Bangkok Hotels

[Xsjoe]

I'll stay next June for just one night in Bangkok (first time in thailand) at Shangri La before visiting north of the country.
What would be the easiest solution not to spend the night alone knowing that I don't want to choose from an escort agency and that I don't like them too young (I prefer 35+) ?
Any disco in the Shangri La or any pick up place not too far ?

Thanks for your advice bros.

I am looking for a NEW hotel near any BTS or MRT station (the central location is not a prerequisite) with high availability any time (I want to check in early in the morning without reservation).

Desired rate: about 1500B/per night(double occupancy).

Can you suggest any?

I already posted this link to Philippines Angeles City thread. I have found this excellent starting point locating hotels and other POIs:

Hi,

did anybody try the Grand Sukhumvit Hotel Bangkok (previously Sofitel), located at soi 6, and could tell about his experience.
Looks like quite a nice place with good offers.

Barko - since you were the one to recommend - perhaps you could answer...
Did your friend from Canada have to pay a joiner fee?

I'm attaching a quote from a report several weeks ago. I copied it for reference because I was considering staying there. But this response from the hotel manager helped me decide not to stay there.

Sawasdee Kha Khun Zauberfee,
...
For joiner fees, we will charge 1,000 THB/Person/Night or you can book as double occupancy but that joiner have to come to check in/check out with you.
We will copy her ID Card for your personal security as well. For late check out, we appreciated offer you untill 14.00THB with no charge / 14.00-16.00 half day charge.
Should any clairification please feel free to contact me via this email.

Just an aside: FurmaXclusive Asoke has good sized new boutique rooms with 32" LCD TV, DVD player, & sound system, a fantastic free breakfast, nice pool, free Internet, and practically right on the MRT and BTS. (3min max) I booked a friend from BC Canada there this last weekend using 'Wotif', three nights, 1499 Baht/night, he was a very very happy boy. (Totally blown away at such a great deal, and the location.)

Location: you have Soi Cowboy diag across the street, the Luxury and Exclusive MPs right behind you on Soi 19, and the Tops Market is right there too. The MRT escalators are 1 min from the hotel. Quality is better than Majestic, and WAY better than any of the Citadines, IMHO.

Word to the wise: Make sure when you do the booking, that you are making it for TWO PERSONS in the room each night.

I just booked this place for a few nites (thanks Barko for the tip!).

But see from earlier posts that they may charge a joiner fee?

I did book for 2 Persons - as suggested. Can anyone who has stayed here lately gives us a heads up?

At night about a dozen girls in a goldfish bowls setup.

Standard massage your room (and you can neg. Xtras)

Or Oil massage in a room on the 3 rd floor (massage table) I guess they don't want oil over the bed donnas)

First girl I booked only offer HJ and kept her clothes on. But Phon # 58 was up for FS. I booked her for 2 hours and after a leisurely massage we spent the second hour sucking and fucking. She loves DATY and cum with some vigorous fingering. She rode me for 20 mins and I came with my fav doggie She'd be late 30's and would have been a fire cracker in her teen.

Data from STR Global, a leading provider of market information to the global hotel industry, highlights the plight of local markets in Thailand and puts the effect of the country’s recent political disruption into a regional context.

The ongoing political unrest in Bangkok has severely affected the country's hospitality industry, which already has to deal with worsening global economic conditions, and now concerns of a possible swine flu pandemic.

Over the five months from November 2008 to March 2009, the four Thai markets tracked by STR Global have reported monthly declines of more than 30% in revenue per available room (RevPAR) against the comparable period the previous year.

The falls in RevPAR were driven by declining occupancy levels that were not matched by similar declines in average room rates.

"It is reassuring to see that average room rates declined significantly less than occupancy, and RevPAR should be able to start improving as soon as occupancy and travel demand recovers,” said Singapore-based Jonas Ogren, area director Asia for STR Global.

5-month performance of selected Thai markets (November 08 to March 09) and percentage change to prior timeframe:

City Occupancy ADR THB RevPAR THB occupancy % change ADR % change RevPAR % change
Bangkok 52.7% 3564.8 1879.2 -31.6% -3.7% -34.1%
Chiang Mai 43% 3755 1616.3 -31.9% -11.9% -40%
Hua Hin 57.4% 5174.8 2968.2 -27% -9% -33.6%
Phuket 60.8% 5327.6 3236.9 -24.8% -10.9% -33%
Source: STR Global

The recent protests in April 2009, combined with the airport closures in 2008 as well as foreign governments’ travel advisories have made visitors much more wary of the destination.

The market reaction has been swift. Demand in Bangkok in the middle of April has rapidly fallen by more than half of that of the previous year, down to as little as 33% on certain days.

Despite such low occupancies, hoteliers are holding their rates as best they can with year on year declines of 4% and an average rate of THB 3,323 for the first three weeks of April.

It is time we mongerers get good rates!
