Nana Hotel was extremely lad back in the past. I recall a LB getting in the lift to go up accompanied by a guest many years ago. I got turned off at the time, and did not want to stay there any more.
I once took 3 girls to my room at Admiral premier with no problems.
Of course I had a shortage of towels LOL.
You might want to tip the room cleaning staff to give you double the normal towels ration. LOL.

This might explain why your friend had walking issues. Often it is down to wrong shoes. And weight!
A good pace twenty minute walking on daily basis will burn some calories as long as you then don't overdo with eating: a diet is good as long as you help the body by burning some calories in a proactive way. If you just reduce the food or calories you will not achieve much as the body quickly adapts to live with less income to preserve current reserves.

Play it smart, don't parade too much, enter the lobby in a chatting way with the girls, head to the lifts, don't make too much noise to attract attention. There is a "security" in front of the lifts, but never bothers if you walk in like at home.
Keep your room key handy to show you are a guest.
You might want to check a ST hotel like an Hotel not far from soi 4.
Certainly Nana king beds can host a 4-some. And the rooms are not strictly tiny.
They have seen everything and most of staff seems to be there from day #1 if you look at them. So go imagine.

To me it's not worth paying good money and using valuable time to eat in a restaurant if the quality is not good. I don't eat at KFC, Maccas, Pizza Hut, etc. It's a waste of time. Pizza in Thailand Thai style is very bad. Fuji restaurant is Jap food for the Thais, but is not really quality I am used to. In my home country I only ever bothered to eat out in quality Japanese or French restaurants, or top class Chinese seafood, since most other places are a waste of time. Also my regular dinner partner was a chef, who was only interested in eating high quality also.
I like to cook my own food so that I can know there is no sugar in it. Yet I do eat Thai food on the street. Can't stand a very sweet Phat Thai though.
I have a low carbs diet so that means no rice, no nigiri, not much Maki, but Sashimi yes of course, tempura limited, and no sweet terriyaki sauce. Plenty of good things remain on the Japanese menu. My GF only eats raw Salmon for Sashimi no other types, but I like Tuna, octopus, and eel as well. We would never dream of doing "Omakase" meaning leave it up to the chef what to serve us. We have our favourite things.
Finding really good Japanese for a really good price has been difficult. There used to be a good one behind the Villa Markt in Soi 33/1. A below ground one in Soi Asoke is not bad, but very large and a lot of customers and a bit pricey. A very small one near the Admiral Premier is not bad but a long time since I went there. There used to be a great amazing fun Japanese restaurant between Soi 24/1 and Soi 26. Owner was Japanese with Thai wife. Was recommended by an MP girl and we had dinner there, good food and a blast. Unfortunately that restaurant changed owners, and my next experience there was crap.
High class Japanese in Emporium but pricey. So I am looking for a new budget Japanese restaurant still with exceptional quality. Ha ha!
I fussy with girls too. I want special quality for Looks, attitude, performance, everything. Value for money if possible would also be nice. LOL harder to do.
The other day I was tempted to eat at "Tuuk lae Dee" at Foodland Soi 5, very late. Previous time may have been 20 years ago. LOL What I got was very disappointing so I won't repeat. I made mistake of ordering farang food. Yes cheap but not good.
We have to face up to many overseas type cuisine places in Bangkok not being much good., but some good ones do exist. Even my Sports Pub serves pretty good quality food.

The place is very tiny, not that Japanese looking and I would go there only for lunch mostly due to the fact that I'm going to MP's during that time of the day. I think that for the price you pay there you can't expect too much. As for myself I'm more of a nigiri fan but I'm most definitely not a connoisseur. The maki attracted me and I wasn't disappointed.
If you're more into finer kind of dining then you might give Sushi Masato a go in the neighbourhood of Sukhumvit Soi 31. Rather hard to find as you can't tell it's a restaurant when you look at it. Was lucky that they had a spot left that night and the Omakase was excellent according to my taste. Problem is that you pay a price for it. Question is that it's worth it or not. I had quite a while ago a great salmon skin salad in Tenyuu Sushi Bar in the Emquartier shopping mall. Not sure it still exist though.
Remember that I'm giving some recommendations of Japanese food between Mermaid and Snow White only. I bet there must be other Japanese joints that are better. I'm happy to hear if that's the case.
Apologies to all that thought to read about hotels. I won't be doing it again. LOL.

Posts: 381New Hyatt Place
Off back to Bangkok in a couple of weeks for a visa run. I've booked into the new Hyatt Place on Suk 24. It's a bit of a way from Suk itself but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. Pricesd under 3,000 baht which is cheaper than the other Hyatts in town. Stayed at the Park Hyatt last trip, that place is really nice but pretty expensive.

If want to go to Snow White, it may be a little too far to walk (1.7km) from Column or AP, about the same. Mermaid is definitely a lot closer (only 1 km). I would take motorcycle from Column through back Sois since taxi would be slower than walking. Motorcycle would still take at least 10 mins I guess. Would walk if not too hot.
If you want cheaper value for money, then Mermaid is the go. If you want high class, then choose Column (at higher price), whether you need pool or breakfast or not. AP used to be great value for money but I suspect not so special any more. Does have a good refridgerator and mini kitchen though.
I have been looking for good priced quality Japanese since my old favourite closed so I will give Masu Maki a go. I hope they do not have crab / seafood stick. LOL I see on internet pics they do (but luckily on not many dishes). I want the "real" Japanese food. The artistry of the pics and "sweet" looking brown sauce splooged on the plates is a slight concern to me. Sauces should be separate (and optional). I trust it is full of Japanese customers but fun and not stodgy place? I probably have to request no sweet sauce put directly on the sushi or other dishes. Not into sweet sauces at all.

The only thing important for me is a spacious room with some nice interior and a bathtub is great addition. I don't bother about a hotel's pool (Never had a glimpse at Mermaid and Park Plaza pool), or their rooftop views nor am I interested in breakfast. I also had the feeling that Column was a tiny bit too far out. I'm not a big fan of taxi's or motorbikes and don't really use the BTS that often. Thinking about it; another plus for Admiral is that it's still not that far away from Phrom Pong in case I'm interested to try out one of the MP's. There are also some good joints to eat in between Asoke and the MP's. If somebody's into Japanese you should give Masu Maki & Sushi bar a try. Cheap but oh so tasty! You can find it in Soi Sukhumvit 39. A hidden gem if you ask me. That brings me to the point that Jackson should have a sub-folder in General Reports - "Where to eat before and / or after sex with / without your bird" .
Having stayed in both Park Plaza and Mermaid I'm pretty sure that if I would pick Admiral I won't be disappointed.
