till you know what you like. Just my opinion.
Search engine could find Ruamchit, I am sure. OYO108 is not very meaningful.

Most of the girls on the street right outside are not girls. Although that's important to know, they do not constitute a problem.
