Bangkok Hotels

[Stykler]

There should be a special section of the plane for the families with children. They jump around, they scream, etc. Kick the back of the seat in front (and the parents do little about it). However it is the extreme arrogance of some of the adults that irritates me most. The children can't be blamed so much.

I'm with you Syzygies on this one. There should be a special place in hell reserved for inconsiderate fuckers who allow their kids to run riot in planes and airport lounges, totally oblivious to the impact of the behavior of their little darlings on others.

Some people view the plane and airport experience as an adventure, which gives them the right to let their kids do whatever they like unchecked. Not sure if you are familiar with traveling in India, but fuck me dead if ever there was a nationality that needed to learn how to exercise some control on their children it's Indians.

Had full sex with a girl from SPA at Novotel Bangna a couple of years go, but it I wouldn't call it a 4/5 star hotel.

Still most "better" hotel might have for sure a policy that staff who have sex with guests will get fired. That's why I think most girls will be reluctant to give such advanced services.

Agree. However, I am sure the therapists would be sure of not discussing such stuff with anyone else among the hotel staff. This would be a strict code of conduct between the guest and the therapist.

As an example, I was staying at a 5 star in Jakarta for a month. Every weekend I took a massage in my hotel room itself using the hotel's in room massage service (4 massages in total spread across 3 therapists). While one of the therapists gave me an HJ without me asking for it (as if it was an extension of a regular massage), and was surprised when I tipped her (and hence I repeated her again before leaving), the other 2 were more upfront in asking what I wanted and while they themselves offered the service, they were quite insistent on that I do not tell about this to anyone, including other therapists. One of them agreed for a B2 B if I booked a 90 min slot (saying she needed enough time to clean up and dry herself to avoid any suspicion from management); however, did not get a chance to repeat her. Moreover, did not want to sound an alarm with the spa manager by requesting specific therapists again and again.

Anyways, coming back to the topic, it would be a gold mine if I can get a Thai / Viet girl in a 4/5 star hotel at their hotel spa, even if its not FS.

Hi all,

Would like to check if Doubletree Hilton sukhumvit is girl friendly? Thanks.

Not sure if the response comes too late. But it is GF hotel, given you do not end up with a girl that looks like a road-side pro when you walk down the lobby.

Anyone had any experience in Bangkok / Thailand?

Do any of the good hotels in Bangkok have spas where therapists give extras (May be not FS but at least HJ)? On my trio to some other countries in SE Asia like Indonesia and Vietnam, I had therapists in 5 star hotels offering such services. It's a different feeling to get such offerings in 5 star as the ladies are slightly more upclass if not more beautiful than options available outside. Anyone had any experience in Bangkok / Thailand?

Strangely, I have rarely had a problem of being seated next to someone that is really obese, and rarely right next to a very stinky person (sometimes get one fairly close by). Can't work out why that is.

I notice certain cultures lack consideration for others. Simple things like leaning heavily on the back of your seat. Crashing heavily into you while going past, while you try to sleep maybe. Insisting to have their elbows in my seat space, etc. Standing with a drink (potentially spilled) right next to where you are seated for long periods. Standing on my feet if I am seated in the front row. Etc. Even older Germans lack consideration for other passengers. They are not taught to look where they are going, since childhood. Just an example. It is generally known that Americans are more polite than most cultures (I am not American).

Many cultures lack "Greng Jai" the concern for disturbing and imposing on others. Cigar smokers in bars don't care how it affects other customers. I can't sit near anyone with bad be. O. Or Cigar smokers.

Even a good percentage of Thais know this word very well but still lack the feeling of "Greng Jai".

I must admit I don't have that many problems with kids on planes annoying me. Adults are a different matter. I usually find that Asians have few considerations for others and that is evident from the time you queue at the airport for luggage screening as they seem to think that they must push and invade personnel space with scant regard for anyone else, sitting in any seat that suits them on the plane, standing to alight the plane when it is still taxiing and my pet hate the violent reclining of the chair in front even if on a short flight. I have become a cranky old bastard and I don't tolerate this any more and I find the best remedy is to confront as most Asians find it embarrassing if they are called on their poor behaviour and will usually conform.

On reflection I'll look into it for you.

On reflection LOL.

Thanks NewImage.

There should be child-free airplanes, just like there are child-free restaurants and hotels. Or they should at least keep out all children below the age of 4 because they are usually the worst. Even good parents are not able to control these young kids on long haul flights most of the time.

True, if the children are left unsupervised by negligent parents. False, if the children are properly supervised. I have spent enough time in hotel swimming pools to notice the difference in behaviors as well as take note of the nationalities involved. My findings are all nationalities have some examples of the guilty parties and bad parentage, but the Arab & Chinese families appear to be the main perpetrators. This is not a statistical study, just my observations over the years.

Perhaps I did not describe the situation at the Fraser well enough for you. The weekend Muslim kids were screaming, running around and continually bumping into my lounge chair before I was forced to speak up and act as the disciplinarian. They were throwing decorative rocks into the swimming pool. A destructive behavior.

I experienced the same thing during my stay. I loved the hotel but it was impossible to relax by the pool.

Yes, and don't forget airplanes. I hate it when the rugrats relentlessly kick the back of my seat and shrill incessantly. Poor parenting. Confrontation required.

Gross Generalization. Sorry my experience reinforces NB view. I have seen many an instance of Arab, Chinese and Sub continent people and / or children displaying behaviour that would be considered rude and lacking regard for others.
I am constantly amazed how esp parents of these groups stand by and let their kids yell, scream, hit and generally run amuck in a public place oblivious to the rights of others.
Now I know how most Caucasians would respond to their children displaying this behaviour. Embarrassment and a scolding. But how do you respond " because you had a hangover?
Go on call me a racist or something like that. And then go read the section in the Quranic Verses on child upbringing.
And you wonder why you are so quick to rationalize NB comments and be so defensive by making sweeping generalizations. As Jack said " You want the truth. We all know the rest.

This is funny. My observations over the years are quite the opposite. My experience is that coloured children (Arab, Asian, African) behave better, and quite often even much better, than white children.
But I admit this is just a sweeping generalization and not a statistical study.

Have you ever been in Holland (my country)? Dutch children in public places are awful most of the time, no matter if they are supervised or not. That doesn't make much difference because they simply ignore their parents.

No, indeed you didn't describe the situation at the Fraser well enough for me. I understand now where you're coming from and, even though I have quite a lot of patience with children in a playground environment like a swimming pool, I would have drawn the line there too.

Mr. Natty Bumpo. Please pick up a white courtesy phone for a message. And while you're at it, clean out your in box.

Bunky.

Bunky, what's up? You can PM now.

Are there any overnight hotels in Bangkok with mirrors and maybe stripper poles in the room? Being surrounded by mirrors would be ideal.
Thanks.

I know children can be a PITA sometimes but geez mate, they are in a swimming pool. What do you expect? Let them play.
Or could you not stand the splashing and yelling because you had a hangover?

And almost all children behave like that in a swimming pool. Not just muslim children.
