Bangkok Hotels

[HummingBird979]

Wanted a bit of an upscale / week stay for a week while still being closer to the scene of action. Can anyone recommend how is Aira hotel? Are they guest friendly?

Staybridge on Soi 24 is actually the second branch of Staybridge in Bangkok. I've been staying at the first one one Thonglor, open since 2019, everytime I've been in BKK, including a few months during the pandemic. For the one in Thonglor, there is no joiner fee and staff haven't given me trouble over guests. I don't expect Soi 24's policy to be any different.

Thank you.

I have stayed at the Four Points Sukhumvit on Soi 15, a good value for money to me. Few steps from Thermae Cafe and at mid distance between Soy Cowboy and Nana Plaza. No questions asked if you bring a "friend" in the room.

I did not take the room with breakfast options because I prefer to test the local food and do brunches when in holiday.

I would go back there again next time I will travel to Bangkok.

I like the hotel for a couple of other reasons:

There's a gate on the Terminal 21 side where you can go straight to the elevators.

I think the breakfast buffet is great--it has Thai, Chinese and Western food.

I would prefer to not bring girls back to my room due to security concerns and cleanliness (since airbnb no daily cleaning). Plus the listing says no outside guests.

Your mind set will change about girls to your room when you arrive. Meeting a girl at Thermae and renting an hour room at Ruamchit gets highly inconvenient after a couple of times. Most guys have sex in massage places out of convenience not for comfort or cleanliness.

So here's my tip if you need it. Most condos have cleaning services that you can book for the next day. My condo had about 5 girls come over and make my 60+ sqm condo spotless in less than an hour. Total cost 300 baht. I'm sure a quick clean up of your room may cost you 100 baht. Make sure your AirBNB provides you with extra bedsheets etc.

Stayed here for my last few days in Thailand. Really nice hotel in a great location. Price is a little higher than I like but I used my Amx point for this trip. I think this hotel usually goes for about $110.00 usd. A night. Location is across the street from Terminal 21. From the lobby you can access the skytrain and Terminal 21 without ever getting wet if it rains. Short walk to Soi Cowboy, bars on Soi 11, Thermaes and you can either walk or skytrain to Nana and many massage places. It is girl friendly but they ask that you register your guest at the lobby. You could probably by pass this if you enter on street lever and elevator up to your room floor. Not sure how they would monitor this. I had no problem with registering my guest. The rooms are nice and spacious but must pay extra if you want breakfast. With all the eating places around, I opted out of breakfast. The one con is that even though I would put the clean my room sign on at 10:00, I would get back around 14:00 and the room still wasn't clean. They usually came around 15:30. I guess good for those that like to sleep in. If the price comes down under $100 usd I would most definately come back and stay here.

Hi guys. First time to Bangkok soon and I will be there for 25 days. I got an airbnb in a nice apartment building 6-7 minute walk from nana station. In general I would prefer to not bring girls back to my room due to security concerns and cleanliness (since airbnb no daily cleaning). Plus the listing says no outside guests.

So my question is then, when I decide to do some mongering it shouldn't be an issue to find short time hotels right? Massages and such have their own locations so I am good there. I don't really want to have a girl stay overnight or anything so no concerns there. If I do find a particular girl I like I might still invite her to the airbnb, but that would be only with 1 or 2 girls max most likely.

Hi,

Need inputs if any 5 star hotels have separate pathway to lift for discretion near Thermae? I want to avoid walk of shame as far as possible (personal preference only).

I stayed in Anantara when it was the Four Seasons and really had no issues. The lunch buffet was excellent. You're kind of exposed when you walk to the elevator with your date, and standards weren't quite up to a normal Four Seasons. The only real downside for me was the walk to the Chit Lom BTS station. The Intercontinental and Grand Hyatt Erawan were not only closer, but you had Spasso and Mixx on site at the hotels.

I haven't stayed at the J W Marriott in quite a while, and I was there when the hotel was newer. But if I were going to Bangkok for mongering, that might be my hotel of choice. If you're there on business it may look a little shady, being only a block or two away from Nana. It was a nice hotel. You could March your date past the front desk and register her, or walk her in through the entrance closer to Sukhumvit and go straight to the elevator. The selection among the best looking women is better at Nana anyway compared to the Thermae and Mixx IMO.

Thanks for the thorough feedback. I have actually booked JW and will come back to the group with my experience.

Thansk Tiny.

I was actually considering Anantara or JW Marriott actually. Any issues with the above hotel?

Thanks for the info on Four points } 3 star hotel and above is a must for me.

All, really appreciate the informative blogs around hotel choices. I have mongered before in BKK but those were the days of Spasso when I stayed in Hyatt close to Mixx as well and other night clubs for pick up.

This time, after many years, the mongering scene had changed which I learn from RTFF so I need your help please.

1. Can you recommend a 5 star Hotel with good food, ideally a bar or rooftop bar where there is pickup chances of FLs.

2. Location ideally close to places like Mixx (if still open), Thermae and any other night clubs I can goto for pick up. It does not need to be close to Metro. I can use Grab or taxi..

I can recommend Sofitel Sukhumvit or Hyatt Regency, they are very close to everything, both have rooftop bars. I stayed in both and I was very satisfied but there are no FLs, you can go to Oskar Bar if you want to pickup FLs.

Hi all,

I have booked my room at the newly opened Staybridge suite on Soi 24 Alley for my upcoming trip in October. I am using my IHG points for this stay and they offer free breakfast. Last time I stayed at the Holiday Inn on Soi 22. I did some research on allowing guests in the room.

I have booked the room with two occupants. I couldn't find any info if they are guest friendly.

If anyone knows or have stayed there, please give me feedback as I still have time to cancel and move to another hotel.

Thanks.

Staybridge on Soi 24 is actually the second branch of Staybridge in Bangkok. I've been staying at the first one one Thonglor, open since 2019, everytime I've been in BKK, including a few months during the pandemic.

For the record, I've never tried to pick up a FL in a hotel bar in Bangkok. I just don't see how that's practical given there is so much overt sex for sale in 3 or 4 main areas. I don't see a Thai girl ordering a 600+ bht drink waiting to get picked up. I'm going to assume you're asking to avoid the walk of shame and / or don't want to make it in a ST hotel or soapy with dubious cleanliness. I'm just not sure you can avoid those things.

There are no 5 star hotels with clubs in them that I can remember. They will all have really good food at very high standards. None of them will say a thing to you if you bring back a guest so I wouldn't worry about the walk of shame. I get around all this by frequenting soapies. I don't get the girl all night, couldn't keep it up anyway, and when I'm done, I'm done. I have has several relationships with FL girls from soapies who agree to see me rather than go to work and we'll go on a "date" before going back to the hotel. This obviously takes some game but it is possible.

Thanks FilthyBeaver. Indeed a tough combination. If I take out roof. A good high end hotel with good ambience, room and food plus option to pick up FL from lobby bar or club in same hotel. Would that be too much to ask.

Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit is close to Thermae with easy access to the BTS and MRT.
