Bangkok Hotels

I have stayed at this hotel before and it is really nice. As I have status with Marriott, I tend to get treated well. Last time I was there, I was with a traveling companion, so we just checked in together. I have noticed that the Marriott on Soi 4 is now guest friendly. That was not true back in the day. I was wondering if anyone knows if the Soi 57 location in Thonglor is also guest friendly. Not the biggest deal in the world, as I am only staying two nights before heading down to Jomtien, but it would be good to know.

Planning to stay in Ambassador hotel for 2 nights.

Main reason for picking this hotel is the climax club.

I am landing around 2 AM. Are girls still around at 3-4 AM in the morning.

Booked the Ambassador for six nights last May; stayed one night and left. It's shit-hole! AC only blew room temp air and couldn't be lowered, there was no TP in the bathroom and the bathroom was full of mold. And that was an "upgraded" room on the 21st floor. Went on Hotels.com and switched to the Dynasty Grande, which was a good move, 100% better hotel.

Head down the passageway to Soi 11. There is one passage that is almost all massage shops. They will be open at that time. There will also be plenty of FLs on Soi 11.

Would definitely stay away from the Ambassador as it is run down. There are tons of hotels near Climax and there are many on Soi 11 itself. I love Soi 11. I've been thinking about The Grand Swiss for my next visit but I'll check out reviews before I book. The President Palace is being rebranded to a Mercure. I believe the hotel is still closed for renovations.

Wise decision. Ambassador is a bad choice. Grand Swiss is really good. I have stayed there several times. Just five minutes walk from Climax and two minutes fro Nana BTS.

Totally agree with Manfield. Ambassador is old and run down. If Climax is your thing (and this is coming from a card carrying fan of Climax), then I'd recommend one of the following:

- Aloft.

- Grand Swiss.

- Fraser Suites Sukhumvit.

You could even do the President Palace (better than Ambassador), or Citadines.

All of these are within 5 minutes walk of Climax. Fraser and Grand Swiss are the furthest, but Fraser in particular is very nice, and well worth the extra few minutes walking. I find that walk to be very positive. It helps build chemistry between you and the girl, and when she gets into the hotel she is ready to rock and roll. Only downside to Fraser is the distance to the BTS, but I usually jump on a motocy for 15 baht.

Ambassador Hotel is a little worn out. If you are looking for FLs near Nana Plaza, then I would suggest Phachara Suites or Dynasty Grande as I believe they are better hotels in that area.

Da Bed is in same Soi as Di Place. Di Place is a higher standard Hotel overall but this does not really apply to the very small short time rooms. I have not tried Da Bed.

It is well known that Nana Plaza has really shitty short time rooms inside. I do not use any more.

In Soi 7/1 there is Atlas with rooms of varying standard from good to excellent (refurbished). At cowboy there is Penny Black and Asoke Place. I prefer Asoke Place (cheaper), if you don't mind seeing most of the Asian customers with ladyboys on their arm. There may well be more ladyboys going in there than real women.

In Soi 33 there is Peep Inn. And in Sukumvit Soi 1/1 (officially) is PB Hotel (back Soi off Soi 3).

Some Hotels could be got quite cheap for whole night, e. G. Royal Express Soi 8 for 540 Baht, seen recently. Di Place, Atlas, and Ruamchit all have rooms for the whole night around the 1000 Baht mark I believe, however Atlas ST rooms are better than Di Place ST rooms.

Miami has rooms of varying prices depending what is available but not really recommended. Too old and run down.

Ruamchit Plaza may have ST rooms for 600 Baht (at times when available), however I would prefer to pay 350 at Atlas, not very far to walk from Thermae.

Near Pat Pong, I recommend The Strand for use ST Only. It's too noisy there to stay the night. There are some very cheap LT options in Sathorn district.

Most ST Hotels will have a special price if you want to stay a bit longer than the normal ST. Some ST Hotels are only giving you 60 mins. Another price for 2 hours, but have to weigh that against whole night prices nearby. I have requested 90 mins at Di Place but can't recall the price increase.

I have been taking a girl regularly for long bookings or sometimes overnight so have been using a very cheap normal Hotel for mongering convenience.

I slightly prefer ST rooms that have a window. At Atlas, can look out to the Sordid Soi Eden. LOL Other requirements are basic. Clean comfortable bed, aircon works and controllable, no stench, shower works.

Wow just wow. How do we flag things up as reports of distinction in this thread?

I am looking at staying at the Vie by Sofitel. Anyone know if they are guest friendly? I have emailed them but am yet to get a reply.

For my own experience it's GF, but the location might not be the best, depending on your mongering plans.

However, staying at Ruamchit may sway a girl's willingness to go with you and price (less time). They are always happy when I tell them I am staying upstairs or at a nice hotel nearby.

Eric, I'm no expert on this topic but do remember a suitable place deeper into Soi 4 from Nana. It is in the alleyway that is next to the American bar, The Tavern. The hotel is called the Bed. Not luxurious but not a dump.

Thanks Mate. I think this alleyway may just be the same one that girl dragged me into a while ago. Good to know at least one hotel there does short-time. I may have to go there myself and just ask.
