Bangkok Hotels

Never stayed at either as I prefer higher end hotels but they're in neighborhoods I frequent often.

Are there any hotels that are near the higher end soapies like poseidon or colonize? I swear I saw a few being advertised once on some popular blogs by being in their vicinity and it wasn't near Nana Plaza or Soi Cowboy. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Jasmine City has my vote. Stayed there several times, rooms are quite large, some with full sized kitchens even if you want. No issues with girls, they'll either call up if outcall, or in the case of taking someone with you, they'll scan the girl's ID.

I'd check prices across different sites and even their own sites, since prices vary, but usually, $60-70 a night seems to be what I see for their most basic room (gets cheaper with longer stays).

I appreciate the first hand account of your experience at the Jasmine City. I hope it will be available when I get my air confirmed. Thanks again!

After having enough of Soi 11, I am looking at Jasmine City on Soi 23 and Emporium Suites on Soi 24. Has anyone stayed at either of these hotels and what are the comments and recommendations of either hotel? Thanks for any comments you may have.

Stayed there last Feb for 5 nights in a suite, great room, overall fantastic place to stay (I normally stay in the adelphi suites but it was my 60th birthday and retirement) however when I tried to take some one back from nana but they said it was too far, even for long time. I did see several thai / european couples at the hotel but no idea how they were related.

You also have to pass the concierge desk as you enter.

Taxi's were easy to get, only real issue was access to skytrain using the hotels ferry, it goes every half hour most of the day upto about midnight.

Sure, here's the friendly English translation:

There are many beautiful hotels along the river, but if you're a looking for nightlife fun that's the absolute wrong area to stay in. It's too far away from the nightlife zones. Go-go girls prefer short-time appointments, so they prefer to go to a short-time hotel near Nana or Cowboy. This way they can get back to work immediately after. Some even asked for an extra 500 baht if they had to go to my hotel. If you really want to stay in that hotel, you'll have to be willing to pay for their taxi ride back, but I doubt any go-go girl would agree to come all the way there. Even if you use escort agencies they'll ask for an extra charge for the taxi in that area.

I have been in Okura Prestige many times, it's one of my favourite hotel in Bkk. I took a lot of girls in my room, from escorts agency or from gogobars, I have never had a problem, the girls have to register with the lobby. In case you use an escort agency the lobby will call you in your room asking if you want she come up.

Many thanks for the confirmation. Much appreciated.

Upcoming return (missed the Land of Smiles so much over the past 6 months in dreary Europe though Dubai is still amazing).

Contemplating a week in BKK before returning south. Usually stay at Sheraton or Grande Centre Point 21 on Sukhumvit but fancy a change. The cantilever pool at Okura Prestige is a must, and I like the look of Chatrium Riverside for a change of scenery. Both websites say green / joiner friendly but wondered if any senior members here have stayed at either and can advise. Many thanks.

HI very clean room us a bit small close to BTS.

Lots of restaurants in the area.

About a 15 min walk to Patpong.

As mentioned, despite BeachDrone raising a word of caution, I tried the Novotel Ploenchit as it was convenient for business (especially the immediate access to the BTS was a huge plus) and the fact that the address would not raise any awkward concerns. While I also enjoy the pleasures of the various massage options in BKK, I am also a great fan of having a charming beauty join me in the room for some adult action.

I would answer the question on "girl friendliness" at this property as follows: Every night (and even once in the late afternoon), I had absolutely no issue (and no questions asked) about my joiners. Having said that, it is true that you have to pass very close by the reception and basically at any pint in time the lobby seems quite packed, so it is not for the faint hearted. It is a true walk of shame (or pride as the case may be &#128514 to get to the elevators. My tactic was simply not to look at anyone and briskly walk (holding the girl by the hand) towards the elevator. At least for me this turned out to be a workable solution.

Thank you BeachDrone, useful heads-up.

The location is what drew me to this hotel, BTS in front of the door (excellent to get to my business meetings) and Nana Plaza a few minutes walk.

Guess I will then have to do the "walk of shame" as I do like having some action in the room. Will report how it went and if I would do it again.

Very helpful thanks. How odd they wouldn't go there (even LT) - I took a girl from Therme to the airport hotel last year. Only ST but then I did offer to pay her cab back to Sukhumvit. Location on the river appeals for a change.

Booked my stay at Stable Lodge.

Anyone stayed here before? I like the feel of laid back calm atmosphere.

I have stayed at the Novotel Ploenchit many times. Good location, and easy to get to. Airport Rail Link to Phaya-Thai stop, then the BTS from Phaya-Thai to Ploen Chit. I prefer the experience at massage parlors, so I have never barfined a lady and taken her or a freelancer to my room. I have a feeling that Novotel Ploenchit is not very guest-friendly. From the front door, you have to pass the front desk very closely, and they seem to know and greet everyone. For my purposes, the hotel is very good (and an excellent breakfast buffet), but for those who prefer fun in their hotel room, probably not so much.
