Bangkok Hotels

[Syzygies]

Finally decided on The Landmark, thanks for all the input. What sold me on The Landmark was that it's basically across the street from Thermae and also close to the BJ Bars. I realized that I'm not much into the GoGo Bars so neither Cowboy nor Nana really interests me, and if I did want to venture to either, they're not far apart (however heads up to Syzgies, I'd like to PM you about Cowboy if that's ok) After Syzgies made me think about what it was I was looking for, I realized that what thrills me the most is picking up SW / FL's, Plus a nice place to stay, room service and American TV is definitely a plus. Will report on The Landmark.

You should post Questions on the forum rather than asking individuals by PM. PM is more for people that actually know each other (or come close to that), IMHO. I am not a big socialiser.

If you are Japanese(or similar) I could understand staying very close to the Thermae. Otherwise don't bother, IMHO.

Majestic Suites is a small basic Hotel very popular due to price and location. Yes not glamourous. You can be seen entering by the front desk. So what? That is not a problem. It is a Monger's Hotel, not a family Hotel. Anyway you obviously don't want it, seeking something more up market it seems.

Personally I prefer to waste money on girls more than expensive Hotels. However each to their own priorities. I used to stay in classy Hotels when they have a good price, like Column Hotel (a big favourite). Unfortunately they rarely have a special these days.

It is definitely not adventurous to stay in Terminal 21. Just get it straight what you are seeking actually. Personally I prefer to stay closer to Cowboy and to the MRT (underground) and to the major Massage shops area, as traffic in the below Soi 21 district is pretty jammed up and I rarely need to go down that area. If I want to go to Nana I use a motorbike for short distance or the BTS. Soi 4 is problematic for Taxis as they can't turn tight out of Soi 4 nor turn right into Soi 4. There are some tricks to overcome the limitations but I still prefer not to stay in Soi 4.

Can anyone recommend a good, clean, safe and cheap hotel close to BKK airport, arriving late and will probably take taxi to Pattaya next morning.

I started my evening a bit too early, around 6:15 at Soi Cowboy. I was denied entry into Crazy Horse, so sat on the patio of Lighthouse. It seemed quiet and I started getting bored. To kill time, I walked to Nana Plaza and went straight to Bangkok Bunnies. I loved the welcoming atmosphere at the club and decided to linger around until 9 pm. At this point, a very cute girl who's name she said was 'Ba' stopped by and asked for a lady drink. I bought her one with the intention of barfining her later. We were able to hold a conversation without getting bored and discussed her fee to go back to my hotel. She quoted 2500 B for an hour or 2 and 4000 B for overnight. I thought it was reasonable and told her I will come back after checking out the action inside the club.

That would be "Crazy House".

It is not normal protocol to discuss price for the night with a lady if you are not going to take her. Experienced mongers would probably not do that. Perhaps more applicable if you go shopping. Thais don't like it if people are asking the price when they don't want to buy. However I appreciate you wanted to see what prices you could get.

"Ba" means crazy (sometimes) LOL.

After seeing some of the responses, I think I need to be more adventurous and stay closer to Cowboy this time then. I was thinking Grand Centre Point T21, price is a little steep but hell I'm on vacation.

Curious though, Is it the price that makes Majestic Suites to hard to book? Looking at the pictures online, they're not all the glamourous, looks like the Lobby, Check-in Area and restaurant is all connected. Meaning to get to the elevators, I have to walk past the front desk every time??

No one can decide for you without knowing your priorities as selection criteria. Some people need a great pool. Some people need a superb bathroom with separate shower. Some people need soft beds (that is me). Some people need to be right on Nana Plaza (e. G. Nana Hotel) because they cannot walk 200 metres. Majestic Suites is the cheapest but hardest to get a booking. I last stayed there about 23 years ago. LOL That would have been before I ever heard of Nana Plaza.

Consider also Dynasty Grande and Dawin recently mentioned.

Once I went inside to see the performers on stage, I forgot about the patio girl Ba. After scoping out the talent, I chose No. 22 and bought her a LD. She was very friendly and easy to talk to, so I ended up barfining her. Enjoyed my time with her as she was very un-business like and friendly. Her name is Mai, she's 31, petite and I thought she was very attractive. She's a single mom but has no baby damage. I plan to see her again.

Saw a lot more pretty girls while leaving the plaza.

