Bangkok Hotels

[Antex]

I'll be in BKK just one night in early December, arriving at the Poom as usual very late (likely well after midnight) and then off the next day to a different mongering destination (but from Don Muang on Air Asia) and was trying to narrow down my choice of hotel for the one night. Either Nana area (parking lot) for a late night grab, or Soi Cowboy area to grab some company. In the price range I am looking in (70 USD) and with free WiFi internet, I see either Citypoint down by Cowboy or On8 up near Nana (also Majestic Suites, which is mentioned below as getting dated but still OK). All within $10 of each other, all near to grazable late night action, all girl-friendly I am quite sure. Of these three, which would any of you that are familiar with them recommend as preferred? Considering arrival and departures (in hotel for probably less than 12 hours) is there a difference? Just need a place to drop luggage, shower, go grab some sweet thing, come back and do the deed, then maybe catch some shuteye before heading out back to the airport.

Or am I nuts, and should just stay near either the Poom or DMK, and see if I can find some talent for a quick shag there? (to minimize all this taxi travel between Sukhumvit and the airports).

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks

Why not try Ambassador on Soi 11. Then you don't have to go either to Cowboy or NEP.

Just go down in hotel garage to Climax nightclub. A lot of freelancers late night.

On 8 would work just fine for you. 10 minutes walking to Nana Parking Lot. 10 minutes walking back to hotel. Comfortable. Good value. 1 minute to Nana Sky Train.

I stayed in baileys suites twice when in Bangkok earlier this year. Its around soi 20/22. I was very pleased. Gracious staff. Nice decor. Rooftop pool. In a quiet street but with good eating options close. Around $50 a night. And of course close to soi cowboy and the Doctors blow job bar.

Nana Entertainment Plaza is not closed. The person who wrote that post is either a blithering idiot or has a strange sense of humor.

Yeah this is my first trip to Thailand so it sounded a bit bizarre they would close nana. But not being familiar with the scene I was not sure. I ve been to the Phils many times and love it there. Thailand seems so over processed. I'm starting to wish I had not already booked a flight. Might jump a flight to cebu or head to Cambodia.

Ight.

De-railing some one might be a fun for a little boy. He feels happy because he had proved his brain. Some peoples still carry a kid's brain all along his age.

These two hotels have been discussed ad nauseam in this thread. You can't be bothered to just read a few pages? Well, in late November Nana Plaza is closed for renovation. You need to look elswhere. I heard Soi 33 is the new place to go.

Now now Duni.

Not nice to give inaccurate info even for personal entertainment. Somebody new might actually believe it. Reality is Soi 33 IS in decline and NEP offers plenty of options.

Some people have no sense of humor.

Taken at face value it is impossible to tell if your information was accurate or inaccurate. Someone who knows Bangkok well, reads multiple sources or follows local developments would know your claim was wrong. Someone who has never been to Bangkok and only gets information from ISG might think, as our fellow member appeared to, that your report was true. Smilies are a good way to make it clear you are joking.

This is the first I have heard Nana Plaza being closed. That may alter my plans. They are closing the entire complex? If so I ll slide down to Soi 7 and look for a motel in that area.

Thanks every one for all the detailed info and pics on these two motels. This is the first I have heard Nana Plaza being closed. That may alter my plans. They are closing the entire complex? If so I ll slide down to Soi 7 and look for a motel in that area. I don't want any thing to do with the LB's. I enjoy sifting through the SW to find a hidden gem. Thanks again all.

Ah, the Majestic Suites. Stayed there in 99 during their soft opening and again in 00 before my place was ready to move into. Loved it. Got to be pretty good friends with the owners as well.

How's the place holding up?

I've not stayed there. As I mentioned, I checked it out for a friend. Generally, the property was nice and the staff was very friendly. It is at a very convenient location. The room I was shown was small but nicer than I expected. Sliding, solid screens covered the windows, completely blocking out the light. Double windows blocked all the street noise. The room I was shown over looked Sukhumvit and was on a floor level with the BTS track. I couldn't hear the trains when they zipped by, but I am slightly hard of hearing. I think there are a lot of other good options in the same price range. The small room was the biggest drawback in my opinion, but if you want a convenient location and only require a room big enough to walk around the bed and a good shower it would fit the bill.

Good summary of the property. In June I did a reconnaissance mission and took some photos for a friend. You do have access to the Majestic Grande's facilities.

Rooms (at Majestic Suites) in terms of size are OK (sufficient), but I found a weird smell in the room and in the corridors (perhaps disinfectant). Good reception staff and GF, but at night there are a few LB's hanging around just a few steps from the entrance to the hotel, so if you are picking FL's be careful unless you don't mind LB's. Majestic Suites does not have a pool, but I think you can use the pool at Majestic Grande even if you stay at MS (they have some arrangement).

They're both GF.

On reflection they wouldn't survive without being GF. Bit too close to the action to not be, for sure! .