Soi Cowboy runs between Asoke (Soi 21) and Soi 23. If you exit Cowboy on Soi 23 and turn left, you will soon see massage places on the far side of the street. There are many to choose from and you would walk for 10 minutes to take them all in. I do not have a favorite but have enjoyed myself here. One reason I like Bangkok is there are so many choices beyond the obvious.

Ha ha yes. It is strange to think Someone would stay around Soi 4 for massage joints. If I would go for massage, Soi 4 is about the last place I would think of. LOL Well actually I don't even like massage! So I mean last place I would go to an MP looking for sex. Surely Soi 22 through to Thonglor is the hub for sex MPs. I have visited MPs in Soi 19 but not in Soi 23, despite having so many. Also have used MPs in Soi 33. There are just so many possibilities one cannot think to try so many of them unless they have stunning girls. LOL.

For Soi 4 beware that many MPs appear to be populated with lady boys in addition to real girls. Danger, Will Robinson!

I can't decide between the following hotels! Any Suggestions?

Background why I like Nana area is because I know there are massage places that offer FS on the Nana alley (Soi 4?) Is there anything like that at Soi Cowboy?

Thanks Natty, Matong, MG and DC for getting back to me. Having looked at all of the suggestions you've made I might consider staying in the Admiral as it has been reviewed here by several other punters. It looks closer to Soi Cowboi than Mermaid Hotel and Park Plaza Sukhumvit as well.

For some reason I do like to start my evening journeys in Crazy House and get warmed up. Afterwards I have a stroll through SC and continue to move on to NEP. MOst of the time I'm heading back after midnight to SC and end up in CH if I didn't found anything of my liking in between.

All Natty's suggestions were very good you can be sure. If ever Column has a good price deal, then I would take that every time. It is a super Hotel for rooftop bar, pool, and views over Bangkok if get a moderately high floor at least. Girls really like it too. Classy. Normal prices for Column are quite high. Not absolute closest to the bars but that matters so little. Can always take a taxi or motorbike. One of my favourite regular girls really loves the column Hotel and it's rooftop bar. She likes to dress show off in sexy fashion outfits. I thought was better than being on the top of the State Tower personally.

Mermaid was one of the best value for money Hotels when I tried it (when fairly newly opened). Alas Admiral Premier became too well known. Some Japanese guys live there all the time. Often used by Chinese bus tours, causing it to be fully booked or not having the prices as good as used to be. Was best a few years ago when was little known.

1. The Landmark.

2. Majestic Suites.

3. Majestic Grande.

As you can tell, I prefer to stick around Nana Plaza and the BJ Bars. I'm also open to suggestions to staying around Soi Cowboy but would need a really good comparison to Nana.

Majestic Suites * 1800 Baht approx. Possibly best value for money.

Majestic Grande * 2500 Baht approx.

Landmark * 4000+ Baht approx. Never stayed there.

You can see there is no comparsion. Last time I took Majestic Grande purely as it was about my price range and could get a booking.

Consider also Dynasty Grande and Dawin recently mentioned.

Check out Admiral Premiere (ADM & grand suites), Column (1br exec suite), Grand Mercure Asoke Residence (deluxe & exec suites), & Fraser Suites (superior (w/balcony) & deluxe suites). Agoda and whoever frequently offer very good deals on these hotels (large 1 bedroom suites) for under $85/ night before taxs and fees. It goes without saying that these hotels are GF and they never batted an eye when I escorted 2 or more girls up to my loom. They all have relatively nice swimming pools and offer a varying degree of good locations close to the night action. All these suite hotels have separate great rooms (living room/kitchen combos) & bedrooms, large bathtubs, washer/dryers, and refrigerator/freezers.

Wish I knew about the construction, that has potential to be annoying, Dawin right now for when I want to stay is about 4000 baht higher per night.

4000 baht higher PER night? Are you sure? Their most expensive room, the suite, is around 4000 baht per night.

Comes down to your requirements. I have not stayed at Dawin (note the name is not Darwin LOL). However never heard anything bad about it. Supposed to be good value for money. I expect Dynasty Grande is a bit higher standard overall (ignoring price).

Dynasty Grande is a good class Hotel with very good swimming pool, and bathrooms are very good. Separate shower stall. Decide your requirements and select accordingly. Years ago standard of Dynasty Grande restaurant food was poor other than at B/F however that is very old info. I just ate food elsewhere, no real problem. If need to sleep in daytime hours heed the construction site warnings.
